A sponsored student is a student whose tuition and fees are paid for by a third-party organization such as First Nations, employers or government agencies.

The University of Manitoba will issue an invoice to the sponsor on behalf of a student who is sponsored by an outside agency as a service to students and sponsors. Acceptance of third-party agreements is at the discretion of the University of Manitoba.

To be eligible for third-party billing, sponsoring agencies and students must review their obligations and procedures below and submit a sponsorship form before the end of the Revision Period for the term.

The sole and final responsibility for payment of the account lies directly with you, the student. If a sponsor fails to remit the sponsorship application or payment of fees, you will be subject to the University of Manitoba’s standard collection proceedings, which includes but is not limited to:

• account holds, denied access to administrative and academic services
• late payment charges
• deregistration from future terms

Application fees are the responsibility of you, the student, and will not be invoiced to a sponsor.

You must not delay payment of fees in anticipation of third-party sponsorships. Any late payment fees that accrue prior to the authorization of a sponsorship arrangement will not be reversed. While sponsors do not typically cover late payment penalties, if they are a result of the sponsor sending in a late application, the charges will not be reversed.

If a sponsor requires proof of enrolment, you can obtain this for them by visiting Enrolment verification.

You will still receive general notifications through Aurora Student or your UM email accounts regarding general university payment deadlines.

If you have prepaid your account, received a government student loan or a scholarship/bursary and the sponsor payment results in a credit balance, you may request a refund payment. For instructions, read "How to request a refund payment" under Refunds.

You are responsible for providing additional information such as grades or attendance to the sponsor if the sponsor requires the information.

You are responsible for opting out of UMSU Health and Dental Coverage if you already have alternate coverage. Learn more on the UMSU Health and Dental page.

The transfer of funds from an RESP to the university is not considered a form of sponsorship.

You are responsible for paying the charges for documents required by a sponsor and these will not be invoiced to a sponsor.

The sponsoring agency must complete the Sponsorship Authorization form and submit it before the start of the first sponsored term in each academic year.

• The completed form authorizes the University of Manitoba to invoice the agency for tuition and fees for the student(s) listed in the request.
• If there are any changes to the sponsor information, authorized coverage or addition of new sponsored students during the year, a new form must be submitted prior to the start of the term.
• Please identify the terms being covered by placing a check mark in the applicable boxes.

Payment must be made upon receipt of the invoice. If payment is not received, late payment penalties, per student, will be added to the next term’s billing.

If payment is not received within 30 days of billing, a hold will be placed on the sponsored student’s account that prevents further registration, release of grades or transcripts and other administrative and academic services.

If payment is not received within 90 days of billing, sponsorships for future terms will not be accepted until the account is paid in full and a deposit for future terms is received.

Any restrictions or contingencies on the authorization are not allowed. For example, if the sponsor requires proof of attendance, grades, transcripts or notification of class withdrawals before paying, the university will not authorize the third-party billing. In such cases the student is responsible for paying their fees and should request reimbursement from the sponsoring agency.

Transcripts must be obtained from the Registrar’s Office only. Find more information at Transcripts.

Class attendance at the university level is not mandatory and is therefore not recorded. When a sponsor does require this information, arrangements must be made in advance and it is the student’s responsibility to have their instructors complete any required forms.

If books and supplies are included, the sponsor must also submit the sponsorship form directly to the UM BookStore.

Find more information on sponsored students at Sponsored student accounts.

If you are eligible for a refund, the University of Manitoba may issue your refund through the PayMyTuition portal.

You will receive an email with instructions when your refund is ready. Follow the instructions to provide the information needed to receive your funds.

Processing times may vary depending on the refund method and destination.

We can pay your refund by cheque if you have a Canadian bank account.

If your request is approved to be issued by cheque, a cheque will be mailed to the address listed on your Aurora account. Ensure the address on the account is your current mailing address.

When you use a credit card to pay your tuition and related fees on your student Aurora Account, refund will go back to the original credit card used for the payment. Convenience fee is non-refundable.

The method of payment for refunds resulting from overpayments from soucres outside Canada will depend on the original transfer method.

Funds will be returned through the original payment method used (e.g., Convera or PayMyTuition).
