Direct Pay  

In those situations where the tuition is paid directly to the university by a third party (such as an employer, organization or embassy), the student must provide the Office of Student Accounts with a purchase order or a written statement of intent to pay by the third party as soon as possible. Please make sure to start this conversation with your employer or third party directly. They may contact our office directly as well.  

Once paperwork is sent in and processed, an External Payment credit will show up on the student account in the amount of what was agreed upon with the third party. If the amount does not match, please contact the Student Navigation Center at NavCenter@salemstate.edu and in the subject use Attention: Third Party.

In the event the third party does not make payment, the student will become responsible for those charges that were intended to be paid for by the third party.
