Pay from Another Source
From Financial Aid
Financial Aid will be applied toward any amount due to 91重口 before the monies are released to you. Financial Aid checks will be direct deposited (or mailed) bi-weekly beginning the second week of the term. You can sign up for direct deposit on WebRunner.
You assume full responsibility for tuition and fees and will be charged late fees if Financial Aid is not disbursed prior to the late fee assessed dates. If Financial Aid is denied or canceled, you remain responsible for all charges unless you withdraw during the refund period.
From an Authorized User
An Authorized user is a parent, guardian, employer, or other individual who you have approved to view and pay your bill online. Authorized users can view account balances and make payments through the online payment portal, but do not have access to grades, financial aid details, or other academic records.
Students: How to Add an Authorized User
- Log into WebRunner.
- Select the "Open Student Dashboard" in the Student-Self Service section.
- Under Student Accounts, select "Make a Payment or Authorize Another Payer."
- Under My Profile Setup in the right-hand box, select "Authorized Users."
- Enter the email address of the person you want to authorize and send the invitation.
The authorized user will receive an email with instructions to create their own login and password.
Parents & Authorized Payers: Access the System
If you have already received an invitation email and completed your account setup, log in below.
After logging in, you can view the student鈥檚 current balance and make payments online. Authorized users should pay only the current balance due. Credit balances are refunded to the student unless the payment was made by credit card, in which case the card used will be credited.
From a Third Party
Third-party billing is when a private or government agency (such as employer or sponsoring agency) pays any portion of your tuition or fees. Third parties pay the college directly on your behalf with an agreement, commitment, or obligation between you and the paying party.
Qualifications for Third-Party Billing
Outside organizations can qualify for third-party billing if:
- They will cover all or most of your tuition and fees
- They will send payments directly to 91重口
- They require an itemized invoice to be addressed in their name
Check with your sponsor.
Before you register for classes, check with your sponsor and make sure they have a
formal billing arrangement with 91重口.
Provide billing authorization.
Have your sponsor provide a billing authorization to you or to the college.
Meet the due dates.
We must receive your billing authorization by the payment due date. It鈥檚 up to you to make sure the billing authorization is received on time. Email
authorizations to wheeles@linnbenton.edu or mail to our address (see above). You must finish registering for classes, including
waitlisted, open-entry, and late-starting classes, by the second Tuesday of the term.
Third-party payments are not subject to the same deadlines as student payments, nor
are third-party bills sent at the same time as student bills. You are responsible
for ensuring that payments made on your behalf are received in a timely manner. We
generally expect payment prior to the end of term. If your third-party payer fails to pay, you are responsible for paying all charges
due on your account.
Check your student account.
Check your student account balance regularly in WebRunner. If you owe money, either we did not receive the authorization, it is incomplete,
or the sponsor is only paying part of your bill. If your authorization is not enough
to cover your bill, you will need to pay the difference by the payment due date.
Do not set up your third party as an authorized user on your student account.
Be aware when making third-party purchases at the Campus Store.
It normally takes one business day from the time we receive the authorization to post the funds to your account. However, due to increased volume at the start of the term, it may take an additional day to process forms during that time. When making your purchase, indicate the purchase is being paid for with agency funding.
- It is best if your sponsor sends your authorization to us early. In most cases, you can purchase your books and supplies before the term starts.
- You are ultimately responsible for the purchases that you make at the Campus Store. If for any reason your sponsor does not pay, you will be placed on hold (which means you will not be able to register for classes or receive transcripts) and billed for the items that were not paid for.
- Contact your sponsor directly with questions about what items you are allowed to purchase. The Campus Store posts amounts to your account based on the authorization submitted by your sponsor. We are not able to allow purchases of items such as electronics, calculators, backpacks, or computers that are not specifically authorized.

Holds and Refunds
Financial Holds
We put holds on your account when you have an overdue balance. You can ask to have the hold temporarily lifted in order to allow you to register for an upcoming term by filling out a .
Refunds
To receive a tuition refund, you must officially drop a class by the deadline below via WebRunner or by submitting a Schedule Change Form to Registration.
| Class Length | Drop Deadline |
|---|---|
| One Day | Day before class |
| One Week | Day before second class session |
| Two Weeks | Day before first class session of the second week |
| Three or More Weeks | Second Monday of the term |
If you are entitled to a refund, it will be processed automatically and direct deposited, mailed, or credited to your account after the drop deadlines. Refunds are processed bi-weekly after the first week of the term.
You may petition for a refund after the deadline if serious and compelling circumstances beyond your control prevented you from dropping within the refund period by filling out a .
Electronic Billing
Instead of sending bills by mail, an email will be sent to your 91重口 email account to notify you to review and pay your account. Billing notifications will be sent to students who have registered for a class and have an account balance, and they are generated before the first and second late fee assessed dates (see Due Dates). Note: if you register after billing notifications are sent, you won't receive a notification; however, you can view your amount due on WebRunner at any time.
You are free to forward your notification to another person (learn more about 91重口's email accounts).
Although your 91重口 email is our primary and preferred method of communicating with you, you may opt out of email by completing an Email Opt Out Agreement at any registration counter. If so, communication will be by mail, which may cause inherent delays in delivery. Delays in postal delivery or non-delivery will not be a viable reason for not meeting payment deadlines.
Student Liability and Responsibility
When you register for a class, you are liable for payment of the charges on that class, whether or not you attend. You may not register or obtain a transcript until your account is paid in full. To have the charges removed, you must withdraw from the class during the refund drop period. You are responsible for full payment of all charges on your account by the due dates, whether or not you receive billing notification, even if your account is being paid by another party.
Under ORSRS 348-105, you will be held liable for any charges on your account even if you are not yet 18 years old.
You are responsible for keeping 91重口 informed of any address changes.
Failure to Pay: All Student Accounts
- 91重口 may require immediate payment of the entire account balance for failure to make timely payments including late-payment fees. 91重口 will refer the account to an outside collection agency for failure to pay as agreed. If the account is referred to a collection agency and/or an attorney, collection, court and attorney costs will be added to the account.
- Transcript requests will not be processed if an account is in a delinquent status.
- 91重口 has the right, without prior notice, to stop or suspend the extension of credit and to withhold services if the required minimum payments are not made on time. The withholding of services includes, but is not limited to, registration for classes and workshops. 91重口 may change the terms of the 91重口 Payment Plan and may change existing and future charges at any time. Notice will be made in advance as required by law.
