Riverside City College (RCC) partners with a variety of businesses and agencies that assist students with college costs. When tuition, fees, or books are charged to an outside agency or organization, this is called Third-Party/Sponsored Billing. RCC is proud to participate in the sponsored billing programs listed below. The process and costs covered vary by program. 

Types of Third-Party Sponsors

  • Corporations, Employers and Organizations

  • International Government Programs
  • State and Federal Government Programs
  • Veterans Administration – Chapter 31 and Chapter 33

Our Partners

Amazon Career Choice is an education benefit that empowers employees to learn new skills for career success at Amazon or elsewhere. The company pays for tuition in advance to remove the financial constraints of going back to school.

Student Questions

If you need assistance with enrolling at RCC please contact our outreach department in the Welcome Center.

Processing time varies by program, as different programs have different requirements. However, we recommend students start the process at least three weeks before their registration date.

Most Vouchers/Authorizations are valid for one semester, so please make sure that you submit a new one each semester if required.

Students can email their Voucher/Authorization to ThirdPartyBilling@rccd.edu or submit the document in person at the Student Accounts/Cashier’s Office, authorizing the college to invoice their sponsor for tuition and fees charged. Please make sure to sign and date it before submitting.

Review the Voucher/Authorization provided by your Third-Party Sponsor. If the information is not included on the document, please reach out directly to your Third-Party Sponsor for clarification.

The student is responsible for any fees not covered.

No, you don’t need to pay before classes start if you submitted a Voucher/Authorization to cover the fees.  The Voucher/Authorization will be processed on your student account after the refund deadline, each semester. 

If a payment is made prior to the Voucher/Authorization being processed a refund will be issued to you within 10 weeks.
