Submitting your financial guarantee

You must submit a copy of your financial guarantee to ASU every time you receive one, whether for the first time or an updated version, in order to ensure that billing of your sponsor is not interrupted and to avoid late fees on your account. 

Please follow these steps for submitting your financial guarantee:

The validity of your new financial guarantee will be reviewed by the ISSC and Student Business Services. If there are any issues with your financial guarantee, you will be contacted by email. If your financial guarantee is accepted, your tuition and fees will be billed to your sponsor. Check the Finance tab in My ASU to see your student account information.

Guidelines

• Your financial guarantee must be valid at all times. It is your responsibility to contact your sponsor for a new financial guarantee and submit a copy to Student Business Services and the ISSC.
• Due to system limitations, you will not be formally notified when your financial guarantee expires, so be aware of when your term is ending.
• You must monitor your financial account regularly. Your sponsor will be billed for tuition and related fees, but the account is in your name. Any charges that are not paid by your sponsor are your responsibility.
• If your account becomes delinquent, ASU has the right to place a hold on your account that will prevent registration, access to grades, transcripts, and your diploma. You may also be charged late fees.
• Any changes to your financial guarantee must be submitted to Student Business Services and the ISSC.
