Hi
We chase the student if the sponsor defaults on payment but I am sure that
if it ever got to court it would be thrown out. Essentially a contract
exists between the institution and the sponsor to pay an amount of money and
it is the sponsor that should be pursued. It is just "easier" to chase the
student. Most defaulting sponsors are overseas anyway, which is a difficulty
in itself and the students can sometimes secure a new sponsor or find the
fees themselves.
I feel that it is one of those areas that ought to be dealt with on a case
by case basis to secure payment,
Jane

Subject: Tuition Fees - Employer sponsored students
Hello
I would appreciate advice on the practices adopted by other organisations
relating to Employer sponsored students.
If the fees are not paid by the sponsor, do you continue to chase the
sponsor and if so, have you had any success in pursuing them through the
Courts?
If you don't pursue the sponsor, do you subsequently invoice and chase the
student?
Any guidance on this and relevant wording on documentation issued would be
helpful.
Many thanks
