Information for Sponsored Students and Sponsoring Agencies

Your sponsor must complete, sign, and submit the Student Sponsorship Application form [pdf]. This form authorizes MITT to invoice the sponsor for your tuition/fees. Other forms or letters from sponsoring agencies addressed to you or MITT are not considered authorization for sponsorship.

The form must be received by MITT by the appropriate deadline:

• Sponsor IS paying admission deposit - prior to the admission deposit deadline indicated in your offer of admission
• Sponsor is NOT paying admission deposit - prior to the proof of funding deadline specific to the intake you applied to

Failure to return the completed form by the deadline will result in your admission being withdrawn for non-payment.

Ask your sponsor to submit the completed form to:

Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology
7 Fultz Blvd
Winnipeg, MB  R3Y 1G4
or
Email: csr@mitt.ca

Important notes:

• Acceptance of third-party billing is at the discretion of MITT
• If you are enrolled in a 2-year program, your sponsor must submit a signed and completed Student Sponsorship Application form each year prior to the proof of funding deadline date.

Is your sponsor paying your admission deposit?

• If yes, the Student Sponsorship Application form must be received by the admission deposit deadline indicated in your offer of admission to hold your seat in your program of study.
• If no, you will be responsible for paying the admission deposit by the deadline indicated in your offer of admission to hold your seat in your program of study.  The Student Sponsorship Application form must be received from your sponsor by the proof of funding deadline specific to the intake/start date you applied to.

MITT is unable to invoice sponsors for textbook or supply costs.

If your sponsor will be assisting you with textbook and supply costs, please provide them with your program's supply list and textbook information found on our Program Information webpage.

We have a partnership with the University of Winnipeg bookstore. If your textbooks are available through the University of Winnipeg's bookstore, contact the U of W Bookstore (Follett Canada) directly for sponsorship information.

Information regarding textbooks or other learning materials that are not available at the U of W bookstore can be found on your program's supply list.

If your sponsor is not assisting with these costs, they are your responsibility.

All supply costs are approximate. 

Application Fee

MITT cannot invoice your sponsor for an application fee(s).

Each program selected requires payment of the applicable application fee.

Your application fee(s) must be paid in full when you submit your application. 

If your sponsor wishes to assist you with the application fee(s), this must be arranged between you and your sponsor.

Admission Deposit Fee

MITT can invoice your sponsor for the admission deposit fee.

If your sponsor is paying your admission deposit fee, the Student Sponsorship Application form must be completed, signed, and submitted by the admission deposit deadline indicated in your offer of admission.

If your sponsor is unable to submit the Student Sponsorship Application form by the admission deposit deadline, or if they are not paying the admission deposit fee, you are responsible for paying the admission deposit fee in full by the admission deposit deadline or your seat will be released.

Invoices will be sent to sponsors 10 (ten) days after the proof of funding deadline.

The payment due date will be indicated on the invoice. Due dates will be based on your program start date:

• Fall - October
• Winter - February
• Spring - June

1. As a sponsored student, it is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with MITT’s Withdrawal and Refund policies and academic policies.
   
   
2. As a sponsored student, it is your responsibility to ensure that your sponsor has submitted a Student Sponsorship Application Form by the admission deposit deadline indicated in your offer of admission, or, if you are paying the admission deposit, by the proof of funding deadline. If the form is not received by the proof of funding deadline, you are responsible to either:
   • provide full payment of fees by the fee payment deadline
     or
   • sign up for a Rotessa Payment plan by the fee payment deadline (see Fee Payment Methods Originating Within Canada, then Rotessa Payment Plan on our Fee Payment webpage)
     
     
3. If you require time to arrange sponsorship funding, you may request an admission deferral to the next available intake. The admission deferral request must be received prior to the fee payment deadline for the non-refundable admission deposit payment to be transferred to the next intake. Students who request a deferral after the fee payment deadline will be required to pay a new admission deposit fee. For more information, see the Deferrals of Admissions - Policy and Process section of our How to Apply - Canadians and Permanent Residents webpage or our How to Apply - International Students webpage.
   
   
4. Do not delay payment of fees in anticipation of third-party sponsorship. Any late payment fees which accrue prior to the authorization of a sponsorship arrangement will not be reversed. Sponsors typically do not cover late payment penalties, even if they are a result of the sponsor sending in the sponsorship form late. Late payment fees will not be reversed.
   
   
5. If your sponsor does not pay for all tuition and fees, or has a maximum amount of coverage, you are responsible to pay the balance in full, or establish an approved payment plan prior to the fee payment deadline. You are responsible to monitor your Student Portal Account regularly to ensure your account is in good standing.
   
   
6. The sole and final responsibility for payment of the account lies directly with you as the student. Should your sponsor fail to remit the Student Sponsorship Application form or payment of fees, you as the student will be subject to MITT’s standard collection proceedings, which includes but are not limited to:
   • Account holds, denied access to administrative and academic services
   • Late payment charges
   • Program withdrawal
7. If you have prepaid your account or received a government student loan or a scholarship/bursary, and sponsor payment results in a credit balance, you may request a refund by sending an email to finance@mitt.ca. Refund Forms are posted on the Cancellation, Withdrawal and Refunds webpage.
   
   
8. In compliance with the Manitoba Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FIPPA), MITT cannot release a student's personal or academic information to a third party without the written consent of the student. It is the student’s responsibility to provide additional information such as grades or attendance to the sponsor if the sponsor requires the information. Alternatively, the student may submit a Consent to Release Student Information form to MITT, authorizing the release of information to the sponsor. This allows MITT to share payment/financial details of the student's account with the sponsor, along with other information as authorized on the Consent to Release Student Information form. If consent is given, sponsors are asked to follow established processes to request student documents or information from MITT.
   
   
9. Charges for documents required by a sponsor are your responsibility and will not be invoiced to a sponsor.
   
   

To notify MITT you are sponsoring a student, an authorized representative must complete and submit the Student Sponsorship Application (SSA) Form. This form authorizes MITT to invoice you for the tuition and related fees for the student listed on the form. Other forms or letters will not be accepted for sponsorship.

The form must be received by MITT by the appropriate deadline:

• If you are paying the admission deposit fee - submit the form prior to the admission deposit deadline indicated in the student's offer of admission.
• If you are not paying the admission deposit - submit the form prior to the proof of funding deadline for the intake the student has applied to

Failure to return the completed form by the appropriate deadline will result in the student’s admission being withdrawn for non-payment.

Submit the completed form to:

Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology
7 Fultz Blvd
Winnipeg, MB  R3Y 1G4
or
Email: csr@mitt.ca

Important notes:

• Acceptance of third-party billing is at the discretion of MITT
• For students enrolled in a 2-year program, the sponsor must submit a signed and completed Student Sponsorship Application form each year prior to the proof of funding deadline date.

As the sponsor, are you paying the admission deposit fee?

• If no, the Student Sponsorship Application form must be received by the proof of funding deadline specific to the intake/start date the student applied to.  

MITT is unable to invoice sponsors for textbook or supply costs.

If you will be assisting with textbook and supply costs, please refer to the program supply list and textbook information found on our Program Information webpage.

We have a partnership with the University of Winnipeg bookstore. If the textbooks are available through the University of Winnipeg's bookstore, contact the U of W Bookstore (Follett Canada) directly for sponsorship information.

Information regarding textbooks or other learning materials that are not available at the U of W bookstore can be found on the program's supply list.

All supply costs are approximate.

If you wish to assist with the application fee(s), this must be arranged between you and the student.

Each program selected requires payment of the applicable application fee.

The application fee(s) must be paid in full when the application is submitted. 

Admission Deposit Fee

MITT can invoice the sponsor for the admission deposit fee.

If you are paying the admission deposit fee, the Student Sponsorship Application form must be completed, signed, and submitted by the admission deposit deadline indicated in the student's offer of admission.

If you are unable to submit the Student Sponsorship Application form by the admission deposit deadline, or if you are not paying the admission deposit fee, the student will be responsible for paying the admission deposit fee in full by the admission deposit deadline or their seat will be released.

Invoices will be sent to sponsors 10 (ten) days after the proof of funding deadline.

The payment due date will be indicated on the invoice. Due dates will be based on your program start date:

• Fall - October

In compliance with the Manitoba Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FIPPA), MITT cannot release a student's personal or academic information to a third party without the written consent of the student. It is the student’s responsibility to provide additional information such as grades or attendance to the sponsor if the sponsor requires the information. Alternatively, the student may submit a Consent to Release Student Information form to MITT, authorizing the release of information to the sponsor. This allows MITT to share payment/financial details of the student's account with the sponsor, along with other information as authorized on the Consent to Release Student Information form. If consent is given, sponsors are asked to follow established processes to request student documents or information from MITT.

Due to the nature of programming at MITT, attendance is not always recorded and therefore it is not possible to provide attendance tracking for all students. When a sponsor requires this information, it is the student's responsibility to make any necessary arrangements for attendance tracking/reporting with their instructor prior to the start of the program.

1. The Sponsoring Agency must complete a Student Sponsorship Application form.
   
   
2. Submission of the Student Sponsorship Application form is considered a binding commitment for the sponsorship of the student.
   
   
3. Any restrictions or contingencies on the payment are not allowed. If the sponsor requires proof of attendance, grades, transcripts or notification of class withdrawals before submitting payment to MITT, MITT will not authorize the third-party billing. In such cases, the student is responsible for paying their fees and should request reimbursement from the sponsoring agency.
   
   
4. Payment is due on the date indicated on the invoice. Due dates will be in October, for student starting in the Fall; in February, for students starting in Winter; and in June for students starting in Spring. If payment is not received by the deadline indicated on the invoice, late payment penalties, per student, will be added to the outstanding balance. Tuition estimates and fee information can be found on the Tuition Fees webpage.
   
   
5. If payment is not received by the deadline indicated on the invoice, a hold may be placed on the sponsored student’s account that prevents student account access, release of grades or transcripts, and other administrative/academic services.
   
   
6. The sole and final responsibility for payment of the account lies directly with the student. Should a sponsor fail to remit the Student Sponsorship Application form or payment of fees, the student will be subject to MITT’s standard collection proceedings, which includes but are not limited to:
   • Account holds, denied access to administrative and academic services
   • Late payment charges
   • Program withdrawal
7. If payment is not received within 60 days of billing, sponsorships for future terms will not be accepted until the account is paid in full and a deposit for future terms is received.
   
   
8. The issuance of credit to a sponsor is at the discretion of MITT. Sponsors who have delayed payment of student accounts in past terms will not be accepted without an advance deposit, the amount to will be determined by MITT.
