Individuals Registrants who will be Company-Paid

If a company or organization will be or paying for your registration at Georgia Tech Professional Education, we offer the following options for your convenience.

Invoicing 

Once you have followed your internal approval processes, we can easily invoice if an approval document is supplied during the registration process. This will need to include a detail of the student information, the billing information, as well as the allowed total, and could be an issued Purchase Order (PO), or another official approval document such as a SF182* or detailed approval letter on company letterhead. Usually your manager, the accounts payable department, or a training officer can confirm the process within your organization. 

*For US Government Employees: The SF182 is a mechanism used to authorize, obligate funding, and pay for federal employees training expenses. Please ensure all boxes are filled out appropriately. In Section C Box 6, please make sure to provide both a physical address as well as an email address for the person responsible for payment. 

Company Credit Card 

If you have access to a company credit card, you can easily use it during the registration process. If someone else in your organization will be paying for your registration using a company credit card, they will need to utilize SponsorPoint to complete the registration process. Please send them the information found here on how to set up and use SponsorPoint.  

Georgia Tech Internal Payments 

For those internal to Georgia Tech, please select Internal Payments during the checkout process and supply the worktag associated with your designated budget.

If you are paying for a group, here are some helpful tips: 

  • Be sure your registrants apply any group discount code, if applicable, when they register. This will ensure the discount is applied to their invoices. 

  • You may consider giving your registrants a deadline. If your registrants are registered by a certain date, then you know you should see all associated invoices generated in SponsorPoint and you can pay one time for all registrants.
