  • Collaborate with internal departments, including billing, accounting, cash application, academic services, and administrative teams, to resolve account problems.
  • Coordinate with external sponsors, businesses, government agencies, and other stakeholders to clarify billing requirements and facilitate payment.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of collection activities, customer interactions, correspondence, payment commitments, and account status.
