The payment plan allows students to use one of the interest-free monthly payment plans to pay tuition, fees, student housing and meal plan charges. Payment plans are a quick and simple way to pay off your bill and secure your class schedule. Repayment is due as scheduled during the applicable semester.
The University offers multiple payment plan options. Students select their payment plan each semester through Texan Bill Pay. While enrolling, the student will have the option to schedule automatic payments. A nonrefundable processing fee of $20 will be charged and a late fee of $10 will be added to each installment not received by the due date. Students and authorized users can make payments under each of the plans in advance at any time during the semester; however, the $20 fee is non-refundable. Please be aware that changes in class schedules or changes in housing/meal plans may affect payment amounts. View the appropriate installment plan options below for due dates. The first installment will be due when the student enrolls in a payment plan.
