Installment Payment Plan – Tuition & Fees

Texas State Law (Texas Education Code, Section 54.007a) allows students to pay tuition and mandatory fees in installments over the course of the semester in accordance with a payment plan established by the University. Students selecting this option must apply for the option online, accept the terms of the plan, and make the first installment payment prior to the payment deadline.

• Covers only tuition and mandatory fees for the current semester
• $20.00 non-refundable service charge, due with 1st installment payment
• Divides tuition and fees into 4 equal monthly installment payments
• The first installment payment is due by the published payment deadline of the semester, remaining installment payments are due on the 1st of each month during the semester  (Fall semesters: September 1, October 1, November 1; Spring semesters:  February 1, March 1, April 1)
• A late fee of $25.00 will be applied for each installment payment not paid by the due date
• Account is considered delinquent if one installment is past due, and a hold will be placed preventing future enrollment and transcript requests
• Courses dropped or added after signing up for Installment Payment Plan will change the amounts due on the payment schedule;  students need to check Charges Due in their myUHV by clicking Finances, then Charges Due
• Student is responsible for future installments if student withdraws completely for the semester
• The Installment Payment Plan option is not available for Summer semesters

This plan is best for students who are paying out of pocket and can pay set amounts on specific due dates throughout the semester

Institutional Loan (NOT a cash loan)

• Extends the payment due date for TUITION & MANDATORY FEES ONLY
• Due date is extended until November 1 (Fall semesters), April 1 (Spring semesters), or July 1 (Summer semesters)
• A service fee is applicable (to calculate the service fee multiple total tuition and mandatory fees by 1.25%)
• No interest is assessed  
• $25.00 late fee will be assessed if the balance is not paid in full by the loan due date

• In term withdrawal cases, the student remains responsible for the repayment of this loan by the loan due date.    
• Loan balances will not be adjusted for term withdrawals occurring after the prorated refund period.    

This payment plan is best for students who are waiting for financial aid to be awarded or who are paying out of pocket and need flexibility which allows the scheduling of payments around paycheck dates or other specific dates throughout the semester

Book Loan

• Loan to help students purchase books and supplies prior to the start of the semester
• Credit transferred to Jag Station, UHV's on-campus bookstore
• $400.00 in Fall and Spring semesters, $200.00 in Summer semesters
• No service charge
• Due on October 1 (Fall semesters), March 1 (Spring semesters), or July 1 (Summer semesters)
• A late fee of $25.00 will be applied if the balance is not paid in full by the due date
• Only one book loan per student per semester will be issued

Residential students receiving financial aid  

Accepting a tuition and fee payment plan will change the due date of your tuition and fee charges but will not change the due date for housing and meal plan charges.  In some cases, students may need to select a payment plan for both tuition and fee charges and housing and meal plan charges.  When choosing a payment plan, please keep in mind that financial aid funds will apply to charges in due date order when financial aid is disbursed to the student account.

Example:  If a student selects a tuition and fee loan, the due date for tuition and fee charges will be extended to November 1 (Fall terms) or April 1 (Spring terms) while the due date for housing and meal plan charges are unchanged.

As financial aid awards or out of pocket payments are posted to the student’s account, the payments will first be applied to housing and meal plan charges since they are due first.  Once those charges have been paid in full, any remaining amount paid will be applied to the tuition and fee loan. If financial aid funds are exhausted before the tuition loan is paid in full, the student is responsible for paying the remaining loan balance by the loan due date.
