Payment Plans

Most UHV students receive some financial aid, but generally not enough to pay for their entire semester charges.  Below are the payment plan options that UHV offers to give students more time to pay their charges.

Please note:  Tuition and fees refers to the costs associated with registered courses and do not include housing or meal plan charges.  Additionally, the payment plan options stated below are not applicable to the FastTrack Program.

Students who fail to make full payment on time, including any late fees, may be subject to one or more of the following actions:

  • Financial hold on student’s record preventing registration at any UH campus;
  • Withholding of grades, degree, and official transcripts;
  • Other penalties and actions authorized by law or university policy.

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.

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

Housing and Meal Plan Charges

After submission of a housing application, housing and meal plan charges are applied to a student’s account upon room placement assignment by Housing.  These charges are due in full by the advertised payment deadline for the semester.  However, if students are unable to pay these charges in full or will not be receiving enough financial aid to pay these charges in full, the following payment plan option is available to students.

Installment Payment Plan – Housing & Meal Plan Charges

  • Covers only housing and meal plan charges for the current semester
  • $20.00 non-refundable service charge, due with 1st installment payment
  • Divides housing and meal plan charges 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
  • An 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 Student Account by clicking Finances, then Charges Due
  • A student is responsible for future installments if a student withdraws completely from 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

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.
