It is your responsibility to make sure your registration is paid and completed by the due date.

Due dates for the terms are 7 working days prior to the first class day of the term.

Information on Drops/Withdrawals

Rates for refunds for dropped courses or withdrawals vary depending on the academic calendar. Refer to the  2.10 for more information.

Delinquent Accounts

Delinquent obligations to the university will be sent to a collection agency and reported to credit bureaus. All costs of collections are paid by the student, which is generally an additional 25 percent of the student's obligations to the university. Delinquent accounts must be paid at the collection agency. Payment cannot be accepted by ÐßÐßÊÓƵ University if the account has been forwarded to a collection agency.

Receiving Financial Aid/Scholarships

Students who have met all requirements and have accepted their awards will have aid disbursed to their student accounts 10 days prior to the start of classes. Students with a remaining balance after aid is posted will be required to make payment arrangements with the Cashier Office (see above).

If you are a student, to review your awards, login to your student account and select the Financial Aid tab. **You must be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours (undergraduate) or 5 credit hours (graduate) for aid to be disbursed to your account. Courses must also be within your degree program to be eligible for aid.

How to Calculate Your Balance

Start by reviewing your student account (see above, Accessing Your Student Account). You will see the charges for your current term of enrollment. A current term balance will be listed. Students who are scheduled to receive financial aid/scholarships can add the upcoming term net disbursement amounts from their Financial Aid tab and then subtract this amount from the current term charges listed on the Student Account page. Any balance remaining will need to be paid in full by the due dates above.

Waivers and Exemptions

Waivers and exemptions cover the cost of tuition and some fees for certain students attending public universities in Texas such as ÐßÐßÊÓƵ University. Students eligible for these waivers and exemptions include former foster children, blind and deaf students, and military veterans from Texas. For more information on waivers and exemptions, visit the .

Texas Residency

Tuition costs are lower for Texas residents. Louisiana residents pay in-state tuition rates plus $30 per credit hour. Residents of other U.S. states and other countries pay out-of-state tuition.

Residency is determined prior to enrollment using rules and regulations established by state officials. Complete the corresponding Core Residency Form if you believe you should be classified as a Texas Resident and are currently identified as a non-Texas Resident.
