Electronic check payments are accepted online and are not subject to a service charge.  Check, Money Order and Cashier Check payments are accepted in the Student Business Services Office.  Check payments mailed to the university must be received by the published payment deadline to avoid cancellation for nonpayment.       

Installment Pay Plan

Texas State Law (Texas Education Code, Section 54.007a) allows students to pay tuition and fees in installments over the course of the semester. Students select this payment option online. Students who accept this plan AND make the required initial payment will not be subject to cancellation for nonpayment. The installment plan option is available during the Fall and Spring terms only.

Drop and add activity may affect a student’s installment schedule. Students are responsible for reviewing their account online after making schedule changes and paying any additional amount prior to the payment deadline. A $25 late fee will be charged for each installment payment that is late.

Tuition and Fee Loans

Tuition and fee loans are available to help students defer payment of tuition and fees to avoid enrollment cancellation. These loans are not cash loans and are granted in an amount equal to 100% of total tuition and fees for the current term. Students request tuition loans online under the payment plan page. Loan duration is 90 days in the fall and spring terms and 30 days in the summer sessions. More information about tuition and fee loans is available on the Student Business Services website.   

Book Loans

The book loan amount is a flat rate of $400 in the Fall/spring semesters and $200 in the Summer semester. No interest or service charge is assessed on book loans. Loan duration is generally 45 days in the Fall & Spring sessions and 30 days in the summer sessions.  A book loan credit will be sent to Jag Station within 24 hours of the request.  Students will receive email instructions from Jag Station explaining the book loan purchase process.

To avoid enrollment cancellation, students should check their accounts online after making schedule changes and, if required, pay additional charges for added courses before the payment deadline. Financial aid students must pay, or select a payment option such as the tuition loan, for any difference between total charges and anticipated aid prior to the payment deadline to avoid enrollment cancellation. Courses will be cancelled in registration order (last course added will be the first course cancelled) if payment in full has not been made or a payment plan option has not been selected by the due date.

Tuition and Fee Refund Information

The university is a State of Texas Institution of Higher Education and refunds are issued in accordance with the State of Texas Higher Education Code, Section 54.006.

Student Refunds

New students who are enrolling for the first time in courses at A&M-Victoria will be mailed a Refund Selection kit from BankMobile, A&M-Victoria’s refund processor. This kit contains information about the refund delivery options available at A&M-Victoria and will include instructions for selecting a refund preference. Selecting a refund preference is a vital step in getting refunds to students as quickly as possible.

Student Responsibilities

Prior to enrolling students are responsible for ensuring they meet course requirements and prerequisites. Students are advised to speak with an advisor if they have any questions regarding course prerequisites. Failure to meet course requirements, including course prerequisites, is insufficient grounds for a refund of tuition and fees. 

Course load reductions may affect financial aid eligibility. It is strongly advised that students who have been awarded financial aid speak with a Financial Aid Counselor prior to making schedule changes or completely withdrawing as eligibility may be affected. It is important for students to understand and follow withdrawal procedures. Stopping payment on a check for tuition and fees or allowing a check to be returned unpaid by the bank for any reason does not constitute official withdrawal. 

Drop and withdrawals become effective the date the drop is processed online or the date the written notification is received in the Office of the Registrar and Student Records. The effective date becomes the official date of the drop or withdrawal for all matters relating to university business. The student assumes responsibility for letters requesting a drop or withdrawal that are delayed or not delivered. Student services and privileges, including library services and use of computer labs, terminate when a student withdraws from the university.

Withdrawal Refunds

The university will refund a percentage of the tuition and required fees charged to students who officially withdraw from all courses at the institution according to the schedules below. Class days, during the fall, spring, and summer terms, are counted from the first official class day of a term. The “first class day” is determined by the beginning of a semester or summer session. The first class day is not defined by individual courses. Please refer to the Important Dates calendar for the first class day date.

Withdrawal refunds are calculated using the effective date of the student’s withdrawal. A student withdrawn by the university for scholastic or other reasons will receive a full refund of fees paid that semester. Reducing semester credit hours to zero is considered a withdrawal.

Undergraduate 6‐Drop Limit

Texas Education Code (51.907) prohibits students enrolling for the first time as a freshman during the Fall 2007 academic term or any term thereafter from dropping more than a total of six courses in their entire undergraduate career. This total includes any course a transfer student has dropped at another 2-year or 4-year Texas public college or university. This does not apply to courses dropped prior to the census date (see the “Events” calendar posted on the university website) or to courses for which the student receives an administrative withdrawal or if the student withdraws from the entire term or session. Please refer to our online catalog for more details about Texas A&M University-Victoria  .

Tuition Refund Appeals

Tuition appeals are considered for medical emergency, active duty military recall, natural or national emergency, severe economic hardship, or university error. Appeals must be submitted within the term that the tuition and fees were paid. To initiate the tuition refund appeal, students must submit the Tuition and Fee Refund Appeal Form online. Additional documentation may be required. Tuition appeals must be submitted by the deadline stated in the submission instructions.  The appeal committee generally reviews appeal requests once a month.

General Information

Student services and privileges, including library services, use of computer labs and parking terminate when a student cancels registration or withdraws from the university. Stopping payment on a check used to pay tuition and fees is NOT official notice of cancellation, withdrawal or dropping of courses and WILL NOT release the student from their financial obligation for those courses.

Tuition Rebate for Certain Undergraduates

(Set by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board): Tuition rebates up to a maximum of $1,000 are available for qualified students who have attempted no more than 3 hours in excess of the minimum number of semester credit hours required to complete the degree as defined by the catalog under which they graduated.

Qualified students must apply for the rebate at the time they apply for graduation. 

Auditing a Course

Students may request to audit face to face courses only. To audit a course, students must complete an audit application. Audit applications can be requested in the Student Business Services Office, University West Building Room 117, or requested via email at billing@tamuv.edu. Audit approval is subject to seating availability. Students auditing a course are required to pay resident tuition and fee rates. Late registration fees are not charged. Auditing normally conveys only the privilege of observing and does not include submitting papers, taking tests or participating in laboratories or field work. Academic credit is not given for an audited course. Students may, however, register for the course and pay all required tuition and fees in a later semester in order to receive academic credit. Students must complete all required coursework, tests, lab work, field work, etc., in order to receive academic credit.
