Payment Policy
Failure to make payment arrangements by the due date will result in cancellation of the registration. Students who choose the payment option or who incur incidental fees during the semester must make full payment by the established due dates or be prohibited from registering for future terms until full payment is made. A student who is not 100 percent paid prior to the end of the term may be denied credit for coursework completed that semester or term.
Fee Payment. Payment arrangements must be made prior to the first class day. See our Web site at www.sbs.ttu.edu for payment due dates. Students will receive email billings prior to the due dates.
Payment must reach Student Business Services by close of business on the due date. Cancellation for non-payment will occur after close of business on the due date. Students who are cancelled prior to the first class day for nonpayment will not be allowed to reregister for classes until open registration.
Students registering after the first due date will have until the 12th class day (4th class day in summer) to make payment arrangements. Students who are cancelled after the 12th class day (4th class day in summer) will be assessed late charges before being allowed to reregister.
Tuition and fees may be paid using one of the following options:
Option 1: Payment of the total amount due (cash, check, credit card, 100 percent financial aid).
Option 2: Payment option plan (not available for summer terms). All charges, including housing and hospitality.
Option 3: Emergency enrollment loan (tuition and fees only).
Payment Option Plan (Option 2) (Back to Top)
Texas State Law (Texas Education Code, Section 54.007a) allows students to pay tuition, fees, housing, and hospitality in three installments over the course of the semester. Students selecting this option are required to enroll in the payment option plan online through the eBill system. Additional instructions for enrolling in the payment option plan are available at www.sbs.ttu.edu.
The first installment of 20 percent of all tuition and fees is due by August 1 at the time the student enrolls in the payment option plan. The remaining balance will be due in four equal installments. During the fall semester the second installment is due September 1, the third installment is due October 1, the fourth installment is due November 1, and the fifth and final installment is due December 1. In the spring semester the first installment is due January 3, the second installment is due February 1, the third installment is due March 1, the fourth installment is April 1,the fifth and final payment is due May 1. A service charge of $25 must be paid at the time the student enrolls in the plan in addition to the 20 percent down payment. This option is not available for summer terms. Students who have elected the payment option plan and subsequently add or change courses must maintain a 20 percent or greater payment status on the 12th class day. Please check your account information via the Web to ensure compliance with the terms of the agreement.
Emergency Enrollment Loan (Option 3) (Back to Top)
Students may request an Emergency Enrollment Loan (EEL) for tuition and fees. Students selecting the EEL option prior to second cancellation are required to sign up online through the eBill system. After second cancellation, the EEL will only be available via paper form. The form may be obtained from Student Business Services in the Student Financial Center, located at 301 West Hall or online at www.sbs.ttu.edu. A service charge of $25 is due at the time the student requests the EEL option. Emergency Enrollment Loans are disbursed on a first come, first served basis until funds are depleted. Please visit the Web site at www.sbs.ttu.edu for
additional information and payment dates.
Billings will be sent via email to all preregistered students one month prior to the due date. Students registering after preregistration or those making changes to their billing after the initial billing will receive weekly e-bill updates to their established Texas Tech email address or addresses. Monthly billings for incidental expenses will be emailed the 10th of each month and must be paid in full prior to the 1st of the following month to avoid late fees. Students are billed based on their location of residence and location of classes. Students must verify their location each term when registering and may request a location change anytime by entering the change at www.techsis.admin.ttu.edu/student.
