Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 1098-T?

The IRS 1098-T is an information form entitled “Tuition Statement”.  The IRS requires eligible educational institutions who receive payment for qualified tuition and related expenses during the calendar year to provide this statement to the students and to the IRS.

The IRS 1098-T tax form is mailed by January 31st of each year.  It can also be found online through SAIL once the forms have been produced and mailed.

The IRS 1098-T is mailed to the student's permanent address. If a permanent address is not available the form will be sent to the student's billing or local address, respectively. Students are responsible for making sure that all contact information is current. Most information can be updated on SAIL. Any change of address for the 1098-T must be completed prior to January 1st to guarantee that the 1098-T will be sent to the correct address. The Business Office begins the process of creating 1098-T’s early in the month of January.

Do I have to provide my Social Security Number for the 1098-T?

Federal law requires that you provide your correct Social Security Number or Tax Identification Number so that the University can include it in the information, which will be filed with the IRS. You may be subject to an IRS fine for failure to provide the requested information and the IRS will not be able to use the Form 1098-T filed by Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi to confirm your eligibility for certain education tax benefits without your SSN or TIN.

How do I provide my Social Security Number? 

If you do not have a Social Security Number (SSN) or Tax Identification Number (TIN) listed on your account you can complete a W-9s and submit it to the Business Office.  If the SSN or TIN we have on file is incorrect you will need to complete the Authorization for Change form and provide the required documentation to the Registrar’s Office in order to have the existing information updated.

You, or the person who may claim you as a dependent, may be able to take either the tuition and fees deduction or claim an education credit on Form 1040 or 1040A for the qualified tuition and related expenses that were actually paid during the calendar year. There is no IRS requirement that you must claim the tuition and fees deduction or an education credit. Claiming education tax benefits is a voluntary decision for those who may qualify.

TAMUCC cannot determine if a student qualifies for a tax credit. Please read the instructions on the IRS 1098-T statement and obtain IRS publication 970, Form 8863, Form 8917 or contact a tax professional about your personal income tax situation. The above form and publication can be found on the IRS website at www.irs.gov/formspubs/index.html. The IRS can be reached at 1.800.829.1040.

Who do I talk to about the numbers generated on the 1098-T form?

To discuss how the amounts on the IRS 1098-T form were calculated contact the Business Office at 361.825.2600 Option #5. The Business Office can give the student information on what the numbers consist of but they cannot tell a student how to use the information when filing their taxes.

Why does my IRS 1098-T form NOW show payments and not charges?

Due to federally mandated tax reporting requirements effective for calendar year 2018, TAMUCC will now report all payments for qualified tuition and related expenses in Box 1. Please note this is different from prior years where only "billed" information for qualified tuition and related expense were reported in Box 2.

Other information reported on the IRS 1098-T form is the student’s name, SSN, address and will indicate if the student was a graduate student or if the student attended at least half-time during the calendar year.

Who at TAMUCC can help me complete my taxes?

TAMUCC cannot help students or parents fill out their tax form for liability reasons. TAMUCC staff is not trained in tax law. Students/Parents must contact a tax consultant to ask questions and/or to get assistance with filing their taxes.

What is the Bill/Payment Suite?

The Bill/Payment Suite is the Business Office portion of SAIL.

To get to the Bill/Payment Suite go to SAIL, click on Login to SAIL, and enter login ID and pin code to login. Once logged into SAIL click on Student, then Student Account and then Bill/Payment Suite.

The Bill/Payment Suite offers the following features: Online payments via check or credit card (Discover, American Express & Master Card), Electronic Bills, Email Notifications, Installment Payment Plans, Emergency Tuition Loans, Sign up Authorized Users, Payment Reminders for the Installment Plans and Emergency Tuition Loan, Limited Text Message Notifications, and Schedule Payments for future dates.

Log on to SAIL and go to the Bill/Payment Suite. Click on Make a Payment. Choose the correct term when making a payment. A payment can also be set up to process on a future date by changing the date. If a payment is scheduled for a future date that is past the due date, a late fee will still be assessed to the student account. Please see Important Dates for each term/semester due dates.

A student can log into SAIL and go to the Bill/Payment Suite to find their overall account balance and/or specific term balance.  Once a student has logged into the Bill/Payment Suite on the main page an overall account balance will be listed.  To find the balance for a specific term click on Account Activity under the My Account section on the main page .  Then choose the term from the drop down menu and click Go.  The balance will be located at the bottom of the page.

A student can log into SAIL and go to the Bill/Payment Suite to view the transactions for a specific term.  Once a student has logged into the Bill/Payment Suite on the main page an overall account balance will be listed.  To view the transactions for a specific term click on Current Activity under the My Account section on the main page.  Then choose the term from the drop down menu and click Select.  All the transactions for the term will be listed on the screen with the term balance at the bottom.

In order to schedule a payment, log on to SAIL and go to Bill/Payment Suite, log on and click Make Payment. When entering in the details of the payment the date can be changed to a future date. If the payment date is set for a date after the payment is due the student will still be assessed any applicable late fees. However, the late fees will not be included with the scheduled payment. Scheduling a payment for tuition after the due date will not prevent a student’s classes from being dropped for non-payment. Please see Important Dates for each term/semester due dates.

A student has the ability to pull a report of payments made by the student and/or authorized user on SAIL and payments made in the Business Office. A student will log on to SAIL and go to the Bill/Payment Suite, click on the My Account and then click on Payment History. Choose the different parameters and then click on View Report.

Any time a bill is up loaded to the Bill/Payment Suite the system sends an email to the student's University email address to notify them of the bill. Included in the email is the amount due, which may be zero. If the account or transaction is paid the billing statement will include any transactions generated since the previous bill, most of the time this transaction would be the payment that paid the account in full.

A student has the ability to give access to the Bill/Payment Suite to a parent or spouse. The Authorized User has the ability to access the same information as the student, without the student having to give their student log on and password to SAIL. This only gives the Authorized User access to the Bill/Payment Suite; they will not have access to the other portions of SAIL. The Authorized User will have their own log in and password. A person can be an Authorized User on multiple student accounts as long as they are signed up using the same email address; otherwise they would have multiple user ID and passwords.

Log on to SAIL and go to the Bill/Payment Suite and then click on Authorized Users under My Profile Setup. Then click on Add Authorized User and follow the instructions. An email will be sent to the Authorized User telling them where to go to sign on and what their temporary password is. Their user ID will be their email address. The authorized user link to log in can be found on the SAIL homepage under Login to SAIL.

An Authorized User will be able to see everything that the student can see and will be able to make payments or sign up the student on an installment plan on the student’s behalf. The student does have the ability to deny the authorized user access to see the student’s bill and to run a payment report. This only denies access to the electronic bill or running the report but does not keep the authorized user from seeing the details for each term when looking at the activity.

How do I sign up to receive text messages from the Bill/Payment Suite?

Log on to SAIL and go to the Bill/Payment Suite and then click on Notifications under my profile setup. You'll have the option of entering in a secondary email address, opt into receiving text messages by entering the mobile phone number (555-555-5555) and select your mobile carrier from the drop down box.  Click on Save Changes to complete the process.  Messages may be sent during overnight hours and your carrier may charge a fee to receive text messages.

I have signed up for text messages from the Bill/Payment Suite.  What information will I receive?

Students who have signed up to receive text messages from the Bill/Payment Suite will receive messages about new bills and upcoming payments for Emergency Tuition Loans and Installment Plans.

Why would I have a hold on my account from the Business Office?

A hold can be placed on a student's account due to an outstanding balance, which could consist of but is not limited to the following: outstanding tuition, installment plans, emergency loans, course fees, parking fees, returned checks, health services, etc. Occasionally a hold may be placed when the student needs to come by the Business Office to turn in documentation or to discuss an issue with the account.

When a hold is placed on a student's account from the Bursar's Office, Business Office or Accounts Receivable Office, the student may not be allowed to register for classes and/or receive any transcripts.

A hold will only be released if the account has been paid in full with guaranteed funds (cash, debit card, money order or cashier's check). If the account was paid in full with a check the hold will be release after 14 days or once proof is provided that the check has cleared the bank, whichever comes first. If a student's account has been paid and a hold still remains on the account, the student can contact the Business Office at 361.825.2600 Option number 5 for a representative to review the account for the hold to be released. Holds are removed manually and the Business Office runs a process weekly to help identify potential accounts that need to have their holds released.

A hold will not be removed unless the account is paid in full. See “How do I get a hold released on my account?” for more information.

What is a convenience or "service" fee? 

A 2.3% service fee, sometimes referred to as a credit or debit card "service fee," is established by third party credit or debit card issuers to cover the transaction costs of online purchases. The University does not receive any portion of convenience or service fee payments. It is also important to note that these fees are subject to change by third party credit and debit card issuers. 

Can I avoid paying a service fee? 

Yes. You can avoid service fees by making payments to the University online by electronic check (sometimes referred to as an ACH transfer or a direct debit), by paper check or a money order sent via U.S. mail. You may also pay in-person by cash, paper check or money order. 

Can I pay with my debit or credit card in-person or over the phone? 

The Business Office accepts credit cards online ONLY through SAIL. Debit card payments can be made in person. The debit card must indicate that it is a debit card, and the card holder will need to enter in their pin code. The Business Office does not accept payments by telephone or fax. 

Do other colleges and universities pass along service fees to their students? 

Yes. Many colleges and universities within and outside of Texas have similar policies. Other universities that charge a service fee include Texas A&M University, Texas A&M University – Kingsville, Texas A&M University – San Antonio, University of Houston, University of Texas, University of Texas – Dallas, University of Texas – San Antonio, and University of Texas – Rio Grande Valley. 

If I drop or withdraw from a course, will the service fee be reimbursed? 

No. Service fees are non-refundable even if a student drops or withdraws from a course. Since this is not a fee collected by the University, it cannot be included with refunds for tuition or fees. 

What financial impact will credit card and debit card convenience fees have on me? 

For perspective, a 2.3% fee on a $1,000 charge is $23.00; also, it is important to note that credit card issuers charge a minimum convenience fee of $3.00 on transactions so, a 2.3% service fee on a $100 charge would be $3.00 and not $2.30. 

How will the monies that are collected from this fee be used? 

The monies collected will be used to defray the cost of providing the credit card payment options (merchant fees) for those who wish to pay via credit card. This change will benefit all students as the University continues to look for ways to control costs and invest the University budget resources into academic excellence and other services. 

What type of payment methods does TAMU-CC Business Office accept in person? 

TAMUCC accepts the following payment methods in person: 

• Cash 
• Checks (no 3rd party checks, temporary/starter checks, or checks drawn on a foreign bank) 
• Money Order 
• Cashier Check 
• Debit Card (Master Card and Visa) - must know pin code. 
• Financial Aid (Grants, Loans, Scholarships, etc…) 
• Emergency Loan (First Time Borrowers Only) 
• Third Party Contract Billing (Texas Tomorrow Fund, DARS, Dept of Veteran’s Affairs, etc...) 
• Exemptions and Waivers (Blind/Deaf Exemption, Hazelwood Exemption, Military Waiver, etc…) 

What payment options are available for paying tuition and fees? 

TAMUCC offers several payment options for paying Tuition and Fees. 

• Payment in Full 
• Installment Payment Plans 
• Emergency Tuition Loans (Short - Term Loan) 
• Financial Assistance (Grants, Scholarships and Loans) 

What type of payment methods does TAMU-CC Business Office accept online? 

TAMUCC accepts the following payment methods online through SAIL: 

• Check (personal checks ONLY) 
• Credit Cards (MasterCard, Discover and American Express) - There is a 2.3% service fee charge. 
• Visa branded credit cards are no longer accepted for payments made for tuition and fees.  
• International Payments - Flywire 

Does the Business Office accept credit cards? 

The Business Office accepts credit cards online ONLY through SAIL. The accepted credit cards are MasterCard, American Express and Discover. There is a service fee for paying with a credit card of 2.3%. There is no fee when paying online with a check. 

Why can't I use a credit card at the Business Office window if I am willing to pay the fee? 

The complicated regulations are such that to charge a service fee for credit card transactions at the Business Office would also necessitate the same charge for payments made by cash or check. 

Can I still use my Debit Card at the Business Office? 

The Business Office will still accept debit cards even if they have a credit card logo (MasterCard and Visa). The debit card must indicate that it is a debit card, and the card holder will need to enter in their pin code. 

Why doesn’t the Business Office accept VISA? 

The Business Office does not accept Visa credit cards because Visa requires the service fee to be posted separately and we do not have the ability to meet those requirements at this time. However, the Business Office does accept the Visa Debit Card in person, as well as the MasterCard Debit Card. Note: A pin code must be entered when using a debit card. 

What should I do if all I have is a Visa card? 

In addition to accepting MasterCard, American Express and Discover credit cards online which is subject to a service fee, students and parents will be able to make payments directly from any checking or savings account to avoid the service charge, simply by entering the bank/financial institution routing and account number information at the time of online payment. The university will also continue to accept check payments by mail and payments made by cash, check and debit card at the Business Office. The University also offers payment plans to allow for more flexible payment arrangements (see Installment Plans) and offers an emergency tuition loan. 

Why eliminate Visa branded credit cards? 

Unlike the other brands of cards, Visa requires the service fee to be posted separately and we do not have the ability to meet those requirements at this time.  

Can I use my Visa elsewhere on campus? 

You can make a deposit to your Sanddollar$ ID card using a credit (MasterCard/Visa/Discover) or debit card or use it at any contracted operation on campus. 

Does the university have the legal authority to institute this charge? 

Yes, the Texas Education Code (Section 54.5011) was amended to authorize institutions of higher education to charge persons making payment by credit card a service charge to cover the cost. 

Will I be able to tell when service fees are incurred in my online transactions? 

Yes. Student forms and SAIL will be updated to include information reflecting the credit and debit card service fee information. When you perform online credit or debit card transactions to register for a course, pay a residency fee, request a course extension or apply for graduation, you will see a separate line item for the service fee on your total charges prior to finalizing your payment. 

What is the University doing to keep my credit card numbers and information private?  

Payments made by credit card will not be accepted in the Business Office, in person or over the phone, for tuition and fees. This minimizes the risks associated with acceptance of your credit card numbers and information. All activity for student payments using credit cards and debits to their bank accounts will be processed on the secure WEB site for TAMUCC. Additionally, the provider of our WEB processing has the necessary security measures in place to protect your private financial information, as required by PCI standards, and it is not stored in any of our servers on campus. 

Will I be dropped from my classes if I do not make payment by the due date of the bill?

Student's who register for classes and do not pay for their classes may be dropped for non-payment (aka deregistration) if satisfactory payment arrangements with the Business Office have not been made on or before the due date. If satisfactory payment arrangements are not made, a $50 late payment fee will be assessed. If a student is dropped from their classes and they want to re-register, they will have to appeal to Office of the Registrar. If the appeal is granted, the student will be charged a $100 re-instatement fee and the late payment fee of $50.

I have been dropped for non-payment, how can I get re-enrolled?

When a student is dropped for Non-Payment and wants to be re-enrolled into that semester, they must submit an appeal to the Office of the Registrar. If the appeal is granted a $100 reinstatement fee will be assessed to the students account. A student who is reinstated is not guaranteed that the previous classes will still be available. If reinstatement is granted, payment of Tuition and Fees will be due immediately after reinstatement has been completed including the reinstatement fee and the registration late payment fee. Failure to pay or make payment arrangements with the Business Office will result in being dropped with no option for an appeal. Contact the Business Office for payment options at 361.825.2600 Option number 5.

What is the difference between a drop and withdrawal?

A DROP is when a student drops a course or courses, yet remains enrolled in the University in at least one course for the semester. A WITHDRAWAL is when a student has dropped all courses for the semester in which they were enrolled in.

How do I drop a course or withdraw from all classes?

A student can drop or withdraw from a course(s) before the first class day of the semester through their SAIL account. Please refer to the semester class schedule for the specific dates. Beginning first class day of the semester, a student must go to the Student Services Center in order to drop or withdraw from a course(s). For more information contact the Office of the Registrar at 361.825.2624 Option #2. 

If I drop a class will I receive a refund?

In order to receive a refund of tuition and fees, the student must drop the course(s) on or before a specific date. Please refer to the Important Dates - Refund Tuition & Fees and choose the semester to see the specific date and percentage amount. If you are receiving financial aid please check with the Office of Financial Assistance, at 361.825.2338 option #3, to verify how the dropping of the course(s) will affect eligibility of current and future aid. A student may be required to pay back a portion or all of the financial assistance received.

If I withdraw from the semester will I receive a refund?

To be eligible for a refund of the tuition and fees, when withdrawing from all classes, a student must have completed the withdrawal process on or before the specific dates. Please refer to the Important Dates - Refund Tuition & Fees and the semester to see the specific date and percentage amount. If you are receiving financial assistance please check with the Office of Financial Assistance, at 361.825.2338 option #3, to verify how withdrawing will affect eligibility of current and future aid. A student may be required to pay back a portion or all financial aid received.

If I withdraw and I have a Third Party Sponsor paying for my Tuition, how will withdrawing affect my account?

Some Third Party Sponsors will not pay a student’s tuition if a student withdraws from a semester. If a sponsor does not pay a student’s tuition, the Third Party Billing will be removed and the student will be required to pay. A student should check with their sponsor prior to withdrawing to see what the impact will be.

What is an Emergency Loan?

An Emergency Tuition Loan (ETL) is a short term loan from the Business Office that students may choose to aid in paying their tuition and fees. An ETL can be used to pay Tuition, Mandatory Fees, Course Specific Fees and Orientation Fees. The ETL is due within the same semester.  ETL’s are applied to the Business Office student’s account to pay towards eligible tuition and fees. If a student adds or deletes classes, the ETL will adjust accordingly. There is a $25 non-refundable processing fee for the loan. If the ETL is not paid in full by the due date a $25 late fee is assessed to the student’s account.

Emergency Book Loans are to aid students in the purchase of text books.  The maximum amount per term/semester is $600.  Once a student is approved for a book loan a file is sent to the Campus Store to be loaded into their system.  Students normally can purchase their books by 10 am the next business day after the Book Loan is approved.   A student may purchase their books online or in person from the Campus Store when utilizing an Emergency Book Loan.  The unused portion of the book loan will be applied back to the student's Business Office account after the census day has past.  This will reduce the balance owed, and if it creates a credit balance on the account, it will be refunded to the student.  There is a $25 non-refundable processing fee for the loan. 

Each loan that is not paid in full by the due date will be assessed a $25 late fee and a hold will be placed on the students account.  If financial aid is received prior to the due date of the loan(s) it will be applied to any balance prior to being refunded to the student, even if the due date has not yet past. 

Emergency Loans are not available for the Short Terms.

An Emergency Tuition Loan can be used to pay Tuition, Mandatory Fees, Course Specific Fees and Orientation Fees.

Emergency Loans are available before the payment due date for tuition. Refer to Important Dates - Emergency Loans and choose the term/semester to review the dates of availability.

To apply for an ETL, a student must have a Master Promissory Note (MPN) on file. This MPN can be obtained from the Business Office website, under Downloadable Forms. When the MPN is received by the Business Office, the student’s account will be updated allowing the ETL option to appear for the student to self-enroll via SAIL. This is done by going to the Bill/Payment Suite, clicking on Payment Plans, selecting the appropriate semester and choosing the Emergency Tuition Loan from the drop down menu. The student will navigate through the screens to enroll. At the time of enrollment, the student can setup their payment to automatically process on the due date. Payments that are not received in full on or before the due date will be assessed a $25 late fee.

To apply for an Emergency Book Loan a student must have a Master Promissory Note on file and must complete an Emergency Book Loan Application Form and turn it into the Business Office each semester. The forms can be found at the Business Office or online under Downloadable Forms.

Refer to Important Dates - Emergency Loans and choose the semester to see the due date. If a student has already enrolled for the Emergency Tuition Loan, the due date, including the balance, can also be found on SAIL in the Bill/Payment Suite under the Payment Plans Tab. Book Loans are not available for online sign-up but the due date is the same as the Tuition Loan. Emergency Loans that are not paid in full on or before the due date will be assessed a $25 late fee per loan and holds will be placed on the student accounts. If a student receives any type of financial assistance prior to the due date, it will be applied to the emergency loan even if it is not due at that time. The Business Office will not issue a refund unless there is a credit balance on the student's account.

A student is not eligible for an emergency loan if one or more of the following exists:

• • has a balanced owed from a prior term
  • has a balance of $65 or less for the current semester
  • is not in good standing with the University

I have added/dropped a class(es) and I signed up for an Emergency Tuition Loan. Will my Emergency Tuition Loan be automatically adjusted?

If a student has signed up for an Emergency Tuition Loan using the Bill/Payment Suite in SAIL and adds or drops classes, the emergency tuition loan will be recalculated and adjusted accordingly to the increase or in the case of a decrease in tuition and fees: the credit will be applied to the balance of the loan. The Bill/Payment Suite will send the student an email notification of the changes to the student’s University issued email address. Should a student not want the Emergency Tuition Loan to cover an added course, the student must contact the Business Office prior to the addition of the course, and the payment will be required immediately following the addition of the course(s).

If my financial aid is received in the Business Office before the due date of my Emergency Loan, am I required to pay the balance?

Once enrolled in an ETL, any payment type (ie; financial aid) that is applied to the student’s account will be applied to any ETL balance owed even if it is not due, unless it is in a future semester with a future due date. The Business Office will not issue a refund unless there is a credit balance on the student’s account.

How do I sign up for payment due date reminders for an Emergency Tuition Loan?

Students can sign up for payment due date reminders during their ETL enrollment process, by clicking on the Notification Button under my Profile Setup in the Bill/Payment Suite. The student may choose how many days prior to the due date an email payment due date reminder will be sent. Should the student select to schedule their payments during enrollment or thereafter, a “scheduled payment” reminder will be sent to the students’ University email address instead of a “payment due” reminder notice. Students may also opt to add a secondary email to received emails and/or opt in to receive notices by text.

How do I schedule my payment to process on the due date if I did not do it at the time I signed up for the Emergency Tuition Loan? 

At the time a student signs up for an Installment Plan, the student can set up for the payments to automatically process on the due date.  If the student did not set up scheduled payments at the time of sign-up it is not too late.  To set them up follow these steps in the Bill/Payment Suite:

1. From the Home Page, click on the pinwheel icon under Action located in the Payment Plans section.
2. Select Schedule.
3. Change the date to the date the ETL is due and follow the instructions for setting up the payment method. Once completed, the scheduled payment will show up in the Schedule Payment section.

 If a payment is scheduled to process after the payment due date, late fees will still be assessed to the student’s account.

What is an Exemption?

Is there Financial Aid available?

Please visit the Office of Financial Assistance website or contact them at 361.825.2338 Option #4 for financial aid eligibility requirements and/or application process.

 How do I pay my bill with my financial aid?

Grants, Loans and University Scholarships will post to a student's account approximately 10 days prior to the first day of the main session of the term, if the aid has been received by the University and the student has met all financial aid disbursement requirements. Once the aid posts to the student's account, any balance owed to the Business Office will be deducted. If the student's aid is greater than their balance due, the residual funds will be delivered to them via their refund preference selected selected with BankMobile Disbursements, a technology solution, powered by BMTX, Inc. Visit this link for more information: https://disbursements.bmtx.com/refundchoicessso/.

Each student is different. It will depend on when the student submits all financial aid documentation. The earliest that financial aid can be applied to the student’s Business Office account is 10 days prior to the main session of the semester. Once the Office of Financial Assistance begins applying financial aid to a student's Business Office account the refund process will begin for the semester. Refunds are processed twice a week. During peak period there may be additional refund runs. Please refer to Tentative Refund Schedule and choose the semester in question for the specific dates. A refund of financial aid does not begin until there is a credit balance on a student's account. For more information on your financial aid status contact the Office of Financial Assistance at 361.825.2338 option #4 or log on to SAIL.

To verify awards, award status, awards not appearing on a student's Business Office account, or other questions concerning the financial aid process, log into SAIL and view your Financial Aid Status. Contact the Office of Financial Assistance if you need further assistance at 361.825.2338 Option #4.

If a student's financial aid is enough to cover the account in full and all financial aid required documentation and process are complete then the Business Office can wait until the student's aid is applied to their account and the student will not have to make a personal payment by the deadline for the semester. If the financial aid is not enough to cover the account in full then the student must pay the difference by the due date to avoid late fees and/or deregistration of classes. Should all financial aid documentation and processes not be completed, the student will be required to a make payment in full by the due date to avoid late fees and/or deregistration of classes. The Business Office does have payment options (Installment Plans and Emergency Tuition Loans) if the student is unable to pay the balance in full by the due date.

A private scholarship is not counted as a payment toward a student's account until the check has been received by the Business Office and posted to your tuition and fees account. If a private scholarship has not been received by the deadline for payment the student is responsible for making the payment. Failure to make payment may result in late fees being assessed and/or deregistration for non-payment. However, as soon as a student knows about a private scholarship they need to notify financial assistance so that the estimated scholarship can be posted on their financial aid award. Private scholarships must be counted in a student’s financial aid award. Once the scholarship has been received, the estimated amount will be changed to actual and then sent to the Business Office to be applied to the student’s account. For more information on how a private scholarship may affect a student’s award contact the Office of Financial Assistance at 361.825.2338 Option #4.

Financial aid can be reduced for several reasons and can result in a balance due. A student must contact the Office of Financial Assistance at 361.825.2338 Option #4 for detailed information on why it was reduced. Some examples of why financial aid may be reduced; withdrawing from the semester, dropping classes, receiving an exemption or waiver, receiving of a private scholarship, etc…

Can I use my financial aid to purchase my books?

Yes, a student can use their excess financial aid to charge books at the Campus Store  up to $750, provided that all financial aid required documentation and processes have been completed, and the student is enrolled.  Excess financial aid is any aid remaining after tuition, fees, housing, and any required meal plan (students residing in on-campus housing) have been paid.    

When can I begin charging my books to my financial aid?

Students can determine when they may begin charging their books to their financial aid by visiting the Important Dates page which indicates the beginning and end dates for specific terms.  Students purchasing books through the Campus Store online may select “Financial Aid” as their method of payment.  Once the Campus Store begins to fulfill orders, they will validate that the student has been approved for aid.  If the student has not been approved, the Campus Store will contact the student for an alternative payment method.

When is the last day that I can charge books to my financial aid?

Once the financial aid office begins applying aid to the student’s Business Office account, excess financial aid is processed for refund to the student.  Once the refund process begins, the charging of books is no longer allowed, as the student will be receiving their excess aid through the refund method they selected.  The last day to charge is typically one business day prior to financial aid being disbursed to the Business Office.  Students who attended freshman orientation for the term and are borrowing a Stafford Loan for the first time will have an extension on the last date to charge as their Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford loan will not be disbursed until 30 days into the semester.  Please see Important Dates for the beginning and end dates for specific terms.

How can I charge my books to my financial aid?

A student can charge their books to their financial aid either in person or online at the Campus Store.  In person customers must remember to take a photo ID in order to complete their purchase.  When purchasing books online, please select “Financial Aid” as the method of payment.   

How does the Campus Store know that I can charge my books to my financial aid?

Once Campus Store billing for the semester has begun, the Bursar’s Office will notify the Campus Store of the students that qualify.  The Campus Store is notified daily of changes in eligibility.

How is it determined that a student is eligible for billing their books to their financial aid?

Eligibility is determined based on authorized financial aid less charges on the student’s Business Office account.  Authorized financial aid must be greater than charges on the student’s account.  If excess financial aid is less than $750 then only amount available is submitted to the Campus Store.

Do I need to submit an application or request to be able to charge my books to my financial aid?

No, the Campus Store is notified of all students who are eligible to charge their books to their financial aid.

Will I see the Campus Store charges on my student account?

Yes.  The Campus Store submits any charges or credits to be applied to the student’s account on a daily basis.

I am returning a book that was charged to my financial aid.  How will I receive the credit?

When returning a book that was charged to financial aid at the beginning of the semester that was billed to financial aid, a credit will be submitted to the student’s Business Office account.  If a book is returned at the end of the semester during book buy back the credit is given to the student.

There is a $20 non-refundable processing fee. Should a student receive any type of financial assistance prior to the due dates, it will be applied to future installments.

If a student has signed up for an Installment Plan and then added or dropped classes, the Installment Payments will be recalculated and adjusted accordingly. The Bill/Payment Suite will send the student an email notification of the changes to their University issued email address.

Why did my payment amount(s) change on my Installment Plan?

When a student changes their class schedule (drop, add or withdrawal) the payments will be adjusted accordingly based on the new amount of the allowable charges (Tuition and Fees). Also, if a payment made with financial aid is reduced or removed, due to eligibility requirements, the amounts may be affected. Adjustments to exemptions, waivers and 3rd party billings will also affect the amounts.

How do Exemptions, Waivers and Third Party Contract billings calculate in the Installment Payment Plan?

Installment Payments are calculated based on what is owed after an exemption, waiver or third party billing is applied to the student's account.

I have withdrawn from TAMUCC and I am on an Installment Payment Plan. How will it be affected?

A student that withdraws from the university and has signed up for an installment payment plan is still required to make their payments on the due dates. If a student withdraws during a period in which there is a refund percentage, the amount will be credited back to the student's Business Office account. The student's Installment Plan will be adjusted accordingly and the student is still responsible for making payments on the due dates. The payments will be adjusted within 24 to 48 hours if any credit is available based on the percentage of refund of Tuition & Fees. To see if a withdrawal is eligible for a refund of Tuition & Fees go to Important Dates - Refund Tuition & Fees

How do I sign up for payment reminders for the Installment Plan?

A student can sign up for payment reminders for an Installment Plan by logging into the Bill/Payment Suite and clicking on Notifications under my profile setup. If a student has signed up for the payment(s) to automatically be processed on the due    date(s), then a payment reminder will not be sent, a schedule payment reminder will be sent instead.

How do I schedule my payments to process on the due dates if I did not do it at the time I signed up for the Installment Plan?

At the time a student signs up for an Installment Plan, the student can set up for the payments to automatically process on the due dates. If the student did not set-up scheduled payments it is not too late. To set them up follow these steps in the Bill/Payment Suite:

Failure to pay a balance owed to the University may result in one or more of the following actions:

• • Cancellation of Classes (current and/or future terms)
  • Assessment of Late Fees
  • University Hold on registration for future terms and/or release of transcripts or diplomas
  • Hold placed with the State Comptroller's Office
  • Assignment to a Collection Agency, which will increase the balance owed by up to 30%.

What are my options I am unable to pay a debt owed to the Business Office (Example Emergency Loan, Installment Plan, Parking Fines, etc…)

Should a student be unable to pay a past due balance that is owed to the Business Office, they can contact the Accounts Receivable Office in the Student Services Center to see if they are eligible to set up a payment plan. Setting up a payment plan will keep a student’s account from going to a collection agency as long as the payments are made on time, but it will not release any holds on the student's account. If the student is eligible to set up payment arrangements, they will be required to sign a promissory note and make the first payment at that time. Only the student can set up a payment plan. Failure to comply with payment arrangements will void the agreement resulting in the account being sent to a Collection Agency. Accounts that have already been assigned to a Collection Agency are not eligible to make payments to the University. Payment arrangements must be set up with the Collection Agency. 

 Can I register for classes while owing a balance?

No, a student must pay all balances prior to registration. For more information see, How do I get a hold released on my account, in the Business Office holds FAQ section.

Can I use future term financial aid to pay a previous term balance?

Federal regulations that govern Title IV funds (Pell, ACG, SEOG, Stafford Loans and Parent Loans), restrict the use of financial aid that is specified for a specific term to be applied to a term that is not within the same financial aid year, unless it is less than $200. If a student is awarded non-title IV financial aid funds (TPEG, Texas Grant, University Scholarship or Grant) they must contact the Bursar’s Office at 361.825.3065 to discuss their account to see if it is feasible. 

Can I graduate if I owe a balance?

A student who is graduating and owes the Business Office will still be able to graduate and attend the graduation ceremony. However the student will not be able to receive their diploma until the account is paid in full with guaranteed funds.

Who do I contact if I am graduating and I cannot pay my balance?

If a student is graduating and cannot pay their balance in full prior to graduation they can contact the Accounts Receivable Office at 361.825.3914 to discuss if any payment options are available.

What is a 3-Peat Fee?

The State of Texas will not provide funds to state institutions of higher education for semester credit hours related to a course in which a student is enrolled for the third or more time. Therefore, as permitted by state law, the University will charge additional fees to a student who registers for a course for the third time or more. The fee will be $100 per semester credit hour for such courses. The courses counted toward the limitation include all hours attempted by the student except: Thesis, Dissertation, Individual Music Lessons, Theater Practicum, Music Performance, Ensembles, Studio Art, certain P.E. and Kinesiology courses, Independent Study (topic changes), Special Topics (topic changes), and Developmental Education (not to exceed 18 semester credit hours).

What is Excessive Hours Tuition?

The State of Texas will not provide funds to state institutions of higher education for excess semester credit hours earned by a resident undergraduate student. Therefore, as permitted by state law, the University will charge additional tuition to students who exceed the semester credit hour limit for their programs. The tuition rate will not exceed the rate charged to nonresident undergraduate students. Excess semester credit hours are those which accrue after the student exceeds by 30 hours the number of semester credit hours required for the completion of the degree program in which the student is enrolled. Thus, the student may accumulate up to 30 hours beyond those required for the chosen degree program and not exceed the limitation. The limitation on excess credit hours applies only to those undergraduate students who first enter higher education in Fall 1999 or later.

Are there any hours that are not counted toward the limitation of hours for Excessive Hours Tuition?

The semester credit hours counted toward the limitation includes all hours attempted by the student except:

• Semester credit hours earned by the student before receiving a baccalaureate degree that previously has been awarded to the student
• Semester credit hours earned by the student by examination or under any other procedure by which credit is earned without registering for the course for which tuition is charged
• Credit for a remedial education course, a technical course, a workforce education course funded according to contact hours, or another course that does not count toward a degree program at the institution, and
• Semester credit hours earned by the student at a private institution or an out-of-state institution.

How much is the Excessive Hour Tuition?

The excessive hour tuition rate is based on the difference between non-resident and resident undergraduate tuition. Each year the hourly rate may change. Please go to the Business Office website for the current rate.

What is a Tuition Rebate? 

Certain undergraduate students who attempt not more than three hours in excess of the minimum number of semester credit hours required to complete the degree in the catalog under which they will graduate may be entitled to a $1,000 rebate if they meet the criteria.
