semester.

PAYMENT OPTION AGREEMENT
|
I [name
of student], hereby agree to pay the balance of my tuition
and fees by one of the two options stated in this agreement. I
understand that the Installment Payment Option is offered for the
FALL and SPRING semesters ONLY.
I
further understand that there is NO Installment Payment Option
for the MayMester and Summer sessions. Full payment for these
sessions is required for all registered classes and any schedule
changes prior to the last day of late registration.
OPTION 1. I may choose to pay/and or use financial aid to pay my
balance in FULL prior to the first day of classes.
-
I understand
that any change in my class schedule may affect my charges.
-
If I add a
class, I will pay/and or use financial aid to pay the FULL
amount due for the added class on or prior to the last day of
late registration as stated in the academic calendar.
-
Failure to pay
in full will constitute acceptance of the Installment Payment
Option.
OPTION 2. FALL AND SPRING SEMESTERS ONLY - I may choose to
pay my balance on the Installment Payment Option. By doing so I
agree:
-
To pay and/or
use my financial aid award to cover a minimum of
25% of my balance by the payment deadline before classes begin.
-
I will pay the
remaining balance in 3 installment
payments on or before the due date specified for each
installment.
-
If I add a
class, I must pay for the added classes in full, or contact the
Bursar's Office to determine and pay the minimum amount due and
that payment must be made on or before the last day of late
registration as stated in the academic calendar.
-
I
understand that INSTALLMENT AMOUNTS MAY CHANGE over time to
account for any new charges, payments, or financial aid
adjustments.
-
I
also agree to pay the payment plan setup fee of $15.00 and that
it will be calculated in my initial payment.
-
I
understand that a $15.00 late fee will be assessed for each
installment payment that is late.
-
I understand
that I must enroll for this option online through
Portal>WebAdvisor>Pay Online and
that the entire down payment must be made prior to or at the
time of enrollment in the plan.
-
I acknowledge
that by signing this agreement, Texas Woman's University, has
the right to enroll me in the Installment Payment Option should
I make the minimum required payment but fail to complete the
online enrollment process through
Portal>WebAdvisor>Pay Online.
THIRD PARTY BILLING I
understand that it is my responsibility to submit to the Bursar's
office any third party letter of credit or payment agreement at
least one week prior to the beginning of classes for a term. I
understand that the University will apply to my charges advance
credit based on the terms of the letter/agreement and that the
University will bill the third party after the last day to withdraw
from a semester and receive a refund. I further understand
that I am responsible for any portion of charges that are not paid
by the third party and that the balance must be satisfied before I
will be allowed to register for future semesters or receive official
university documents. I understand that receipt of third party
benefits may affect my financial aid award and could result in an
adjustment of the award. |
|
I also
understand that failure to meet the terms of this agreement may
entitle Texas Woman's University to (1) refuse subsequent
registration for any classes and/or drop current classes, (2)
withhold grades, diplomas, or transcripts from being released until
the unpaid balance and other collection costs are paid in full.
I understand that the University will turn over for collection any
delinquent balance and that an additional 30% will be added to
the balance for collection charges.
I further understand that my student account is considered by TWU, a
non-profit institution of higher learning, to be an educational loan
made to me to assist in the financing of my education, and therefore
is not dischargeable under the United States Bankruptcy code.
