Payment by Installment

Section 54.007 of the Texas Education Code provides for payment by installment of tuition and mandatory fees in the fall and spring semesters. Students electing to use the installment plan must be enrolled for a minimum of one class and must apply on ASSIST online at my.utrgv.edu.

Eligible students have the following Installment payment option during fall and spring registration:

  • One-fourth payment on the first tuition due date.
  • One-fourth payment on the first business day of the month after the fifth class week.
  • One-fourth payment on the first business day of the month after the tenth class week.
  • The final one-fourth payment on the first business day of the month before the last class day.

Once the Installment Payment option has been selected, it may not be changed; however, advance payments will be accepted.

Students electing to sign up for an Installment Plan must sign/acknowledge a promissory note via ASSIST. A non-refundable Tuition Installment Incidental Charge of $30 will be collected to defray the cost to the university of providing this delayed payment service.

The second and any subsequent installment must be made before the class week indicated above. Late installments will be accepted during the first three class days of the class week indicated above, but a non-refundable late payment charge of $5 will be assessed in addition to the installment amount.

After the first three class days of the class week indicated above, late installments will still be accepted, but a non-refundable reinstatement fee of $25 will be assessed in addition to the installment amount.

A student who fails to provide full payment of tuition and fees, including assessed late fees, to the university when the payments are due is subject to one or more of the following actions at the university’s option:

  • Being withdrawn from the university.
  • Being barred from readmission to the institution.
  • The withholding of the student’s grades, degree, and official transcript.
  • All penalties and actions authorized by law.
