I may choose to pay and/or use financial aid to pay my balance in FULL on or before the payment due date.

• I understand that any change in my class schedule may affect my charges.
• If I add a class or change classes after I have already received a refund, I may need to pay any additional charges incurred from my own funds.

Payment plan(s) - FALL, SPRING and SUMMER SEMESTERS ONLY (excluding mini intersession terms) – I may choose to pay my balance utilizing an Installment Payment Option by the payment deadline. TAMUK offers Installment Plans that cover the cost of all outstanding Educational Debt.

• I understand that I can enroll for this option online through MoneyConnect. Plans will require a percentage amount for down payment and a designated amount for a setup fee which must be paid at the time of enrollment into the plan.
• I also agree to pay the non–refundable payment plan setup fee. This fee will not be calculated into my installment payments.
• I will pay the remaining installment payments on or before the due date specified for each installment.
• I understand that a late fee will be assessed for each installment payment that is not paid by the installment date. The late fee amount will vary depending on the plan selected.
• I understand that INSTALLMENT AMOUNTS MAY CHANGE over time to account for any new charges, payments, or financial aid adjustments.
• If I add a class, the Installment Payment Plan will be recalculated within 24 hours of the addition of hours and an email will be sent to your University email address, which must be regularly checked as described below, to notify you of the changes. I can also contact the Student Business Services Office to have them manually recalculate the amount due immediately after the addition in hours is completed.

THIRD PARTY BILLING - I understand that it is my responsibility to submit to the Student Business Services Office in Memorial Student Union Building (MSUB) Blue and Gold Central RM 132 (ph: 361–593– 2616) 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 if I drop or add classes, I need to notify the Student Business Services Office of these changes. I understand that the University will apply the letter of credit to my Educational Debt based on the terms of the letter of credit and that the University will bill the third party after the last day to withdraw from a semester and receive a refund only if applicable. I further understand that I am responsible for any portion of my Educational Debt that are not paid by the third party and any remaining balance is subject to the same payment deadlines and options as stated in PAYMENT OPTIONS 1 and 2 above. I understand that receipt of third-party benefits may affect my financial aid award and could result in an adjustment of the award.

I further understand that my student account and any Educational Debt charged thereto is considered by TAMUK, an institution of higher education, 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.

I understand and accept that if I fail to pay my student account bill or any monies due and owing Texas A&M University Kingsville by the scheduled due date, (last class day of specified term, refer to Academic Calendar), Texas A&M University Kingsville may refer my delinquent student account to a collection agency. I understand and accept that upon the last class day of the specified term, my delinquent student account will be updated to a pre-collect status and remain at the collection agency for up to 45 days, while the agency works with the me to repay the outstanding debt. At this time, there will be no negative impact to my credit or credit report. If I have not paid the outstanding balance in full within the designated 45 days, I understand that my student account will be moved to a collection status and the agency will begin collection attempts. I further understand that I am responsible for paying the collection agency fee which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of thirty percent (30%) of my delinquent student account, together with all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, necessary for the collection of my delinquent student account. Finally, I understand that my delinquent student account may be reported to one or more of the national credit bureaus. I also understand that failure to meet the terms of this agreement may entitle Texas A&M University Kingsville to (1) refuse subsequent registration for any classes and/or drop current classes, (2) withhold grades, diplomas, or transcripts from being released and 3) issue a State Hold (alert) to the Texas State Comptroller's Office until the unpaid balance and other collection fees are paid in full. I understand that by signing this Statement of Financial Responsibility, I authorize Texas A&M University Kingsville and its agents and contractors to contact me at my current and any future cellular phone number(s), email address(es) or wireless device(s) regarding my delinquent student account(s)/loan(s), any other debt I owe to Texas A&M University Kingsville, or to receive general information from the University. I authorize the University and its agents and contractors to use automated telephone dialing equipment, artificial or pre-recorded voice or text messages, and personal calls and emails, in their efforts to contact me. Furthermore, I understand that I may withdraw my consent to call my cellular phone by submitting my request in writing to Student Business Services Office or in writing to the applicable contractor or agent contacting me on behalf of Texas A&M University Kingsville.
