^{INSTALLMENT PAYMENT PLANS}

During the fall and spring semesters, tuition/fees and housing may be paid in full or in three installments. The first installment payment is equal to one-half of all charges (tuition/fees, housing, and meal plan) and is due in advance of the beginning of the semester. The second installment payment is equal to one-quarter of total assessed tuition/fees and housing and is due prior to the start of the sixth class week. The final one-quarter payment is due prior to the beginning of the eleventh class week. A $20 late fee is assessed on past due balances after each payment date. Payment of less than 100 percent of assessed tuition/fees and housing by the first payment date constitutes acceptance of the the installment plan agreement.

When you elect to pay your tuition in installments, you agree to the terms and conditions of Texas A&M University-Commerce Policy Number II S I, Tuition and Fees Installment Payment Plan which states in Paragraph c:

A STUDENT WHO FAILS TO MAKE FULL PAYMENT OF TUITION AND FEES, INCLUDING ANY INCIDENTAL FEES, BY THE DUE DATE MAY BE PROHIBITED FROM REGISTERING FOR CLASSES UNTIL FULL PAYMENT IS MADE. A STUDENT WHO FAILS TO MAKE PAYMENT PRIOR TO THE END OF THE SEMESTER MAY BE DENIED CREDIT FOR THE WORK DONE THAT SEMESTER.

Students can sign up for the installment payment option through LeoPay.   A student selecting the installment payment plan will be charged a $17 installment fee.  Students adding classes after an initial payment must maintain at least one-half payment of tuition/fees for fall and spring semesters. Students will be dropped from the last class(es) added after an initial payment, if one-half payment of assessed tuition/fees is not maintained.

The installment payment plan is not available during summer and mini terms. Each summer and mini semester is assessed separately with different payment deadlines.  Summer tuition/fees must be paid in full.
