Student Fees

All students also pay these fees each semester:

  • General Services Fee - $10 per credit hour
  • Facilities Fee - $6 per credit hour
  • Lab and Special Course Fees - vary by class. See the Lab & Special Course Fee list.

Can I Get a Refund?

If you drop a class or withdraw, you may get some or all of your tuition back — but only if you act before the deadline. The sooner you drop, the more money you get back.

A few things to know about refunds:

  • Deadlines are based on calendar days from the first day of class — not how many classes you attended.
  • For refund rules on courses of all lengths, see  or call the Business Office at 254-299-8627.
  • If a scholarship, sponsor, or donor paid your tuition, any refund goes back to them — not to you.
  • Required fees (General Services, Facilities, Lab) may be refunded. Optional fees are not.

Payment Agreement

Before you register each semester, you'll need to agree to À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ's payment terms in MyÀ¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ. This will pop up automatically before you pick your classes. If you sign up for a payment plan, different terms apply — check your agreement for details.
