Institutional Payment Plans
The State of Texas under Sec. 54.007 of the Education Code requires each institution of higher education to provide payment plans for Tuition and Fees. An eligible student may elect one of two payment assistance options during the term of registration:
- Institutional Payment Plans (IPP): The IPP is available to any student unable to pay the full amount or partial amount due by the university due dates. (Note: This is not available for summer sessions.) The application is now available online at ASSIST under the UTRGV My Finance Tab, Payment Plan Links.
The IPP consists of four installments; the first one due by the initial due date and three subsequent payments due on the first day of each month after the semester has started. The IPP is available only during the fall/spring semesters. A $30 (non-refundable) processing fee is applied along with the first installment. Any credits to the account before enrolling for the IPP (financial aid, etc.) will be applied to any unpaid balances. Any credits after enrolling for the IPP are applied towards the installments. If any additional charges are added to the student account after the initial installment, this will be split evenly between installments. A $30 late fee is assessed if any payment is not received after three consecutive days (including the weekend) from the due date.
To qualify for an Institutional Payment Plan, the student:
- Must be registered for classes.
- Must be 18 years or older. If you are a minor, please contact the Bursar’s Office to complete a manual student IPP agreement form. A parent or guardian must be present to sign.
- Must not have prior term balances, including outstanding emergency loan balances.
- Must not have an active Emergency Loan for the same term requesting the IPP.
