^{TUITION AND EMERGENCY LOANS}

The University's Institutional Loan program offers two types of short term loans--tuition loans and emergency loans. 

Tuition loans pay the full amount of tuition/fees only and cannot be used to pay housing or other university charges (including UPD traffic tickets).  Students do not receive a check with this loan - a credit is made to offset tuition/fee charges.  Tuition loans can cover course fees as well, but not late registration fees.  Applications for  Tuition Loans must be  submitted by 12th class day for Fall/Spring terms and 4th class day for Summer terms.

Emergency loan proceeds are in the form of a check to the student and are intended to pay educational expenses (books, supplies, etc).  Loans are currently limited to a maximum of $400 but exceptions to that amount may be granted on a case-by-case basis in situations of pressing financial need (support documentation may be required).  Generally emergency loan checks are available the day following application (usually after 3 PM); however, during high volume periods such as the start of a semester, it may take 2-3 working days.  Checks can be picked up in the Bursar's Office or they can be mailed upon request.   Emergency loan checks cannot be distributed before the first class day.

Eligibility for short-term loans:
  1.  Must be enrolled in the given term
  2.  Must be in good standing with the University
  3.  2.0 GPA (undergraduate) or a 3.0 GPA (graduate) at TAMU-C only
  4.  Limited to one emergency loan or one bookcredit per semester.

Submission of an application does not guarantee approval.  Loan funds are limited and we may not be able to accommodate all applicants even if eligibility requirements are met.  Students are limited to one emergency loan or one bookcredit per semester.  Exceptions to eligibility guidelines or loan procedures will be made strictly at the discretion of the University.  The Loan Office reserves the right to deny loan approval to any student based on past payment performance or other factors that negatively impact credit risk.  Contact the Loan Office at 903-886-5051 for more information or refer to information on the main Student Accounts webpage for current updates.
