Payment Options

Student’s Tuition and Fees bill must be paid in full by the published payment deadline for each semester. There are several ways students can pay this bill, the biggest one being through financial aid.

Financial Aid

Financial aid will automatically be applied to a student’s tuition and fees. Students must have applied, accepted financial aid and satisfy any missing requirements in order for aid to disburse. Any additional money a student receives from their financial aid after it’s been applied to their bill, will be issued as a refund.

UTSA Bold Promise

UTSA Bold Promise is our commitment to offer high-quality, affordable education to incoming freshmen who come from middle – and low-income Texan families.

Students who qualify will have their tuition and fees covered 100% for eight fall/spring semesters taken within a 4-year time period (approx. $40,000 value), as long as eligibility is maintained. Costs are covered by scholarships, grants or tuition exemptions from federal, state and/or institutional funds. Visit Bold Promise for more information.

Installment Plans and Payment Extensions

If you have an outstanding balance for your tuition and fees, you could consider an installment plan or a payment extension called a Tuition and Fee Loan.The Installment Plan allows students to pay their balance in 3 payments. The first installment is due on the tuition and fee deadline and requires 30% of the balance to be paid. There is a $16 fee for this. The next two installments will be due later in the semester. Installment plans for tuition and fees are only available for fall and spring semester. Find out more about installment plans. You may also choose to extend your tuition and fee deadline to the end of the semester by selecting a Tuition and Fee Loan. No money is required on the up front if this option is selected, and a 5% interest fee is charged for this option. Find out more about the Tuition and Fee Loan.

Texas Tomorrow Fund

If you invested in the Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan (TGTP), formally known as Texas Tomorrow Fund, and wish to use this to pay for your tuition and fees, this is done through Fiscal Service’s Third Party Billing. To begin, download the one-time enrollment form and email the completed form along with a copy of your myUTSA ID card and TGTP card, or any official TGTP document listing your contract number to thirdparty@utsa.edu for processing. For more information, please visit the Fiscal Services payment policy webpage or email thirdparty@utsa.edu.

3rd Party Payments

If your place of employment or another outside agency will be paying your tuition and fees, you must notify Fiscal Service’s Third Party Billing at thirdparty@utsa.edu in order for pre-payments to be applied. Please note that these do count as financial aid and you must disclose the amount that you plan to receive. You can do this by submitting an External Resource Form for the appropriate aid year. If you do not disclose this information and aid has already been offered or disbursed, there may be adjustments to your financial aid to include these amounts.

Tuition Exemptions and Waivers

Exemptions are a type of financial assistance allowing some Texas residents to attend a public college or university in Texas without paying tuition or in some cases tuition and fees. Please review the College for All Texans website for a full list of exemption programs available. Note that these exemptions do count as financial aid and you must disclose the amount that you plan to receive. You can do this by submitting an External Resource Form for the appropriate aid year. If you do not disclose this information and aid has already been offered or disbursed, there may be adjustments to your financial aid to include these amounts.
