The Employee Betterment Program (EBP) is a tuition assistance program at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi that encourages University faculty and staff to further their education. The EBP provides budgeted, regular employees with funds to cover a portion of the A&M-Corpus Christi tuition costs for 12 credit hours per fiscal year. Please take note that students employed in positions which require student status as a condition of employment are not eligible.

For more information on the Employee Betterment Program at our University, contact Human Resources.

Exemptions are a type of financial assistance that allow some students to attend a public college or university in Texas without paying tuition or, in some cases, tuition and fees.

If you are eligible for any fee exemptions or adjustments, you must notify the office noted on our Exemptions list (below) prior to payment of tuition and fees before they can be applied to your account.

Installment payment plans are available to most students through the Business Office during the Fall and Spring semesters, and allow students the opportunity to pay their tuition in small installments.

The Business Office offers eligible students two options to pay by installments:

3-Payment Plan

• 30% of total amount owed due prior to the start of the semester
• Two (2) more payments during the semester of 35% of total amount owed

4-Payment Plan

• 25% of total amount owed due prior to the start of the semester
• Three (3) more payments during the semester of 25% of total amount owed.

NOTE: A nonrefundable processing fee of $20.00 will be charged and a late fee of $25.00 will be added to each installment not received by their required due date.

An Emergency Tuition Loan (ETL) is a short term loan from the Business Office that students may choose to aid in paying their tuition and fees. An ETL can be used to pay Tuition, Mandatory Fees, Course Specific Fees and Orientation Fees. The ETL is due within the same semester.  ETL’s are applied to the Business Office student’s account to pay towards eligible tuition and fees. If a student adds or deletes classes, the ETL will adjust accordingly. There is a $25 non-refundable processing fee for the loan. If the ETL is not paid in full by the due date a $25 late fee is assessed to the student’s account.

To apply for an ETL, a student must have a Master Promissory Note (MPN) on file. This MPN can be obtained from the Business Office website.. When the MPN is received by the Business Office, the student’s account will be updated allowing the ETL option to appear for the student to self-enroll via SAIL. This is done by going to the Bill/Payment Suite, clicking on Payment Plans, selecting the appropriate semester and choosing the Emergency Tuition Loan from the drop down menu. The student will navigate through the screens to enroll. At the time of enrollment, the student can setup their payment to automatically process on the due date. Payments that are not received in full on or before the due date will be assessed a $25 late fee.
