During the fall and spring semesters, tuition/fees and housing may be paid in full or through installments. A $100 down payment is due at sign-up along with the $35 installment fee.  Remaining charges (tuition/fees, housing, and meal plan) are then divided into four equal payments due through the semester.  Please refer to the Critical Dates page for payment due dates in any given semester.  A $25 late fee is assessed on past due balances after each payment date.

When you elect to pay your tuition in installments, you agree to the terms and conditions of East Texas A&M University Policy Number II S I, Tuition and Fees Installment Payment Plan which states in Paragraph c:

A student who fails to make full payment of tuition and fees including any incidental fees by the due date may be prohibited from registering for classes until full payment is made.  A student who fails to make their payment prior to the end of the semester may be denied credit for the work done that semester.

Students can sign up for the installment payment option online through LeoPay. A student selecting the installment payment plan will be charged a $35 installment fee. Please be aware that changes in class schedules or changes in housing/meal plans may affect payment amounts. 

The installment payment plan is not available during summer and mini terms. Each summer and mini semester is assessed separately with different payment deadlines. Tuition/fees for summer and mini-terms must be paid in full prior to the start of each semester.
