Tuition, Fees and Other Financial Information
General Information
The expenses for each semester will vary according to the
personal needs of the student and the course of study pursued. The
tuition rate differs according to which of the three following
categories a student qualifies: resident of Texas, non-resident of
Texas, or pursuing a license-option curriculum.
The tuition and fee amounts provided in this catalog represent
the most accurate figures available at the time of publication and
are subject to change due to economic conditions, legislative
requirements, or actions of the Texas A&M University System Board of
Regents.
Payments
Students must meet all financial obligations to the University by
their due dates to avoid late penalties. Failure to pay amounts owed
may result in cancellation of the student’s registration and their
being barred from future enrollment and receiving official
transcripts. State law requires that tuition and fees be paid prior
to the first day of classes. Students may choose to pay fees in
installments which is explained below.
Payments to Financial Management Services may be in the form of
cash, cashier’s check, personal check, or money order payable to
Texas A&M University at Galveston (or TAMUG). All checks and money
orders are accepted subject to final payment. Discover, Mastercard
and American Express credit cards and E-checks are accepted for
tuition and fee payments over the web at http://epay-tamug.tamu.edu
or http://myrecord.tamu.edu.
No tuition and fee statements will be mailed. Notices of amounts
owed should be obtained through http://epay-tamug.tamu.edu or
http://myrecord.tamu.edu. An e-mail will be sent to a
student’s official campus e-mail address through NEO e-mail when the
tuition and fee statement is available to view on line. Students
must use their NEO e-mail Net ID and password to log into these two
programs.
Students who plan to pay their bill in full by the due date will
receive notification through their NEO e-mail that the fee statement
is available to view on-line and when tuition is due and payable.
Students on the installment plan will receive notification
through their NEO e-mail account that the fee statement is available
to view on line and when each installment payment is due and
payable. In addition, students will be notified through this medium
when any changes have occurred to their tuition and fee statement
and if and when they have a refund check available.
Installment Plan
Tuition, most fees, room, board, and parking may be paid in three
installments with one-half payable prior to the first day of classes
and the remainder payable in two equal payments during the fall or
spring semester. A $15 service charge will be assessed each student
who chooses to use the installment plan. Students who wish to pay
fees in installments must select the installment plan option during
registration.
Students who have paid at least 50%, but not 100% of tuition and
fees, will be given the option to choose the installment plan by the
end of the second class day in the fall and spring terms.
Tuition and Fees: Texas Residents (undergraduate and graduate
students)
Texas residents, except those in license-option curricula, pay $50
per semester credit hour for tuition, plus additional University
Authorized Tuition (currently $106 per semester credit hour) and
fees. The schedule listed below is for all Texas resident students
except those in license-option curricula or graduate programs.
Graduate students pay an additional $50 per credit hour ($750 total
for 15 hours). This is based on a student registered for 15 credit
hours during the regular school year and 6 credit hours during a
summer term.

*Includes state and city tax of 8.25%.
** Other expenses may include uniforms with an initial outlay of
$1,440, special training and incidentals.
Students who are dismissed or withdraw from a license-option
curriculum after the semester begins will have fees adjusted to the
appropriate resident or nonresident rate retroactive to the
beginning of the semester.
License-option students who are granted a leave of absence for the
summer and who enroll in the onshore summer program at the Mitchell
Campus instead of the summer training cruise will pay license-option
fees as appropriate for that period. License-option students must
complete all three cruises within four summers. Under special
circumstances, non-license option students may be granted permission
to participate in the Corps of Cadets. Non-license option students
in the Corps of Cadets are not eligible for the special
license-option tuition and will pay normal resident or nonresident
fees as applicable.
Tuition and Fees: Nonresident Students (undergraduate and graduate
students)
Nonresident students, except those pursuing a license option
curriculum, pay $328 per semester credit hour plus additional
University Authorized Tuition (currently $106 per semester credit
hour) and fees. Graduate students pay an additional $50 per credit
hour ($750 total for 15 hours). The fees listed below are based on a
student registered for 15 credit hours during the regular school
year and 6 credit hours during a summer term.

Late
Fees and Penalties
Penalties include:
-
$20 late
payment penalty for failure to make payment on the scheduled due
date.
-
$100 late
registration/re-registration penalty for
registration/re-registration between the 1st and 12th class days.
-
$200 late
registration penalty for registration after the census day (12th
class day).
-
$50 late
class-add penalty for adding a course after the census day (12th
class day) when a net result of the change is an increase in the
number of credit hours.
-
$50
reinstatement fee.
These penalties will apply to all students, including those who are
dropped for nonpayment and are required to reregister for classes.
Please refer to Payment Due Date table published in the online Class
Schedule.
Student Financial Responsibility
Students are responsible for the balance in their accounts. Late
payments and delinquent balances (tuition and fees, installments,
student loans, returned checks) remaining at the end of the semester
will cause a student to be blocked from registering for the next
semester or from obtaining a transcript.
Students Dropped for Non-Payment: Fall and Spring Terms
Students that have not paid their tuition and fees in full or have
not paid their first installment payment by the due date will be
“administratively dropped” from their classes on the Friday before
the first day of classes each semester. Students may still attend
classes after they have been administratively dropped, but a $100
Late Registration Fee will be assessed and students must make the
required payment for their classes to be restored. Students that
have not paid their tuition and fees in full or have not paid their
first installment payment by the 20th class day will be “hard”
dropped from their classes. At this point in time, students may no
longer attend classes in the current term.
