Frequently Asked Questions
What is the deadline for paying Fall 2008 tuition and fees? Friday August 22, 2008 5pm I am to receive financial aid/scholarship; do I have the same deadline as other students? Yes the Fall 2008 due dates are the same. However if the student has applied for financial aid and has completed all documents, counseling, etc and the aid will cover 50% of tuition and fees and the Office of Student Financial Aid can verify PVAMU is waiting for aid to be sent, the student will not be dropped. The student can check on PANTHERTRACKS for financial aid document completion. http://panthertracks.pvamu.edu/ If my classes are dropped (cancelled) due to non-payment what should I do? Students that are dropped the night of August 22, 2008 may re-register during the add periods stated in the Fall 2008 Academic Calendar. A late registration fee will be assessed. 100%(50% if on the installment method) of tuition and fees will be due the day your register. If the student has not paid on the day of the re-registration classes will be dropped again for non-payment. If the student has completed all documents, counseling, etc and award that will cover 100% (50% if on the installment method) of tuition and fees, the student must contact the Office of Student Financial Aid at 936-261-1000 and talk to their counselor. If the Office of Student Financial can verify PVAMU is waiting for the aid, the counselor will prevent the student from being dropped. Find out who is your student financial aid counselor. What options do I have for making payments? Students may pay using cash, check, money order, credit cards, etc. at WR Banks Cashiers window 8:30am – 3pm Monday – Fridays on school days.

A student is recommended for a short term loan by their Student Financial Aid Counselor. Please go to PANTHERTRACKS and click on Loan Forms and Application for qualifications and application.

The student may see their bill at anytime in PANTHERTRACKS. A student may review and/or change their mailing address in PANTHERTRACKS. Why is the deadline to pay my tuition and fee bill the day before school starts?
