GENERAL INFORMATION
STATEMENT OF POLICY REGARDING TUITION AND STUDENT
FEES
A student who applies and is admitted to Trinity University assumes a definite financial obligation. It is
expected that the student or his/her parents or guardian will comply with provisions of this section of the
bulletin relative to payments of accounts and bills. All checks should be made payable to Trinity
University unless otherwise directed.
A student who is regularly enrolled and has made payments in full or executed a University approved
contract with an educational payment plan is entitled to all the privileges of attending classes, taking
examinations, receiving grade reports, securing course credit, graduating, and residence hall access,
and cafeteria meals where applicable.
Any student who is delinquent with a financial obligation to the University, including and not limited to
damage to University property, traffic fines, health services charges, or library fines, is subject to
exclusion from any or all of the usual privileges of the University. Graduation may be denied, and his/her
permanent record will not be released until the outstanding balance is paid in full.
Delinquent account balances, which include student loans, will be turned over to a collection agency.
Any fees associated with the collection of the debt are the responsibility of the student.
STATEMENT OF POLICIES REGARDING STUDENT EXPENSES
1. EACH STUDENT IS LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OR HER SCHOOL EXPENSES. It is
imperative that students and parents (when applicable) be aware of the cost of tuition, required
fees, and room and board expense for the contract period, defined as the semester for which the
student is enrolling.
2. STUDENT ENROLLMENT IS COMPLETED ONLY WHEN TUITION AND EXPENSES ARE PAID
IN FULL or upon making satisfactory arrangements for a contract with educational lending
organizations approved by Trinity University. Through these organizations, many students or
parents have found it convenient to pay school costs in monthly installments.
3. The form entitled STUDENT CONSENT TO RELEASE EDUCATIONAL RECORDS, which may be
found online at www.trinity.edu/departments/buso under GENERAL INFORMATION, gives
authorization to release financial information to parents or other responsible parties. If your student
has not provided us with this information, you may print the form, have the sutdent fill it out, sign
it, and return the completed form to the Office of Student Accounts immediately.
The alternative payment plan endorsed by Trinity University is available through Academic Management
Services (AMS). This interest-free plan enables you to make monthly payments in increments of 4 to 12
months. Participation in this plan requires an annual enrollment fee of $55 (subject to change). Further
