The Institutional Loans team of Student Accounts Receivable handles the billing and management of all University-issued loans once a loan becomes due. 

• Students interested in taking out a tuition loan or emergency cash loan should visit the Loans page of the Texas One Stop site.
• Students may pay or see the current status of their institutional loans on the Loans Summary site.

Short-Term Institutional Loans

Tuition Loans

Tuition loans are short-term loans offered to students for an amount that cannot exceed the amount of their tuition bill. Qualifying registered students are eligible to apply for a tuition loan on the Tuition Loans site. Visit the Loans page of the Texas One Stop site for more details on the criteria to be eligible for a tuition loan.  

Students may print an existing tuition loan promissory note from the Tuition Loans site.

Emergency Cash Loans

Emergency cash loans are short-term loans offered to students; qualifying students may borrow up to $500 through the Emergency Cash Loans page. Visit the Loans page of the Texas One Stop site for more details on the criteria to be eligible for an emergency cash loan.  

Students may print an existing emergency cash loan promissory note from the Emergency Cash Loans site. 

Loan Repayment

Students will be notified of their institutional loan due date when taking out the loan. There is no extension available for the due date on institutional loans. 

Payments for tuition loans may be made on the My Tuition Loans site. Payment for emergency cash loans may be made on the What I Owe site. (See further information on the Student Payment Information page.)

If the loan is not paid by the due date, a financial hold will be placed on their record until the loan is paid in full. This financial hold may restrict the student from registering, applying for graduation, receiving their diploma etc. 

It is important that if a student is unable to pay their institutional loan in full upon the loan due date that they contact our office by emailing us at tuitioncashloan@austin.utexas.edu or calling 512-475-7725. Our office can work with the student to establish a repayment agreement. Establishing a repayment agreement is necessary to prevent the loan from being placed with one of our collection agencies. If an institutional loan is sent for collections, a 25% collections fee will be added to the amount due. (See further details on the Collection Agencies page.)

Credit Reporting

• Tuition loans that are not paid in full will be reported as past due on the borrower's credit report 30 days after the loan due date.
• Emergency cash loans that are not paid in full and do not have an established repayment agreement on file with regular payments being made will be reported as past due on the borrower's credit report if the loan is sent for collections.
