EBATES
The amount of tuition to be rebated to a student under this program is $1,000,
unless the total amount of undergraduate tuition paid by the student to the
institution awarding the degree was less than $1,000, in which event the amount of
tuition to be rebated is an amount equal to the amount of undergraduate tuition
paid by the student to the institution.
A student who paid the institution awarding the degree an amount of
undergraduate tuition less than $1,000 may qualify for an increase in the amount of
the rebate, not to exceed a total rebate of $1,000, for any amount of undergraduate
tuition the student paid to other Texas public institutions of higher education by
providing the institution awarding the degree with proof of the total amount of that
tuition paid to other institutions.
Tuition rebates will be reduced by the amount of any outstanding student loan,
including an emergency loan, owed to or guaranteed by the state, including the
Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation. If a student has more than one
outstanding student loan, the institution will apply the amount of the rebate to the
loans as directed by the student. If the student fails to provide timely instructions on
the application of the amount, the institution will apply the rebate to retire the loans
with the highest interest rates first.

ESPONSIBILITIES OF
S
TUDENTS
Students desiring to qualify for tuition rebates are solely responsible for enrolling
only in courses that will qualify them for the rebates. A student who has transferred
from another institution of higher education is responsible for providing to the
institution awarding the degree official transcripts from all institutions attended by
the student.
Students are required to apply for rebates on forms provided by the institution
prior to receiving their baccalaureate degrees and to keep the institution apprised of
their addresses for at least 30 days after their graduation date.
TEXTBOOK REFUNDS
Textbook sales are final unless the student drops a course. A full refund will be given
for books returned to the college bookstore with the sales receipt by the tenth day of
the fall or spring semester or the third day of a summer or mini semester. Students
returning usable books which are stained, written in or damaged will receive an
80% refund. There will be no refund for unusable books. The bookstore will buy
back books at the end of each semester if the course is to be offered the following
semester and the same book will be used again in that course. The price will be up to
50 percent of the purchased book price. Students must present identification and
proof of purchase. The bookstore may refuse to buy any books at any time. Defective
merchandise may be exchanged within five days of purchase.
