Federal Loans

Master’s degree students are not eligible for financial aid, as this program is not state-funded. However, master’s degree students are eligible for federal loans through the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.

Direct Subsidized, Direct Unsubsidized, Direct PLUS and private loans may help cover the cost of tuition. Offered by private lenders and federal and state governments, these federal loans often feature lower interest rates than traditional loans. If you are interested in learning more about federal loans, please refer to the Loans page on Texas One Stop.

Master’s degree students are not eligible for loans through the College Access Loan (CAL) Program.

Tuition Reimbursement

Tuition reimbursement is a benefit offered by many employers to employees who are looking to gain job-related skills and advance their careers within the company.

If you are interested in tuition reimbursement, you should first verify whether your employer has an existing tuition reimbursement policy. From there, you can determine your eligibility and work with your employer to receive benefits.

Tuition, Fees and Billing Q&A

Please read through the following Q&As that offer thorough information addressing a range of questions asked by students. Additional information to these questions and more can be found here.

When are student billing statements received?

When are student billing statements received?

A billing statement for payment of program fees is generated for each student each semester. It is sent as a .pdf attachment each semester to the student’s primary email address.  Please monitor your primary email address given to the Texas Engineering Executive Education.  Bills are typically sent on or around:

  • August 15th for the fall semester
  • December 1st for the spring semester
  • April 15th for the summer semester

For more information on billing, please refer to your student handbook.

Are additional fees applied to student billing statements?

Yes, these fees typically fall into four categories:

  • international insurance fees
  • late registration fees
  • late payment fees
  • tuition payment plan fees.

The University also assesses mandatory fees, but these are paid on your behalf by the program each semester, and should not appear on you billing statement.

International insurance fees: These fees are automatically assessed by the university for international students each semester of study and are the student’s responsibility.  When we pay the mandatory fees on your behalf, international insurance fees are also automatically paid.  Those fees will then be added to your billing statement so the program can be reimbursed for those fees by you.  It is possible to get these fees waived or reduced by providing proof of insurance to the University International and Student Scholar Services (ISSS).  Only after the ISSS removes your fees for the semester in question from your bill, can we refund your payment.

Late registration fees: These fees are assessed by the University and are due to registering for courses beyond the standard windows. If the reason for late registration is the fault of the student, for instance due to not responding in a timely manner to the registration survey, the late fees assessed by the University will be added to your billing statement issued by TxEEE, since the fees will be automatically paid on your behalf as part of your mandatory fees.

Late payment fees: These fees are assessed each month on the 18th based on the tuition amount that is delinquent at that time.  Students on a payment plan, or waiting on payment issued by another source such as their employer or VA benefits, will not be assessed late fees, but ONLY if their intent to use one of these methods for payment has been communicated to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. prior to the first payment deadline.

Payment plan feesThese fees will be assessed each semester that a student elects to pay their tuition on a payment plan.  It will be assessed once per semester and is currently $50 per semester.

What are the fees for international students?

All international students, regardless of visa status, are assessed a mandatory student fee each semester by the International and Student Scholar Services Office that is the responsibility of the student. This fee is $125 per semester.

International students who attend the University are automatically enrolled in the student insurance program and are responsible for the associated fees.  In some cases the insurance provided by the student’s employer or another outside source will meet the University’s criteria and be sufficient to have these fees waived and removed from the student’s bill.  Proof of insurance needs to be submitted to International Student and Scholar Services Office for review.  The ISSS can be reached at 512.471.2477 or at 2400 Nueces Street, in the International Office Building, INT.

Does TxEEE offer payment plans?

Yes, a payment plan may be requested each semester. Payment plans are offered on a case-by-case basis. Formal requests for a payment plan must be submitted in writing and approved by TxEEE Accounting prior to the payment deadline. Payment plans can be divided into no more than three (3) payments per semester. A $50 service fee will be applied to your billing statement each semester a payment plan is used.

Do you accept self-payment over the phone or via email?

No. There are three ways to submit self-payment, and they appear at the bottom of every billing statement TxEEE sends out. The options include:

 

Check: Payable to “The University of Texas at Austin” and mailed or submitted in person to:  Texas Engineering Executive Education, 201 E 24th St., Stop A2800, Austin, TX 78712, ATTN: Accounting.

Why do I need to include my name, UT EID, and program of student in electronic communications?

The UT EID is a unique identifier for each student used in lieu of a Social Security Number. Questions in need of a response will require that you supply, at minimum, your Student EID and program of study on any and all communications.  This information enables us to research and respond to your questions or concerns more efficiently.

What if I need to drop or change a course?

A student may drop a course with required approvals through the last class day of a regular semester or summer term. Specific deadlines for dropping a course are in the academic calendars available online through the University website.  In TxEEE, students must contact the Graduate Coordinator via email to drop a course. To make a formal request, you must include your full name, UT EID, and program of study in your email correspondence. Failure to submit a formal request to the Graduate Coordinator will result in financial liability, requiring tuition payment in full, with additional associated fees, for each course. In addition, failure to adhere to these procedures may result in a failing grade.

Please get in touch with the Graduate Coordinator at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you need to drop or change a course.

Why is it important to respond to emails regarding billing?

The University of Texas at Austin views email to be “a mechanism for official University communications to students.” Students are responsible for checking their email on a frequent basis to ensure they are receiving all important communications. All billing statements and invoices are sent via email notifying you of any past or present payments due, late fees, registration fees or additional program associated fees.

The University’s email policy can be found at: http://www.utexas.edu/cio/policies/university-electronic-mail-student-notification-policy

Does TxEEE accept company vouchers?

Yes! A student can make a formal request to their employer for funding their education. The student must complete all required documentation in accordance with their company’s deadlines. Once approved, the company sends the student a voucher verifying the amount of financial support. The voucher should be forwarded to TxEEE Accounting, in advance of the payment deadline, by the student.  This applies only to vouchers where the company will pay the University DIRECTLY for the student’s tuition. If the company will be reimbursing the student, then the student is responsible for making all payments by the stated deadlines in order to avoid late fees and remain in good financial standing with the University.

If, after reading through this Q&A and referencing the student handbook, you still have questions, please contact the TxEEE Accounting team at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., and include your EID and program of study in the email.
