FERPA

Family Education Rights & Privacy Act

Release of account information

FERPA is a federal law that protects the privacy of students' education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under a program of the U.S. Department of Education.

• The Bursar's office cannot release information regarding a student's account to any person unless authorized by law or unless the student consents to the disclosure in writing.
• If a student would like to provide permission for the Bursar's office to discuss his or her account with another individual, he or she should fill out a FERPA release available on the myCampus website. Click here for a short tutorial on setting up FERPA Authorizations.
• We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause when a FERPA release is not in place, but we appreciate your understanding and compliance with this important law, and we look forward to serving you in the future.

Return of Title IV Funds

If a student withdraws or stops attending class BEFORE 60% of a semester is completed, a portion of Title IV funds (federally funded financial aid - including loans) must be returned in accordance with U.S. Department of Education Regulations. This will result in an amount being owed to the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor by the student.

If a student fails to earn a passing grade in at least one class, the student is deemed by the U.S. Department of Education to have unofficially withdrawn.

The student must provide evidence of participation in an academic-related activity after 60% of the semester to avoid return of Title IV funds. If no evidence of participation is provided, Title IV funds will be returned, and this will result in an amount being owed to the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor by the student.

Nelnet Payment Plan

UMHB offers our students and families a monthly payment plan to help pay the cost of tuition and fees over the course of the semester.

Payment plans are offered through Nelnet, a third party who manages the payment plans for UMHB. Nelnet is a convenient, monthly payment plan available for the fall and spring semesters. **Plans are per semester. If you use Nelnet to settle your account, a new plan must be set up by the settlement due date for each semester.

Pay-as-you-go is an interest-free payment option that allows educational costs to be divided into equal easy-to-handle monthly payments.
