SAM HOUSTON MEMORIAL MUSEUM
The Sam Houston Memorial Museum, established
in 1936 as a Texas centennial project, is an integral part
of Sam Houston State University and is dedicated to preserving
the memory of General Sam Houston (1793-1863). A soldier,
statesman and politician, the only man to serve as governor
of two states and president of an independent republic, Sam
Houston led the fight for Texas' independence and then served
Texas as President, US Senator, and Governor. Located on fifteen
acres, the museum complex preserves three fully furnished
original Houston buildings - Woodland Home, Steamboat House,
and Law Office - as well as a kitchen, blacksmith shop and
other exhibit structures. The Memorial Museum Building houses
the major collection of Houston memorabilia and exhibits.
The Katy & E. Don Walker, Sr. Education Center is named
for a distinguished alumnus of Sam Houston State University
and his wife, and provides auditorium, classroom and meeting
spaces, as well as a gallery for traveling exhibits and 'Wigwam
Neosho' - the museum store and gift shop.
The museum offers many educational opportunities
for Sam Houston State University students. These include semester-length
internships, part-time student employment, tours, and research
and writing programs using archives, manuscripts and artifacts.
The newest addition to the museum complex, the Katy and E.
Don Walker, Sr. Education Center, was dedicated on March 2,
1995. This facility, much used by the Huntsville community,
provides changing exhibits and interpretive programs to more
than 70,000 visitors each year.

THE UNIVERSITY CENTER
Seven universities and North Harris Montgomery
Community College District formed a multi-institutional teaching
center to provide unduplicated bachelor's and master's degrees
to a service area, specifically north Houston, north Harris
County, and Montgomery County. The University Center provides
a critical link for community development and individual opportunity
to an estimated 1.2 million citizens.
Sam Houston State University is joined
by Prairie View A&M University, Texas A&M University,
Texas Southern University, University of Houston, and University
of Houston-Downtown as well as the colleges of NHMCCD: Kingwood
College, Montgomery College, North Harris College, and Tomball
College.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
REGISTRATION EXPENSES
ALL TUITION AND FEES ARE CORRECT AS OF
THE DATE OF PRINTING BUT ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY ACTION OF
THE STATE LEGISLATURE OR BY THE BOARD OF REGENTS.
The University receives Instructional Funds
from the State as follows. For the two long semesters, the
total number of semester hours for which students have registered,
as of the twelfth class day, is the number of hours on which
the funds are based. For each summer session, funds are based
on total registered hours as of the fourth class day of each
session. Students who have not completed their registration
by the above dates may not receive credit for work for the
semester/session.
The Texas Legislature has authorized collection
of tuition and fees during a Fall or Spring semester by one
of two methods: payment in full or one-half payment of the
tuition and fees at registration and separate one-quarter
payments due prior to the sixth and eleventh class weeks.
Parking permits, late registration fees, and yearbook fees
are examples of charges which must be paid in full and are
not eligible for installment payment. There is an additional
processing fee for administration of the installment payment
plans, $30 for Texas residents and $50 for nonresidents. Failure
to make timely installment payments will cause accrual of
late charges ($15 per installment) and reinstatement charges
($50).
Any financial aid, tuition waivers, grants
or deferments will be used to reduce the amount owed by the
student, with the remaining balance eligible for the installment
payment plan. During a summer session, the tuition and fees
are collectible in full. The Texas Legislature has reserved
the right to discontinue the installment payment plan.
Students will not be admitted to classes
by the instructors until their tuition and fees are paid.
PAYMENTS
Payments made for registration purposes
may be made by cash, cashier's check, personal check, money
order, or VISA or MasterCard credit card. All checks and money
orders are accepted subject to final payment. If the tuition
and fees are not paid by the stated deadline, the course(s)
will be deleted from the student's class schedule. Further
information may be obtained from the Office of Student Accounts,
telephone (936) 294-1089 or the Cashier's Office, telephone
(936) 294-1083.
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Students are expected to meet financial
obligations to the University within the designated time allowed.
Registration fees are payable at registration, except for
that portion of the registration fee that may be temporarily
deferred, but payable later in scheduled payments as part
of an installment payment agreement. If the tuition and fees
are not paid by the stated deadline(s), the course(s) will
be deleted from the student's class schedule. See Tuition
and Fees Schedule, Payment of Tuition and Fees in the Schedule
of Classes or www.shsu.edu/saminfo/.
Students are not entitled to enter
classes or laboratories until their appropriate fees and deposits
have been paid. Other charges are due at registration or within
ten days after a bill is rendered by the University, or according
to special payment instructions that may be printed on the
bill or agreement.
Failure to pay the amount owed in full,
including appropriate penalty and late fee charges, prior
to registration for a future semester or prior to the last
class day for the current semester or summer session can result
in any or all of the following sanctions: 1) withholding of
future registration privileges; 2) withholding award of degree;
and 3) withholding of an official certified transcript.
Students who pay fees with a returned check
may suffer the above sanctions as well as those shown in the
following section.
Student Accounts.
In order to provide information and assistance to students,
the Office of Student Accounts may be contacted to discuss
student accounts with the University, for example, payments
made or owed, due dates for payments. Telephone (936) 294-1089
or www.shsu.edu/saminfo
COLLECTIONS FOR NONPAYMENT
Nonpayment by the end of the semester will
result in transfer of the student's account to a contracted
collection agency and assessment of a collection fee of at
least 25 percent of the outstanding balance. The University
may also choose to litigate an account on advice of University
legal counsel. Should an account be litigated, the student
will be responsible for all litigation expenses including
attorney's fees and court costs. Accounts that are referred
to a contracted collection agency may also be reported to
credit bureaus.
RETURNED CHECK POLICY
A returned check is defined as one
returned to the University rightfully unpaid due to no fault
of the bank or the University. The check may be written by
the student or the check may be written on his/her behalf
by a spouse, guardian, friend or sponsor.
The University reserves the right to refuse
personal checks of any student who previously has had checks
returned.
Each returned check is subject to a $25
check processing fee. Students have 10 days from the date
on which notice is sent from the Business Office in which
to pay the returned check and the returned check processing
fee or inform the Business Office of their intent. Thereafter,
the student may be resigned from the University. (The student
should not assume that we are resigning him/her. If the student
discontinues going to class without officially resigning from
school, he/she will be subject to the grade of F.) Students
who have been resigned are eligible for reinstatement upon
redemption of such check or checks, plus the returned check
processing fee and the payment of a reinstatement charge of
$50. A student who fails to make payment prior to the first
day of final exams will not receive credit for the work done
that semester and will not be allowed to register for future
semesters until the delinquent amount is paid. In addition,
unpaid returned checks may be turned over to other agencies
for prosecution and collection.
Students will be given the opportunity to
be heard regarding any special circumstances. Such circumstances
will be given full and fair consideration, and exceptions
to the returned check policy may be granted by the Director
of the Business Office or a delegated employee, based on the
evidence presented.

TUITION AND FEES REFUND POLICY
A student enrolled at Sam Houston State
University may receive financial refund of tuition and fees
as outlined in the schedules listed below. Refunds and credits
from one department will be applied to any other outstanding
balances in other departments. Any remaining refund will be
mailed to the permanent address on the student record when
the refund is processed. The University may refund tuition
and fees paid by a sponsor, donor or scholarship to the source
rather than directly to the student who has withdrawn if the
funds were made available to the University.
Refund policies were established by Senate
Bill No. 604 of the 65th Legislature and adopted by the Board
of Regents, Texas State University System, in August of 1977
and by the applicable federal regulations dealing with first
semester financial aid students.
NOTE: Class days are University class
days, not the number of days an individual class meets. Class
days are to be counted from the first class meeting of on-campus
daytime courses as indicated in the Academic Calendar.
The student who officially withdraws from
Sam Houston State University may be eligible for a refund
of tuition and the specified fees, based upon the courses
in which the student is enrolled on the official date of withdrawal.
Refunds are made in accordance with the following schedules:

Students who receive Title IV aid in the
form of a Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grant, Federal Stafford Loan, or Texas Public Education Leveraging
Educational Assistance Partnership Grant and resign on or
before completing 60% of the semester will be required to
repay the percentage of unearned financial aid according to
the federal "Return to Title IV Aid" formula derived
from the 1998 Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act.
The percentage of aid to be repaid to SFA programs is equal
to the number of calendar days remaining in the semester divided
by the number of calendar days in the semester.
Refunds are to be returned to lenders or
program accounts in the following statutorily specified order
provided the student has received funds from the account:
- Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan
- Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan
- Unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans
- Subsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans
- Federal Perkins Loans
- Federal PLUS Loan
- Federal Direct PLUS Loans
- Federal Pell Grants
- FSEOGs
- Other federal, state, private or institutional sources
of aid
- The Student
The above schedule assumes the student has
paid his or her fees in full. A different schedule applies
to the installment payment plan participants - the primary
difference in the schedule being the requirement for the University
to compute the refund based on the assumption that the full
amount of tuition and fees have been collected. Therefore,
it is possible, and probable, that a student in the installment
plan could owe more in tuition and fees than already collected
by the University. These extra amounts, if any, would be due
and payable before the student would be allowed to resign
from the University.
