Welcome to the Business Office

2026 Spring:

Official Payment Plan Deadline for 2025 Spring was: Monday January 12th 

On January 12th, student accounts need to be paid in full or enrolled in a payment plan for the semester. On January 13th, any accounts that have an unpaid balance and are not enrolled on a payment plan, will be subject to deletion of class schedules.

Recently Registered?

If you registered on or after January 10 or are attending New Student Orientation on January 16, your payment deadline is:

Wednesday, January 21 by 10 AM. Non payment deletions will occur at noon. 

*Pending aid and Partial Payments will not hold your schedule

If your financial aid has not yet posted to your account on or before January 12th, this would be considered Pending Aid and you will need to have that balance paid in full or enroll in a payment plan in order to keep your class schedule.

Per Texas Higher Education Code Sec.54.007, student accounts with a balance due and not on a payment plan, will be subject to deletion of their class schedule.

Thinking of a payment plan? Great! Here are the dates in which payments will be due

Electronic Refund Enrollment for the Spring 2026 Semester:

We are currently transitioning to BankMobile for our student refunds. 

You may be receiving a notice from BankMobile Disbursements (BM Technologies) about West Texas A&M University’s new student refund program. If you have received this message, please be assured that it is legitimate and not spam or phishing.

To provide more flexible and convenient refund options, WTAMU has partnered with BankMobile Disbursements to deliver financial aid refunds beginning January 2026. Moving forward, refunds will no longer be processed in-house and will instead be issued through BankMobile.

Important: If you do not set up your refund preference with BankMobile, your refund may be delayed. If you previously set up a BankMobile account in July 2025, you may be asked to re-enroll due to system updates designed to better serve our students.

Refund Delivery Options

All students will be asked to select one of the following options:

Deposit to an Existing Bank Account
• Funds are sent the same business day BankMobile receives them from WTAMU
• Most banks credit the funds within 1–2 business days

Deposit to a BankMobile Vibe Account
• Open a BankMobile Vibe checking account (identity verification required)
• Funds are deposited the same business day BankMobile receives them from WTAMU

All students will be asked to select a refund delivery preference from the options listed above. Here’s what need to do:

• Look for the Personal Code

Starting in January, students should look for their Personal Code. It will arrive in by email from BankMobile, and by mail in a bright green envelope. Students may use any code assigned to them to select their refund preference.

• Select how you want your money delivered

Once your Personal Code arrives, students should go to RefundSelection.com and enter their code to select how they would like to receive their money. If students select the BankMobile Vibe Checking Account as their refund choice, they will receive a temporary virtual Debit MasterCard® to use until their physical card arrives in the mail.
