Email business.office@tamut.edu for a third party contract. Contracts MUST be completed each academic year.

Students do not receive a check with this loan; a credit is made to offset tuition/fee charges. A debit is then made in order for the student to pay back the amount of the emergency loan.  Applications for emergency loans must be submitted before the first day of classes.
