Book Loans

Eligible Undergraduate, Graduate, Law, and Veterinary students may apply for a Book Loan in an amount less than or equal to $500 each semester. Students are allowed one book loan per fall, spring, and summer semesters. This program helps students afford essential textbooks and course materials.

Exemptions and Waivers

Student Business Services processes the Exemptions and Waivers for Texas Tech University. These exemptions and waivers can significantly reduce the cost of tuition for eligible students.

It is important to note that exemptions are not considered payment under state payment guidelines. A student who does not yet have the exemption applied to their account may still be subject to cancellation if they fail to meet the state payment requirements.

Texas Education Code section 54.2001 requires that in order for a student to receive exemptions and waivers, the student must meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements for grade point average and not be considered enrolled in excessive hours. Texas Education Code section 54.2002 requires that a student be enrolled in state-funded courses in order to receive exemptions and waivers.
