TWAPMTS - Using mulitple contracts to pay tuition and fees for a student

Modified on Thu, 15 Jun, 2023 at 11:35 AM

If you are using more than one FAMIS account to pay for a student's tuition and fees, you will need to process multiple contract payments. Only use multiple contracts if it is necessary to pay out of different accounts. If there is a single contract you can use to cover everything that needs to be paid, use it rather than entering multiple contracts. 


  • Always choose and save the contract that pays partial tuition/fees first. Example: 50% tuition.
  • Then choose and save a 100% contract to pay from the second FAMIS account. You can use this contract with a maximum amount for the limit so you do not overpay the student.
  • The system will automatically prioritize the payments based on the order in which you process them.
  • If you enter the contracts in the incorrect order, email twapmts@tamu.edu requesting that the Priority be changed so that the partial contract pays first. 


NOTE: Exemptions always apply before contracts.
