How to Avoid Registration Hold(s)

Key tips from Student Business Services to avoid registration hold(s):

👉Clear all past-due balances from terms before Fall 2025

👉Keep your Fall 2025 balance under $1,000

👉Stay current on payment plan payments. Check your balance and make payments anytime at jagwire.tamusa.edu 

A Fall 2025 balance under $1,000 allows you to register for future terms, but any unpaid amount can stop you from creating a Spring 2026 payment plan or clearing past-due holds.

Join a Group and Start Healing: Student Counseling Center Fall Therapy Groups

Each group meets weekly from the week of October 13 through November 20. These are closed groups—once they begin, no new members can join—so early enrollment is required.

Students must contact the Student Counseling Center by Monday, Oct. 13 to schedule a brief screening and reserve a spot.

Students must contact the Counseling Center directly to protect confidentiality. Call 210-784-1331 or stop by Madla 120 to sign up.
