When you initially register as a student at Angelo State
University, you establish an account with the University through its Student
Accounts Office. This agreement is a

own reference. In this agreement, the

University. The words “you,” “your” and
“student” refer to you, the student. The
word “agreement” refers to this Agreement and Disclosure Statement.

related financial transactions through your account. The terms of this agreement apply to all
purchases, charges, fees, fines, tuition and loans made or obtained by you,
made or obtained by someone else with your permission or on your behalf, or
