Return to McMurry
Find your way back to your degree.
If you previously attended McMurry but did not complete your degree, War Hawk Way Back may help you return, address an outstanding McMurry balance, remove eligible registration holds, and continue toward graduation.
$1,500
Maximum Forgiveness
Eligible returning students may receive up to $1,500 in forgiveness of prior institutional debt owed to McMurry.
3
Completed Semesters
Students must complete three consecutive semesters to receive the full available benefit.
$500
Per Eligible Semester
Up to $500 may be applied after each completed eligible semester.
Readmission and Debt Forgiveness Are Different
All returning students may apply for readmission. Eligibility for readmission does not automatically guarantee eligibility for institutional debt forgiveness through War Hawk Way Back.
Program Requirements
Who may qualify?
To be considered for institutional debt forgiveness, returning students must meet the following requirements:
1You have not been enrolled at McMurry for at least two long semesters—fall and spring.
2You have more than $200 in unpaid institutional debt owed directly to McMurry.
3If your balance exceeds $1,500, you arrange an approved payment plan for the remaining balance with Student Accounts.
4You maintain good financial standing and cover any new charges incurred after re-enrolling.
5You complete your courses during three consecutive semesters to receive the full available benefit.
Your Return Path
How War Hawk Way Back works

The Registrar’s Office will review your application, academic record, outstanding balance, and applicable holds.
Step 3

Complete advising, address any remaining requirements, and re-enroll in the courses needed for your degree.
Step 4
Complete Each Semester
After each eligible semester is completed, the applicable debt-forgiveness amount is posted to your account.
How Debt Forgiveness Is Applied
- Eligible students may receive up to $1,500 in forgiveness of prior institutional debt owed directly to McMurry.
- Up to $500 is applied after each completed eligible semester.
- If your eligible balance is less than $1,500, the balance is divided into three equal amounts and applied over three eligible semesters.
- A balance greater than $1,500 does not prevent you from receiving the maximum benefit, but you must make arrangements for the remaining balance.
- Debt owed to another institution cannot be forgiven through this program.
- The War Hawk Way Back debt-forgiveness benefit may be received only once.
Important to Know
War Hawk Way Back applies only to eligible prior institutional debt at McMurry. It does not eliminate new tuition, fees, books, housing, or other expenses associated with returning to school. Readmission and final program eligibility are determined after review.
