Guaranteed Tuition Overview
View the Tuition and Fee schedule for Guaranteed Tuition.
Families can better plan for the cost of education.
Students enrolled at UT Dallas for the first time for Fall 2008, Spring 2009 and Summer 2009 will be charged for tuition and mandatory fees fixed at the Fall 2008 rates for all succeeding semesters through the Summer of 2012.
Students have an incentive to graduate on time. Additional courses taken beyond 15 credit hours are essentially free for in-state students.
Students who enrolled prior to Fall 2008 will be charged a different rate than newly enrolled students.
With the Comet Connection, students enrolling in participating two-year schools in the 2008-09 year can lock in the same Fall 2008 rate.
The Guaranteed Tuition Rate Plan is designed to help students and their families better plan for the cost of a college education, while allowing the university to maintain the quality of its academic programs.
It also provides an incentive for students to earn a degree in a timely manner, since additional courses taken beyond 15 credit hours each semester will, in essence, be free to in-state students. (Charges per semester credit hour for tuition and mandatory fees at UT Dallas depend on the number of hours for which a student enrolls up to 15.)
Non-resident students (those who are from out of state) pay a differential rate per credit hour.
Other non-mandatory fees including, for example, parking, and housing fees, will be subject to change.
The Comet Connection
Those who begin their college careers at a community college will also be able to take advantage of UT Dallas’ Guaranteed Tuition Rate Plan under a new program called the Comet Connection.
Every two-year college in Texas, both public and private, participates in the Comet Connection.
