The Guaranteed Tuition Rate Plan locks an individual student's tuition rate for four years, offering these advantages:
- Families can better plan for the cost of education.
- Students have an incentive to graduate on time. Additional courses taken beyond 15 credit hours are essentially free for in-state students.
- Transfer students can take advantage of the guaranteed tuition lock through the Comet Connection.
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
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.
