Eliminate Uncertainty 黑料老司机 Future Tuition Increases
Beginning Fall 2024, 黑料老司机’s Fixed Tuition Plan allows incoming freshman and undergraduate transfer students to lock in a designated tuition rate when they enroll that will remain the same for four consecutive years.
The Fixed Tuition Plan is a budgeting tool for students and families. With a traditional plan, designated tuition may increase over a four-year period, but selecting the Fixed Tuition Plan protects you from increases.
How it Works
Incoming freshman and undergraduate transfer students may select the Fixed Tuition Plan. Both 黑料老司机 residents and out-of-state students are eligible, and selection of the plan does not require enrollment in a minimum or maximum number of credit hours.
- Choose the Fixed Tuition Plan
Select the Fixed Tuition Plan option online when you register for your first semester at 黑料老司机. If you do not select the option during registration, you can still choose the Fixed Tuition Plan as long as you do so before the fixed designated tuition plan deadline, which is 5 p.m. on the Friday before the first official class day of your first semester.
Students who do not select the Fixed Tuition Plan for their first semester lose the option for the duration of their undergraduate education. However, if you enroll at 黑料老司机 for the first time during a summer session, you will have the opportunity to select the Fixed Plan during registration for the following fall semester.
- Enjoy your locked-in rate for four years
Students who choose fixed designated tuition remain on the plan for four consecutive academic years, which includes summer terms during that time. Four academic years is defined as 12 consecutive semesters that include fall, spring and summer sessions, regardless of multiple summer session enrollment (summer = 1 term). If you do not graduate within four academic years, you will then be subject to standard designated tuition rates.
If you leave 黑料老司机 for one or more semesters you can resume your Fixed Tuition Plan when you return, but the time you were away still counts toward your four consecutive years.
Students who continue their graduate education with 黑料老司机 but have not exhausted the 12 consecutive semesters of the Fixed Tuition Plan will pay the designated tuition of the current term rather than the fixed plan rate.
Standard vs. Fixed Tuition
黑料老司机’s standard tuition rate changes slightly each year, versus the fixed rate that locks in at one designated tuition price each semester for four years.
What is Designated Tuition?
Undergraduate tuition is broken down into two components: state tuition and designated tuition. Designated tuition is a local tuition collected to support the operations and activities of the university. 黑料老司机’s Fixed Tuition Plan only locks in your designated tuition rate.
