Cost of Attendance

The cost of attendance (COA) is an estimate of what it costs the typical student to attend UT. Your COA covers both your tuition and basic living expenses, including housing and food, books and supplies, transportation and travel costs and personal expenses. Your COA is also used to create your financial aid package. Small changes to this estimate may or may not result in adjustments to aid depending on Federal/State policies and regulations. UT and other resources may provide financial aid up to your total COA but will not provide financial aid exceeding that amount.

Longhorn Fixed Tuition

Longhorn Fixed Tuition is an optional tuition program available only to undergraduate students enrolling at UT for the first time. Longhorn Fixed Tuition rates remain the same for four consecutive academic years. The rates are guaranteed each semester the student is enrolled during this period. Fixed tuition rates are higher than traditional rates because they are based on the projected average flat rate tuition over the next four years.

Undergraduate students may be eligible for a tuition rebate of up to $1,000 and students enrolled in the Longhorn Fixed Tuition program are eligible for an additional $2,500 rebate. Eligible students are required to apply for a tuition rebate prior to graduation.

To enroll in the Longhorn Fixed Tuition program, go to the Enrollment page and sign the electronic agreement. If you are younger than 18 years old or do not have an upgraded UT EID, you may download the agreement, print, manually sign and return it to Student Accounts Receivable.

You must enroll by the 12th class day (fourth class day of a summer session) of your first semester in attendance to participate in Longhorn Fixed Tuition. Changes to the selection must be made by the 12th class day.
