Decisions for summer 2022 courses have not yet been made.

Summer tuition rate: Normally the university offers summer term classes at a rate reduced from the long semester in order to support continued learning and to help students remain on track toward their degrees. This year, the summer term rate for undergraduate students has been set at 75% of the fall/spring semester rates from the 2020-2021 academic year. The new rate for undergraduate non-residents reflects a 25% reduction of the fall/spring semester rates from the 2020-2021 academic year. Tuition is set by Texas Legislature, and varies by resident and non-resident. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board under authority of the legislature sets the non-resident rate annually.

Special rate summer classes: In addition, the university has identified 16 classes to be offered at a special tuition rate of $500 per class for Texas resident students and $2000 for non-resident students. The selected classes are in high demand, support timely degree completion, and are taught by exceptional faculty members and especially designed to support student success. The list of these classes can be found here.

Selected classes are those that can effectively be taught asynchronously so that they may be accessible to students no matter their location over the summer or their work or internship commitments. The university is investing resources in the development of these classes so that they are taught by top university faculty and instructors, are high-quality classes, and have additional student learning and teaching support to facilitate student success.

All sections of the high-demand, special price classes are offered at $500. Each class is noted as a $500-class in the registration system, to eliminate any potential student confusion. In addition, the list of special pricing classes are posted on Texas One Stop.

In the past sometimes students were blocked from taking UT extension options if they were offered in summer.

Students will receive communications about the summer tuition rates in early April, with campus staff receiving information beforehand. The Cost & Tuition Rates webpage will be updated with the summer tuition rates in early April as well. A note will be included in the course schedule to denote high-demand classes.

Yes, summer visiting or transient students will be similarly billed at Texas resident or non-Texas resident rates, according to their residency status.

The asynchronous, high-demand classes will be offered in multiple sessions, based on instructor and department preference.

All undergraduate summer classes (excluding the high-demand courses) will be offered at 75% of the fall/spring semester rates from the 2020-2021 academic year. Summer tuition for Texas residents will be 75% of the the fall/spring semester rates tuition rate for Texas residents; summer tuition for non-Texas residents will be 75% of the fall/spring semester rate for non-Texas residents.

Yes, the differential rate for colleges still applies for regular summer classes (non-high-demand classes). High-demand classes will be charged at the same rate ($500 for Texas residents, $2000 for non-Texas residents) regardless of the college in which a student is enrolled.

The university intends to exempt the summer tuition for May term courses for resident and non-resident undergraduate students enrolled in 12 semester credit hours or more in the spring term. If a student does not qualify for the May term benefit, a May term course is billed at the summer tuition rates.

To be eligible for the May term benefit, a student must:

• Have taken 12 semester credit hours or more in spring 2021 and register for a specified May term course in summer 2021
• Be an undergraduate student
• Be a resident or non-resident; traditional and fixed tuition students

Some education abroad classes are still being offered either as in-person education abroad classes or virtual education abroad experiences. May term class options are listed in the summer course schedule for 2021 and can be accessed here. Students who have questions about May term education abroad classes should contact Texas Global or their college office.
