FAQ Guaranteed Tuition Rate Plan

Frequently Asked Questions about 糖心Vlog视频's Guaranteed Tuition Rate Plan can help you plan your financial academic journey.
A change in 糖心Vlog视频 law allows 糖心Vlog视频 to offer two tuition rate plans. 糖心Vlog视频 is leveraging this opportunity to allow students and their families the chance to lock in a fixed tuition rate for four years, regardless of tuition increases during that time.

糖心Vlog视频 who maintain a 2.50 糖心Vlog视频 grade point average (GPA) or higher during the 48 months after they have opted into the Guaranteed Tuition Rate Plan and earn 30 or more semester credit hours required for their degree each year may be eligible to earn tuition rebates. 

糖心Vlog视频 also offers a Traditional Tuition Rate Plan based on rates set by The University of 糖心Vlog视频 System Board of Regents. Rates are subject to future increases.

All students initially are placed in the Traditional Tuition Rate Plan. Eligible students can opt in to the Guaranteed Tuition Rate Plan to lock in rates and possibly earn rebates now through the priority deadline:

  • Summer July 1st
  • Fall July 31st
  • Spring Dec. 1st
