Tuition and Fees
Tuition is calculated based on the number of semester credit hours which the student registers. It is determined by the student’s classification as a Texas resident, a non-resident U.S. citizen or a nonresident who is a citizen of another country. Students also are responsible for paying several fees that support college services and programs. The tuition rate varies based upon the residency status of a student.
| Student Type | Rate |
|---|---|
| Texas resident | $50 per SCH |
| Non-Texas resident | $470 per SCH |
| Designated Tuition (Texas and Non-Texas Resident) | $30 per SCH |
