Tuition
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 non-resident 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.
The tuition rate for resident and non-resident students is:
Texas resident: $50 per SCH
Non-Texas resident: $470 per SCH
A designated tuition fee of $30.00 per semester credit hour is also charged for both resident and non-resident students.
