Tuition Recommendations
for 2012-13 and 2013-14

Pursuant to state law, The University of Texas System Board of Regents (the Board) is authorized to set tuition. The Board will consider proposed tuition and fee increases at its May 2012 meeting. The rates in these 2012–13 tuition tables are based on the tuition proposal submitted by UT Austin and represent the maximum tuition that could be charged. The tuition rates for the 2012–13 academic year will be finalized after the Board’s May action. Your estimated tuition bill will be available at that time. Your actual tuition bill will be distributed in late July 2012. Your registration will not be completed until your tuition bill has been paid.
