Funding your Graduate Education

Tuition

UT Dallas offers the option of a variable tuition rate or a guaranteed tuition plan. Tuition and fee charges cap at the 12 credit hour rate under either plan. The Variable Tuition Plan will adjust each year and is the default plan for all entering students. All new students are eligible to lock in their tuition rate for four years by opting to the UT Dallas Guaranteed tuition Plan. For additional information about the Guaranteed Tuition Plan, please call the UT Dallas Bursar’s Office at 972-883-2612 or visit utdallas.edu/bursar.
