Financial Information

Immediately upon acceptance of an offer of admission, the student pays a non-refundable $175 placement guarantee/orientation fee. Failure to pay the fee results in forfeiture of the offer of admission.

To enable the student to approximate expenses, the following table provides an estimated average cost per semester. This information is provided by the TTUHSC Student Business Services office. These estimates are based on the AY 2020-2021 (Fall, Spring, Summer) school year.

Please be aware the figures are only estimates. Students may also go online to the Student Business Services website to see updates to tuition at any time at http://www.fiscal.ttuhsc.edu/studentbusserv/tuitionestimates.aspx.

An installment plan, available for fall and spring terms only, charges an Installment Option Fee each semester to students utilizing the installment payment plan. No installment option is available for the summer semester due to the shortened semester length. Tuition is paid to TTUHSC.

Tuition for Repeated or Excessive Undergraduate Hours

The Texas Education Code – Section 54.014 states: “An institution of higher education may charge a resident undergraduate student tuition at a higher rate than the rate charged to other resident undergraduate students (not to exceed the rate charged to nonresident undergraduate students) IF: before the semester or other academic session begins, the student has previously attempted a number of semester credit hours for courses taken at any institution of higher education while classified as a resident student for tuition purposes that exceeds by at least 30 hours the number of semester credit hours required for completion of the degree program in which the student is enrolled. For purposes of this subsection, an undergraduate student who is not enrolled in a degree program is considered to be enrolled in a degree program or programs requiring a minimum of 120 semester credit hours, including minors and double majors, and for completion of any certificate or other special program in which the student is also enrolled, including a program with a study-abroad component. An institution of higher education that charges students tuition at a higher rate under this subsection may adopt a policy under which the institution exempts from the payment of that higher rate a student that is subject to the payment of the higher rate solely as a result of hardship as determined by the institution under the policy.”

Students who were enrolled as an undergraduate student in any institution of higher education prior to Fall 1999 are exempt from this rule. Also, students enrolled as undergraduate students prior to Fall 2006 may not be charged a higher rate of tuition until the number of semester hours previously attempted exceeds the number of hours required for the student’s degree program by 45 hours.
