Financial Information
Immediately upon acceptance of an offer of admission, the student pays a non-refundable placement guarantee/orientation fee. Failure to pay the fee results in forfeiture of the offer of admission.
To enable the student to approximate tuition and fee expenses, an estimated average cost per semester is provided by TTUHSC Student Business Services based on the academic (Fall, Spring, Summer) school year. Be aware the figures are estimates. Access Student Business Services website to see tuition estimates here: 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. Further questions regarding tuition and fees should be directed to the TTUHSC Student Business Services Office at (806)743-7867. Due dates and payment information can be found at http://www.fiscal.ttuhsc.edu/studentbusserv/.

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.
