4 Texas Tech 3.95% increase University of North Texas 3.9% increase locked in for next 4 years UT Brownsville7.0% increase UT Tyler3.0% increase Texas A&M6.0% average increase What others are doing…

5 5 The Plan  Increase tuition and fees by 3%  Expand the Entering Student Fee to an on-going fee that provides additional resources to reduce time to degree and improve four-year graduation rates. The fee would apply only to students admitted for the fall 2014 semester or beyond. Increase number of advisors Develop a mentor program Expand tutoring services Create comprehensive financial literacy program

6 The Plan Entering Student Fee – paid first semester only and never again New Undergraduate Resident = $180 New Undergraduate International = $200 New Undergraduate Transfer = $150 New Fee – paid second semester and continues until graduation New Undergraduate Resident = $100 New Undergraduate International = $100 New Undergraduate Transfer = $100 All students admitted prior to Fall 2014 will be “grandfathered” and will not be assessed the fee.

7 The Plan  Implement an Excess Hours Tuition rate for students whose enrollment exceeds their degree requirements by 30 credit hours or more. In place at most Texas institutions Students would pay non-resident tuition rate once they have exceeded their degree requirements by 30 hours or more Would take place in January 2015 for Spring 2015 enrollment
