Criteria

Students desiring to qualify for a tuition rebate are solely responsible for enrolling only in courses that will qualify them for the rebate.

A student will be eligible for a partial rebate of their undergraduate tuition if ALL the following criteria are met:

1. The student must not have enrolled at any institution of higher education before the Fall 1997 semester.

2. At the time they earn a first undergraduate degree, the student must have attempted* no more than three semester hours beyond the minimum number of hours required for the degree.

• Example: For a degree requiring 120 hours, students may not take more than 123 hours to remain eligible.
• Note: If you dropped more than one class throughout your undergraduate career, you are most likely ineligible. Check with your advisor.

Hours attempted* include:

• All courses the student has undertaken, such as transfer credit**, credit earned by examination***, study abroad courses****, courses the student dropped or from which the student withdrew after the date the official enrollment count was taken,
• Optional internship and cooperative education courses,
• Courses the student failed,
• Courses the student repeated.
• If the student has earned credit-by-exam for more than nine hours of coursework, the hours in excess of nine are also counted as hours attempted.

3. The student must have been a Texas resident and must have been eligible to pay resident tuition at all times while pursuing the degree.

4. For students who enroll for the first time in the fall 2005 or later, a student must graduate within four calendar years for a four-year degree.

• Example: Students graduating in Spring 2023 must have started at The University of Texas no sooner than Fall 2019 to be eligible.
