Each semester, current students register for classes for the next semester.

Registration at the University is a process that includes:

1. Academic advising with a faculty or staff member, which is required for some majors, but optional for others
2. Registering for classes online
3. Paying a tuition bill or confirming attendance

Don't use software to grab classes. The university will not allow the use of vendor software or other automated programs to register, or to add and drop. This is a violation of the University's Acceptable Use Policy. If you do, you may be blocked from registering.

And get your UT student ID at the ID Center located on the ground floor of the Flawn Academic Center (FAC) Mon thru Fri from 8a to 6p. (Bring a photo ID, like a driver's license or passport.) The cost of the card is $10. Payment is due within one month and can be made at the cashiers in Main 8 or online at What I Owe. Continuing students do not have to go to the ID center each semester. The card's magnetic strip is validated when the semester’s tuition is paid.

Still stuck?

Payment plans

The installment plan is not available in summer. Full payment or confirmation of attendance must be received no later than the payment deadline in the registration sequence table or as instructed at the time of registration.

Methods of payment

Electronic Bank Payment. There are two options available for paying online directly from your bank account. To select either option, go to My Tuition Bill online. Electronic payments that are returned to the University, regardless of the reason, will be treated the same as returned checks. Tuition and financial bars cannot be paid by electronic funds if you have a "no personal check" restriction with Student Accounts Receivable.

• eCheck. You may pay online just as though you were using a traditional paper check. No authorization form is required. This option does not require an upgraded EID and can be used by anyone acting as an eProxy.
• Electronic Funds Transfer. Students may pay by direct transfer of funds from their bank using a pre-established account if they have completed an Electronic Funds Transfer Authorization form. Authorizations may be completed online. This method of payment is not available to parents.

Credit Card. Go to My Tuition Bill online to charge the total amount due to your MasterCard, Discover, Visa, or American Express card.

If payment is approved, the registration system will give you an authorization code confirming the transaction. A 2.3% convenience charge will be added to all tuition and mandatory fee payments made by credit card.

Check or money order. All checks must be drawn on US banks in US dollars. Collection charges resulting from checks drawn otherwise will be charged to the student. All checks must be made payable to "The University of Texas at Austin" and must include the student's name and EID on the check.

When requesting payment from 529 accounts, owners must allow time for the 529 company to process the check and mail it to the University following the payment guidelines below. (It can take 3-4 weeks before the University receives this type of payment.)

Checks may be presented to the cashiers in MAI 8 or may be mailed to one of the addresses listed below.  Please note, the PO Box is for US Postal Service only and the physical address is for commercial courier service only. Your payment must be received and posted to your tuition bill by the payment deadline or your registration will be canceled. Make checks payable to The University of Texas at Austin and include your UT EID on the check. Checks should be written for the full amount of tuition due as displayed on My Tuition Bill.  If payment is from multiple sources, checks should be sent together to ensure proper posting.

If mailing checks by US Postal Service, including Express Mail, mail to

The University of Texas at Austin

Student Accounts Receivable

PO Box 7398

Austin TX 78713-7398

It is critical that you do not mail a check to the commercial courier address below through the US Postal Service.

Payments sent through a commercial courier such as FedEx, DHL and UPS, should be addressed to:

The University of Texas at Austin

Student Accounts Receivable K5308

110 Inner Campus Dr Main 4

Austin TX 78712

If your check is returned to the University, your registration will be incomplete. If payment is not received within ten calendar days of the returned check notice, you will not be registered for classes.

Cash. Do not mail cash payments. Cash payments must be presented to the Bursar (Cashier) Office in MAI 8 no later than 5:00 PM on the payment deadline date.

Tuition loan. You may apply for tuition loans online. An upgraded EID and password are required to create the promissory note and electronically "sign." Students who have not upgraded their UT EIDs may apply for a loan and then go to the Bursar (Cashier) Office in MAI 8 by 4:30 PM the same day or the next business day (but by 5:00 PM on the payment deadline) to sign a promissory note and complete registration. You will be required to present a photo ID. Questions concerning tuition loans should be directed to Student Accounts Receivable, (512) 475-7779 (option 2).

Zero bill. If your tuition is zero, you must complete the registration process by clicking the "Confirm Attendance" button before the payment deadline. If a third party, such as a Texas prepaid tuition plan, pays your tuition bill in full, you must still confirm your attendance before the payment deadline. You may do this via My Tuition Bill online. For additional information contact Student Accounts Receivable at (512) 475-7777, (option 1).

If you do not plan to attend classes, do not confirm and your registration will be canceled; Student Accounts Receivable will not bill the agency or account for your tuition if your registration is canceled. If you have confirmed and then choose not to attend, you must follow normal withdrawal procedures.

Financial aid. If you are eligible to pay all your tuition bill with your financial aid, you must complete your registration process by clicking the "Pay with Financial Aid" button via My Tuition Bill by the payment deadline.

Questions about eligibility or the Pay with Financial Aid button should be directed to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.

If you are eligible for financial aid and choose to have registration charges paid directly from your financial aid account by the payment deadline, you will be tentatively registered. You must check your CASH page, Status Requirements, to ensure there is nothing "required". If, for any reason, the expected financial aid is not available to pay all of your tuition bill by the twelfth class day (fourth class day summer), you must make other arrangements to pay your bill in full by that date.

All non-UT Scholarships are processed by the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. Scholarship payments should be made payable to The University of Texas at Austin and include the student's name and EID to ensure proper posting.  Non-UT scholarship checks should be mailed to:

Final exam policies

See http://registrar.utexas.edu/students/exams/policies

Index of (default) final exam times

All classes default into a final exam time based on the index of final exam times. Your assigned final exam time may differ from the default.

Not all classes hold final exams. Check your class syllabus to see whether or not there will be a final exam for your class.

Some departments test all students in multiple classes at the same time (“Uniform” or "Departmental" exams). Uniform exam times may differ from the default, and are not offered in the summer term.

Contact your instructor or department for specific class information.

Faculty and students should not plan to travel until after the last university final exam day.

First-term Final exam days

Friday, July 12–Saturday, July 13

Nine-week Final exam days

Wednesday, July 31–Thursday, August 1

Second- and Whole term Final exam days

Saturday, August 17-Monday, August 19

Final examinations for classes that begin at days or times not listed above default to the closest standard class beginning time. For example:

• T 3:00pm–6:00pm classes default to the same exam time as TTH 3:30pm–5:00pm classes.
• TTH 1pm-2:30pm classes default to the same exam time as TTH 12:30pm-2pm classes.

If the beginning time of the class is exactly halfway between two standard class beginning times, the class defaults to the later time. For example:

• WF 2:30–4:00 PM classes default to the same exam time as MWF 3:00pm–4:00pm classes.
• TTH 1:15pm-2:45pm classes default to the same exam time as TTH 2:00pm-3:30pm classes.

Final examination policies

See http://registrar.utexas.edu/students/exams/policies

Submission of grades to registrar.

Faculty are required to submit grades according to the following schedule and policies:

Final grades for classes that have regularly scheduled meeting times but no final examinations are due at the same time they would have been if examinations had been scheduled.

Final grades should be submitted online by the instructor of record by going to Grade Reporting. Online grade submission is available at all times during grade reporting.

Grade reports to students.

Grade reports are available to all students, except students in the School of Law, at the end of each semester and summer session.

The following information is not intended to be comprehensive and is subject to change. Tuition, fees, and charges are subject to change by administrative, legislative, or regental action, and changes become effective on the date enacted. The following information should be used only as a guideline for estimating costs. For clarification of any matter relating to payment or refund of tuition, fees, charges, and deposits, contact the office or administrative unit from which the charge or refund originated, or consult the General Information catalog online.

A student must complete their registration process by the deadline by making a payment, clicking the 'Pay with Financial Aid' button, or by clicking the 'Confirm Attendance' button if the amount due is zero. Registrations that are not complete by the payment deadline will be canceled, and students will not have access to University services.  Students who do not complete their registration process by the payment deadline and lose their classes may incur a late registration fee when they re-register.

Flat rate tuition for undergraduate students

The flat rate tuition for each college covers the student’s academic program costs including tuition, mandatory fees and charges, and college and course incidental fees. It does not include the general property deposit, the international student health insurance program fee, the international student orientation fee, the independent study and research fee, or fees for extended trips that require students to live off campus.

The flat rates are based on the average per-hour charges for tuition and fees previously paid by students in each college. Because fees previously varied, flat rate tuition varies by college. There is no restriction on the number of hours a full-time student may take when registered at the full-time rate, as long as the student complies with the quantity of work rule given in the General Information catalog.

Students who pursue simultaneous majors in more than one college are charged the higher of the two colleges’ rates.

Longhorn Fixed Tuition is an optional tuition program only available to undergraduate students enrolling at The University of Texas at Austin for the first time. For four consecutive academic years students will pay a fixed tuition rate each semester. Fixed tuition rates are higher than traditional rates because they are based on the projected average of flat rate tuition over the next four years. The cost of tuition between the Traditional and Longhorn Fixed tuition rates is not the same. For a comparison of Longhorn Fixed and Traditional tuition rates, go to the tuition calculator.  As with traditional flat rate tuition, the fixed tuition amount will vary depending on the school in which the student is enrolled as well as the number of credit hours in which the student is enrolled. For more information and eligibility requirements, see the Longhorn Fixed Tuition website.  Students must enroll by the 12th class day (4th class day of a summer session) of their first semester in attendance to participate in Longhorn Fixed Tuition. Changes to the selection must be made by the 12th class day (4th class day of a summer session).

Students who do not enroll in the Longhorn Fixed Tuition program will default to Traditional flat rate tuition.  Flat rate tuition for each college is available on Student Accounts Receivable's Tuition and Fee Rates page under the Undergraduate Flat-Rate Tuition link and the Undergraduate Longhorn Fixed Tuition link. After selecting classes, the student may view his or her tuition and fee bill at the My Tuition Bill site.

Flat rate tuition for graduate, law, and professional students

Graduate, law, and professional students are charged flat rate tuition for the college in which they are enrolled.  Each tuition rate covers the student's academic program costs, including tuition, mandatory fees and charges, and college and course incidental fees. It does not include the general property deposit, the international student health insurance program fee, the international student orientation fee, the independent study and research fee, or fees for extended trips that require students to live off campus.

Students enrolled in joint degree programs are charged a flat rate tuition that is proportional to the number of hours taken in each program.

Flat rate tuition for each college is available on the Tuition and Fee Rates page under the Graduate and Professional Tuition link. After selecting classes, the student may view his or her tuition and fee bill at the My Tuition Bill site.

Nonresident tuition for resident students

Because the University is a state-assisted institution, tuition rates are lower for Texas-resident students than for nonresidents, including both out-of-state and international students. Rules affecting residency are given in "Residency Regulations" in the "Admissions" section of the General Information catalog. In the following circumstances, a student who is classified as a Texas resident may be charged nonresident tuition.

Undergraduates. State law allows colleges and universities to charge a Texas-resident undergraduate the nonresident tuition rate if the student has attempted an excessive number of hours beyond the number required for his or her degree. In addition, a higher tuition rate may be charged if a student enrolls again in a course he or she has completed. 

As of the current academic year, the University does not charge undergraduates additional tuition for an excessive number of hours or for repeated courses.

Graduate students. A student who has earned more than ninety-nine semester hours of credit at the doctoral level is subject to the nonresident tuition rate, even if the student is a Texas resident or holds an appointment that would normally entitle the holder to pay resident tuition. This policy, sometimes called the Ninety-Nine Hour rule, is authorized by section 54.012 of the Texas Education Code. More information about charges for excessive graduate coursework is available online from the Office of Graduate Studies  or via phone at (512) 471-4511.

Tuition Exemptions

Tuition exemptions are issued only for the period in which a student is currently enrolled; therefore, unless otherwise stated, applications must be submitted each semester no later than the date of Commencement at the end of the spring semester or the official graduation date at the end of the summer session or fall semester.

Senate Bill 1210 (83rd Texas Legislature, Regular Session) adds a grade point average requirement for persons to receive continuation awards through the program. The bill also establishes a limit to the total number of hours, cumulatively, that a student may take and continue to receive awards through this program. These changes went into effect in Fall 2014.

Tuition Waivers

A waiver allows for a portion of a student’s tuition not to be paid. The student is responsible for payment of the remaining tuition not covered by the waiver. Waivers are issued only for the period in which a student is currently enrolled; therefore, applications must be submitted each semester no later than the date of Commencement at the end of the spring semester or the official graduation date at the end of the summer session or fall semester.

Third-Party Billing

Arrangements must be made in advance with the Student Accounts Receivable Office, Main Building Room 4.

Fee adjustments

Refunds are applied to any current and outstanding debts owed to the University before becoming available to the student. Section 54.006(d) of the Texas Education Code requires that the University refund tuition and fees paid by a sponsor, donor, or scholarship to the source, rather than directly to the student, if the funds were made available through the University.

Refunds for students withdrawing from the University

Students who withdraw from the University receive a refund of a percentage of their tuition. The percentage varies according to the student’s effective withdrawal date:

Withdrawal refunds are based on the student’s schedule as of the effective date of withdrawal and the amount of tuition that has been paid; adds and drops are included in the calculation. In some cases, a student may receive two refund checks, one based on dropped courses and one based on withdrawal percentages for remaining courses.

Students withdrawn by the University because of a returned check are assessed a $25 service charge and a $15 matriculation fee. A student withdrawn by the University for scholastic reasons, class cancelations, or other reasons receives a full refund of fees paid that semester; the matriculation fee is not charged.

A student who withdraws as a result of being called to active military service may choose to receive a refund of tuition and fees. For further information please check the General Information catalog.

A student who withdraws after receiving any cash payment from the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid may be required to make full or partial repayment. Funds received through the Federal College Work-Study Program are not subject to repayment. Students should contact the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid for information regarding repayment obligations.

Student Accounts Receivable initiates refunds for all eligible students who submit approved withdrawal petitions to the Office of the Registrar. A refund is issued no earlier than thirty days after the date the student paid the initial tuition and fee bill. The refund is mailed to the student’s local address or deposited into the account the student has designated if an electronic funds transfer authorization is in effect. Additional information can be found in the General Information catalog.

Adjustments for added and dropped classes

Applicable charges for added classes must be paid by the end of the twelfth class day in the fall and spring semesters and by the end of the fourth class day in the summer. Nonpayment of tuition for added classes will result in the cancelation of the student's entire registration. Students can determine the amount owed by visiting the My Tuition Bill site.

A full refund of tuition overpayment will be issued if a class is dropped within the following time frames: (1) during the first twelve class days in a fall or spring semester; (2) during the first twelve class days of a whole-session class in the summer session; or (3) during the first four class days of a first-term, second-term, or nine-week class in the summer session. No refunds are made for classes dropped after these dates. Tuition bills are recalculated and refunds, if applicable, are issued the week after the drop period ends. Refunds are mailed to the student’s local address or deposited into the account the student has designated if an electronic funds transfer authorization is in effect. The student may contact Student Accounts Receivable at (512) 475-7777 to verify account information.

Tuition rebates for certain undergraduates

Undergraduate students enrolled in the Traditional Tuition program may be eligible for a tuition rebate of up to $1,000, and students enrolled in the Longhorn Fixed Tuition program may be eligible for an additional $2,500 rebate.  Students are required to apply for a tuition rebate prior to graduation. For eligibility requirements, please see the tuition rebate web page.
