As part of the Fall 2020 planning process, the UT course schedule will continue to change as we head into the fall. These changes may affect the instructional mode, instructor, time or location of some classes. We strongly encourage you to review your course schedule regularly throughout the rest of the summer for additional updates. All students can make changes to their schedules through July 31.

Don’t forget to use the UT Planner!  The UT Planner, an online class schedule planning tool for students, was implemented a few years back for all students to utilize!  The planner allows students to search for, create, and save a variety of personalized schedule options based on their preferred courses and scheduling breaks. Additionally, the UT Planner gives students the ability to compare up to four schedule options at a time based on their availability during the day.

The UT Planner is a planning tool only, and students must still register at their designated registration times via the online registration system.

When multiple timelines are displayed, typically the first timeline is the lecture, and the other timelines are the required discussion or lab. Students must attend all listed times. (Classes may meet on additional days not noted in the meeting times. Check the syllabus or class details page for this information.)

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.

Three-payment installment plan. Tuition and required fees may be paid in three installments. The first installment consists of:

• A nonrefundable $15 service charge
• The full amount of any applicable fees such as:
  • The general property deposit
  • Late registration fees
  • International fees

The first installment is due by the deadline specified in the registration sequence table or as instructed at the time of registration. No late initial installment payments will be accepted; failure to pay the first installment by the due date will result in cancelation of registration. The installment plan is not available to students who register after the 12th class day or those who have paid their tuition with financial aid.

By selecting the three-payment installment plan you agree to pay the remaining tuition and fees on time. A $25 late charge is assessed for second and third installment payments received after the due date. If you select the installment plan and subsequently receive a financial aid award, your total tuition and fees will be deducted from your award at the time of disbursement.

Direct any questions about tuition bills to Texas One Stop. E-mail inquiries may be sent to onestop@utexas.edu

Methods of payment

Electronic Payment. There are two options available for paying online directly from your bank account. To select either option visit My Tuition Bill. 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. You may pay by direct transfer of funds from your bank using a pre-established account if you have completed an Electronic Funds Transfer Authorization form. Authorizations may be completed online. This payment method requires an upgraded EID and cannot be used by anyone acting as an eProxy.
• Credit Card. Go to My Tuition Bill to pay with MasterCard, Discover, Visa, or American Express. A convenience fee of 2.3% will be charged at the time of payment for all tuition and mandatory fee payments made by credit card. (Rate is subject to change.)

If payment is approved, the registration system will give you an authorization code confirming the transaction.

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.

Checks must be mailed. Your payment must be received and posted 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. Multiple checks must be sent together to ensure proper account posting. All checks must be drawn on a bank within the United States of America. 

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

Checks mailed using US Postal Service, including Express Mail overnight delivery, should be mailed to

The University of Texas at Austin

Student Accts Receivable

PO Box 7398

Austin TX 78713-7398

Checks sent using a commercial courier service, including FedEx and UPS, should be sent to

The University of Texas at Austin,

Student Accts Receivable Main 4

110 Inner Campus Dr. Stop K5308

Austin TX 78712-1669

Please contact the Texas One Stop regarding outside (non-UT) scholarships, as Student Accounts Receivable cannot process outside scholarship checks.

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 do not have an upgraded EID should contact the ITS Help Desk, help@its.utexas.edu, for instructions on how to do a temporary EID upgrade. Questions concerning tuition loans should be directed to Texas One Stop.

If your payment is returned to the University, for any reason, 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. For additional information regarding returned payments and charges assessed please see Student Accounts Receivable Returned Checks.

Zero bill. If your tuition is zero, you must still confirm your attendance before the payment deadline. If a third party, such as the Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan, pays your tuition bill you must confirm attendance before the payment deadline. You may do this via My Tuition Bill. For additional information contact Texas One Stop. If you do not plan to attend classes do not confirm attendance and we will cancel your registration. Student Accounts Receivable will not bill the agency, scholarship, or account for the fees. If you have confirmed attendance and later choose not to attend you must follow normal withdrawal procedures.

Financial aid. If you are eligible to pay all of your tuition bill with your financial aid, you must do so by clicking the "Pay with Financial Aid" button on My Tuition Bill or pay any remaining balance by the payment deadline.

Questions about eligibility and financial aid awards should be directed to Texas One Stop.

If you are eligible for financial aid and choose to have charges paid directly from your financial aid account by the payment deadline, you will be tentatively registered. If the expected financial aid is not available to pay all of your tuition bill by the twelfth class day, you must make other arrangements to pay your bill in full by that date.

Students who elect to pay their tuition bill with financial aid are not eligible to change to the Installment Plan at a later time.

Index of (default) final exam times

Fall 2020 final exams will still be occurring as scheduled, however, as students will not be returning to campus after the Thanksgiving break, there will be no final exams offered on campus/in-person for Fall 2020. It will be the responsibility of your instructor to communicate the status of their final exam to their students and if a final exam is required.

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.

Contact your instructor or department for specific class information.

Final exam days

Thursday, December 10–Saturday, December 12

Monday, December 14–Wednesday, December 16

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

• T 3:00 pm–6:00 pm classes default to the same exam time as TTH 3:30 pm–5:00 pm classes.
• TTH 1 pm-2:30 pm classes default to the same exam time as TTH 12:30 pm-2 pm 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 pm–4:00 pm classes default to the same exam time as MWF 3:00 pm–4:00 pm classes.
• TTH 1:15 pm-2:45 pm classes default to the same exam time as TTH 2:00 pm-3:30 pm classes.

Uniform exams

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 all Uniform exams also hold an official makeup exam. Uniform and makeup exams are published as part of the final exam schedule.

When are final exam schedules available?

We publish the final exam schedule about a month before the end of the semester.

How do I look up published final exam schedules?

Securing Your Registration 

In order to secure your registration each semester by your deadline, please take one of the following actions on the My Tuition Bill site:

• Make a payment
• Click the "Pay with Financial Aid" button
• Click the "Confirm Attendance" button

Once your registration is complete, you will see a sentence on the My Tuition Bill site in green which states "your registration is complete and your courses are secure”. If you do not see this, you still have action to take. If you do not complete your registration process by your deadline, your entire registration will be canceled and you may incur late registration fees when you re-register.

Any balance on the My Tuition Bill site must be paid in full. If a student opts for the installment plan, they must sign the installment note prior to taking any other action on their tuition bill. Payments must before each installment deadline.

If you have a zero amount due, you must either click the "Confirm Attendance" or "Pay with Financial Aid" button on the My Tuition Bill site  by the payment deadline to complete your registration. Always remember, a zero bill does not mean zero responsibility. Failure to take action on your tuition bill by the deadline will result in canceled registration and denied University services.

Learn about our accepted methods of payment and our payment plans. If your registration is not complete by the steps described above by the payment due date, your registration will be canceled and you may incur a late registration fee to re-register.

Flat Rate Tuition for undergraduate students

The flat rate tuition for each college covers the tuition, mandatory fees and charges, and college and course incidental fees. It does not include the general property deposit, the international fees, 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. 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. Please note that this program is still flat rate tuition and is based on the number of hours a student enrolls in each semester. Initially, fixed tuition rates are 8% 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, visit Student Accounts Receivable's Tuition and Fee Rates page. For more information and eligibility requirements, see the Longhorn Fixed Tuition website.  Students must enroll and/or un-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 a student’s tuition program cannot be changed after that date.

Students who do not enroll in the Longhorn Fixed Tuition program will default to Traditional flat rate tuition. After selecting classes, the student may view their 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 tuition, mandatory fees and charges, and college and course incidental fees. It does not include the general property deposit, the international fees, 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. After selecting classes, the student may view their 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 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 their degree. In addition, universities are allowed to charge a higher tuition rate if a student enrolls again in a course they have completed. 

As of the current academic year, the University of Texas at Austin 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.

Tuition Exemptions

Tuition exemptions are issued only for the period in which a student is currently enrolled. 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 student’s official graduation date.

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.

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. Tuition waivers are issued only for the period in which a student is currently enrolled. 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 student’s official graduation date.

Third-Party Billing

Agencies outside the University may set up third-party billing arrangements that pay all or part of a student’s tuition bill. The student is responsible for any amount not covered by the third party. Arrangements must be made in advance with the Student Accounts Receivable Office.

Fee Adjustments and Refunds

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.= (i.e. third-party billing)

Withdrawals

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, including adds and drops, as of the effective date of withdrawal and the amount of tuition that has been paid.

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 (i.e. no other fees are assessed).

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 Texas One Stop may be required to make full or partial repayment. Students should contact Texas One Stop for information regarding repayment obligations. Funds received through the Federal College Work-Study Program are not subject to repayment.

Student Accounts Receivable initiates refunds for all eligible students who submit approved withdrawal petitions to the Office of the Registrar (these refunds are issued no earlier than 30 days after the date the student paid the initial tuition 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.

Adding and Dropping Classes

Applicable charges for added classes must be paid by the end of the 12th class day in the fall and spring semesters and by the end of the 4th 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 12th class day. Refunds are mailed to the student’s local address or deposited into the account the student has designated if an electronic funds transfer authorization (EFT) is in effect. The student may contact Texas One Stop 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 interested in the tuition rebate must begin their application process with the dean’s office of the college in which they are enrolled. For eligibility requirements, please see the tuition rebate web page.

COVID-19 RESPONSE:

Since the university is operating remotely during the spring and summer semesters, students will receive information from their academic department and advisors for instructions on how to connect with them and meet remotely for their advising needs for Summer and Fall 2020 registration.

The University of Texas at Austin views sound academic advising as a significant responsibility in educating students, supports orderly and timely progress toward a degree, and encourages effective academic advising campus-wide.

Academic advisers help students:

• develop intellectual potential
• explore educational opportunities and life goals
• learn about educational options, degree requirements, and academic policies and procedures
• clarify educational objectives
• plan and pursue programs consistent with abilities, interests, and goals
• use all resources of the University to best advantage
• stay up to date with current academic information
• promote progress toward educational goals

Students are responsible for:

• seeking academic advising
