  3. Summary of TPAC Recommendations to President • Continue to target a total student population of 49,700 students. • Allow the 2-year Energy Fee to expire as originally planned. • Increase average resident undergraduate total cost by $318/semester (7.8%) fall 2008-09 and $303/semester (6.9%) fall 2009-10. Total Cost for resident graduate students will be increased similarly. • Establish a flat-rate tuition structure for graduate and professional students. • Continue an aggressive UT Grant financial aid set-aside program to provide aid to students of families earning up to $80,000/year.

  9. Historical Tuition Increases – Full-Time Undergraduate Resident Students In 2003, the Legislature initially proposed a $46/SCH tuition increase or $690 for 15 SCH. Ultimately, the Legislature passed deregulated tuition instead. Of the $779 increase in fall 2004, $690 would have come from a “catch up” by the Legislature.

About 56% of students receive some form of financial assistance.

  13. Graduate Flat Rate Tuition Revenue neutral: No matter how many hours a student takes, their tuition bill will not be significantly higher or lower under this plan than it would be in current system Not intended to change behavior: Undergraduate flat rate system provides an incentive for taking more credit hours – Graduate flat rate does not Greater transparency: Student will know ahead of time how much total bill will be, and so will the university More fair for dual degrees: Eliminates redundant fees
