Important notes about tuition and fees
Every two years, The University of Texas at El Paso determines the tuition and fee rates for the next two years. For 2012-14, a committee primarily made up of UTEP students has recommended a tuition increase of 2.6 percent for in-state undergraduate students, and 3.6 percent for out-of-state undergraduate and all graduate students. These additional resources will be used to reduce students’ time to degree and improve graduation rates.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How will the money be used?
The additional money generated by an increase in tuition and fees will be used to expand course offerings, retain quality faculty, offer additional financial aid resources and further develop UTEP’s educational programs. A particular emphasis will be given to programs that reduce a student’s time to degree and improve four-year graduation rates.
2. Enrollment is growing each year, so doesn’t UTEP get more state funding as new students enroll?
Unfortunately, investment in higher education at the state level is not keeping pace with enrollment growth. Recent cuts to UTEP’s budget have hit hard. As enrollment grows, UTEP needs additional funds. More faculty members are needed to teach courses, and the demand for student services increases.
