The rates below apply to undergraduate students who are residents of Texas and elect the guaranteed payment plan (GPP). The Guaranteed Price Plan (GPP) offers eligible students a fixed tuition and fee rate for four full years. There will be no tuition or mandatory fee rate increases for the duration of the plan. Each incoming first-time freshman class pays its unique guaranteed rate tuition for four years. Once the Guaranteed Price Plan expires student will pay the Traditional Price Plan in effect at that time.

Eligibility. Students who graduate from a Texas high school are first-time freshmen, regardless of the number of college or advanced placement credits earned. Also, students who transfer from any other post-secondary institution beginning Fall 2015. Students must be a Texas Resident.

Disclaimer. Tuition rates may be revised by the Legislature at any time. All tuition and fees are correct as of date of print but are subject to change by action of the State Legislature or by the Board of Regents of The Texas State University System. Out-of-state tuition is calculated each year by the Coordinating Board.

FAQs

  • How does it work?

    Eligible students who enroll in the Guaranteed Price Plan will pay a guaranteed tuition and mandatory fee rate, which will remain in effect for the first four years after the student is enrolled (12 consecutive semesters from the point of enrollment). Certain programs might have additional costs and non-mandatory fees could increase.

    Ex: Lab Fees, Music Fees, University Center fees, Distance Learning Fees, 3-Peat Tuition, 45 Hour Fee, parking fees and any other course fees are not covered under the Guaranteed Price Plan.
  • Why does it expire in four years?

    Most SHSU bachelor degree programs take four years to complete if a student takes an average of 15 hours a semester. Additionally, this time period is set by both Texas Statute and Texas State University System rule.

  • How long do I have to enroll in the Guaranteed Price Plan?

    Students have until the day before the 1st class day of their incoming semester to register for the Guaranteed Price Plan. Students who register for classes on or after the 1st class day will have until the 6th class day to enroll. Class days are University Class Days: not days the student attends class.
