Frequently Asked Questions: Tuiton and Fees

Tuition and Fees

What are the utility fees and why am I being charged for it?
A temporary utility fee will be assessed to help provide payment for the rising costs of utility fees. This fee will be assessed to each student per semester for the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 Academic Years.
Why am I being charged supplemental designated tuition fees?
Supplemental designated tuition fees that appear on your account are part of mandatory tuition. Some schools within the university have higher tuition rates than others. Students taking classes from these schools will be assessed the supplemental designated tuition fee listed on the tuition and fees schedule. A complete list of all tuition and school or class related fees may be found at http://finance.utdallas.edu/bursar/schedule-introduction.html.
Why did I get assessed a late fee for adding a class?
If you are adding a class after your payment deadline has passed, the charge for that class is due in full the day you register for it. If you add a class to your schedule and do not pay the same day you will be assessed a $100 late fee.
How can I be classified as a resident for tuition purposes?
