Through the University’s Tuition Guarantee Plan, newly enrolled full-time and part-time undergraduate students (freshmen, transfer students, undergraduate students-at-large) seeking their first bachelor's degree are guaranteed their same initial tuition rate for four consecutive academic years. (This guarantee does not apply to fees. Fees may increase during this four-year period.)

Students who qualify for the Tuition Guarantee Plan also qualify for two additional years of guaranteed tuition, but at a different rate than under the four-year guarantee. During the two-year extension, students are billed the tuition rate that had been set by the University during the academic year following their initial enrollment.

For example, a student whose first semester is Fall 2024 will be billed the tuition rate set for the 2024-2025 academic year for four years. If the student does not graduate by Summer 2028 (i.e., four academic years after first enrolling), he or she will be billed the 2025-2026 academic year’s tuition rate for new students for the fifth and sixth academic years.

Students who withdraw from the University for any reason (other than being called for active military service) and who re-enroll within their four-year tuition guarantee period will resume the tuition guarantee until the end of the fourth year.

Students who withdraw from the University and do not re-enroll within the continuous four-year period of their tuition guarantee, but then re-enroll in the fifth or sixth year, will be eligible for the extension to the tuition guarantee plan. In other words, their rate of tuition will be that of the academic year following their first enrollment, until the conclusion of the sixth year from the point of initial enrollment.

Students who withdraw from the University and who do not re-enroll within the four-year tuition guarantee period or the fifth or sixth year of the extension to the guarantee must submit a new admission application. If admitted, the students will be billed the tuition rates for newly enrolled students for their academic year of re-enrollment.

Special consideration may be given to students who withdraw from the University because they have been called for military service.
