OVERVIEW: TUITION DEREGULATION AND TUITION SET ASIDES

OVERVIEW: TUITION DEREGULATION AND TUITION SET ASIDES

JULY 2018

BACKGROUND Prior to 2003, the Texas Legislature had the regulatory authority to set tuition rates, generally mandating that the same statutory and designated tuition rate be charged across the state. In 2003, the 78th Legislature passed House Bill (HB) 3015, amending Texas Education Code §54.0513 to allow governing boards of public universities to set different designated tuition rates. Tuition deregulation became effective September 1, 2003, and universities began increasing designated tuition in spring 2004.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the different types of tuition charged to students enrolled at a public university?

There are three types of tuition:

Statutory Tuition: An amount of tuition set in statute (Texas Education Code §54.051) that institutions must charge resident or nonresident undergraduate students. Currently, the university rate is set at $50 per semester credit hour (SCH) for resident students, with higher rates for nonresident students. Effectively, statutory tuition mandates a minimum amount of tuition to be charged per SCH, although students qualifying for certain statutorily defined tuition exemptions may be charged less or nothing at all.

Designated Tuition: Texas Education Code §54.0513 authorizes institutions of higher education other than public community colleges to impose on any undergraduate or graduate, resident or nonresident student, an additional tuition charge (i.e. in addition to statutory tuition) that the governing board of the institution considers necessary for the effective operation of the institution. This rate varies by institution.

In 2003 the 78th Texas Legislature passed House Bill (HB) 3015, allowing governing boards of public universities to set different designated tuition rates. There is no upper limit on the amount of designated tuition that a university may charge and the amounts may vary by program, course level, and academic period.

Board Authorized Tuition: A tuition charge authorized under Texas Education Code §54.008 for graduate programs. Institutions can set tuition at rates at least twice that of undergraduate tuition, and can set different rates among programs.

What other academic charges are paid by students?

In addition to statutory and designated tuition charges, all students are assessed certain fees:

Mandatory Fees are authorized by statute or by the governing board of an institution, and are charged to a student upon enrollment to provide services available to every student. Examples of such fees are library and laboratory fees, course and incidental fees collected under Texas Education Code §55.16(c), and other mandatory fees as authorized by the governing board of the institution.

Course Fees are mandatory fees required of all students enrolled in a particular course, such as materials for a chemistry lab, or a discretionary fee required of students in a given course, or for students participating in a special activity, such as a parking fee. This includes fees for state funded continuing education courses.

Total Academic Charges are the total of all tuition, mandatory, and course fee charges for a student taking a given number of SCHs. It does not include textbook or other education related costs not directly tied to institutional charges.

How much have tuition and fees increased since tuition deregulation?

From fall 2003 through fall 2017, the statewide average total academic charges for a student taking 15 SCHs at a public university has increased 138 percent (78 percent when adjusted for inflation).

How are universities held accountable for deregulated tuition?

The Legislature provided that, as a condition of tuition deregulation, each university shall make satisfactory progress towards the goals provided in its master plan for higher education as well as the state’s plan for higher education. HB 3015 and section 54.0515 require each university to meet acceptable performance criteria, including measures such as graduation rates, retention rates, enrollment growth, educational quality, efforts to increase diversity, opportunities for financial aid, and affordability.

What are tuition set-asides?

In 1975, the Texas Legislature created the Texas Public Educational Grant (TPEG) program to provide grant assistance to students with financial need. To fund this program, public institutions of higher education are required to “set-aside” a portion of the statutory tuition they collect from students in order to make TPEG awards. The set aside amount is 15 percent of resident statutory tuition at universities, state and technical colleges, and 6 percent of resident statutory tuition at community colleges. In FY17, approximately $177 million in financial aid was awarded through TPEG.

In deregulating tuition and allowing universities to set their own designated tuition rates, the Legislature also required universities to set-aside a portion of their designated tuition revenues for financial aid targeted to financially needy students.

Specifically, HB 3015 amended the Education Code by adding §§56.011 and 56.012, which require universities to set aside at least 15 percent of the amount of undergraduate and graduate designated tuition charged in excess of $46 per semester credit hour. This set aside is to be used to provide financial assistance for financially needy undergraduate or graduate students at the institution. In FY17, grant and scholarship aid awarded through HB 3015 set-asides totaled approximately $252 million.

Previously, institutions were also required to set aside an additional five percent of the undergraduate amount of designated tuition charged in excess of $46 per semester credit hour to

fund the B-On-Time (BOT) Loan Program. These funds were used to make zero-interest loans to qualifying students, with the provision that the loan was forgiven if the student graduated on-time and with a ‘B’ average. HB 700, 84th Texas Legislature, limited future BOT awards to students who had received a loan prior to the 2015-16 academic year and abolishes the program entirely in 2020. The five percent tuition set-aside was eliminated effective in fall 2015.

TEXAS HIGHER EDUCATION COORDINATING BOARD

TUITION AND FEES DATA The tuition and fee data reported on the following pages reflects the average amounts charged to resident undergraduate students enrolled in 15 semester credit hours (SCH) per semester at Texas public universities. Amounts reported include statutory tuition, designated tuition, average mandatory fees and average college course fees.

A student's actual charges may vary based on the student's classification and level of enrollment, the college the student attends within the university, the student's specific personal circumstances, or for other reasons deemed appropriate by the institution.

FOOTNOTES: * All data was reported under definitions for tuition and fees adopted January 2006 by the Coordinating Board.

(1) The University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley began reporting IFRS data Fall 2015. Data are no longer collected under the institution names of

The University of Texas-Pan American or The University of Texas at Brownsville. (2) University of North Texas - Dallas began reporting IFRS data Fall 2010.

DATA AMENDMENT:

NOTE: For the purposes of calculating the change in tuition and fees between Fall 2003 and Fall 2016, the statewide averages exclude those universities that did not exist in Fall 2003 (Texas A&M University-Central Texas, Texas A&M University-San Antonio, and the University of North Texas-Dallas).

Note: The bottom of each column is the average (excluding zeroes, if any).
