Tuition Freeze for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 Academic Years

Governor Abbott's Directive: On November 13, 2024, Governor Abbott issued a letter to public universities instructing them to take all steps to reduce the financial burden on students and their families.
Tuition Freeze: In line with the 2023 Texas Legislature’s legislation (88th regular session), which prevented increases in undergraduate tuition and fees for Texas residents for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 academic years, the Governor has extended this freeze to include the 2025-26 and 2026-27 academic years.
Variable Rate Tuition: For students enrolled in or selecting a Variable Rate Tuition Plan, tuition rates will remain unchanged through the end of the 2026–2027 academic year. Rates may change thereafter if the freeze is not extended.
Deadline to Select Tuition Rate Plan Unchanged: Students enrolling at Texas A&M for the first time in a Fall or Spring semester may change the tuition rate plan selection through the 5th class day. Students enrolling for the first time in Summer may select or change a rate plan selection through the 4th class day. Once these deadlines have passed, further changes to the plan selection are not allowed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: I selected the Locked Rate Tuition Plan  in a previous semester, and now I want to switch to the Variable Rate Tuition Plan because of the tuition freeze. Can I make this change?

A: No, once you select a tuition rate plan, you are committed to it for a guaranteed period determined by your specific college and/or major. Students cannot switch between Locked and Variable Rate plans after their selection deadline has passed.

Q: Why can't I switch my tuition plan?

A: The Governor’s directive aims to prevent tuition increases for students on Variable Rate plans, as well as for incoming students selecting Variable through 2026-2027. It does not apply to students on Locked Tuition Plans. 

Q: I am on a Variable Rate Tuition Plan, if the tuition freeze ends, can I switch to a Locked Rate Plan?

A: No. Once you select a tuition rate plan, you are committed to it for a guaranteed period determined by your specific college and/or major. After the standard duration for your degree, your plan will switch to a Variable Tuition Rate, no matter which option you initially chose.
