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 on a Variable Rate Tuition Plan, or those selecting it as new students, their current tuition rate will remain unchanged for the next two years. However, students on a Variable Rate Plan may see changes to their rate after the two-year freeze ends.
  • Grace Period for New Students: Students enrolling for the first time at Texas A&M in the Spring 2025 semester have until 5:00 p.m. on January 17, 2025, to choose between a Locked Rate or Variable Rate Tuition Plan. Once this decision is made, it will be permanent.
  • No Changes for Current Students: The Governor’s freeze does not affect the tuition rate plan that student selected upon enrollment. Students who enrolled Fall 2024 or prior cannot change their chosen tuition rate plan.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: I selected a Locked Rate Tuition Plan last fall (2024), and now I want to switch to a Variable Rate Tuition Plan because of the Governor’s freeze. Can I make this change?  

A: No, once you select a tuition rate plan, it is locked in for the duration of your four years at Texas A&M. Students cannot switch between Locked and Variable Rate plans after their initial selection.

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 Rates over the next two years. It does not apply to students on Locked Tuition Plans. Once you choose your rate plan, you are committed to that plan for four years.

Q: I am on a Variable Rate Tuition Plan. After the two-year freeze (2025-26 and 2026-27), can I switch to a Locked Rate Plan?  

A: No. Once you select a tuition rate plan, you are locked into it for four years. After your four-year period, your plan will revert to a Variable Tuition Rate, regardless of your original selection.
