Yes! We have two helpful plans our students will love. We believe cost shouldn’t be a barrier to earning a degree, so we’ve created these two plans to help ease the stress of tuition payments and last-minute enrollment: 

UTPB 3 (Current students) 

  • No down payment required! Pay only the $35 enrollment fee to enroll in classes. 
  • 3 payments of 33% of tuition balance are due on the 15th of each following month until 100% paid.  

Falcon 4 (New/incoming students) 

  • 25% down payment + $35 enrollment fee to enroll. 
  • 3 payments of 25% of remaining balance are due on the 15th of each following month until 100% paid.  

These payment plans are available to graduate, undergraduate, online, and campus-based UTPB students. We encourage you to take advantage of them! We want you to succeed no matter where you live or what stage of your educational journey you’re in. 

Additional plan benefits: 

  • Immediate approval  
  • Interest-free payments 
  • Year-round availability 

Visit our dedicated Payment Plan page for signup details and deadlines. 

All refunds are completed after the census date (this is the deadline by which all enrollment and payment arrangements must be finalized; see: Drop and Withdrawal Calendar). If students do not officially withdraw by the census date, they may remain liable to pay for the enrolled courses, even if not attending classes.

All drops or withdrawal actions must be initiated in writing by the student through the Registrar’s Office. A drop is defined as dropping one or more courses while remaining enrolled in other courses. A 100% refund is given for those hours dropped during late registration. A withdrawal is defined as dropping ALL courses. Drops and withdrawals become effective the date the written request, with all required signatures, is received by the Registrar’s Office. Please refer to the Student Accounts page for additional information on how to get a refund.

No, the guaranteed tuition rate only applies to incoming freshman and transfer students who enroll in an undergraduate degree program as an on-campus student.
