At UTRGV tuition caps at 12 hours per semester.
Extra classes are free!
UTRGV’s in-state tuition and fees cap at 12 hours per semester? That means any additional courses a student enrolls in after 12 hours are free. For example, if a student enrolls in 15 hours, the extra class is free. If a student enrolls in 18 hours, the two extra classes are free.
Check your registration status.
DID YOU KNOW... An incoming freshman who started in Fall 2015 and takes 15 hours per semester (excluding summer school) saves more than $7000 compared to a student taking 12 hours a semester, and graduates a full year earlier. All from taking just one more class a semester!
