Fixed Tuition

North Carolina A&T State University is implementing the Fixed Tuition Program as required by North Carolina General Statute § 116-143.9. Effective with the fall 2016 semester, tuition rates at all UNC institutions will be fixed for eight consecutive semesters for all resident bachelor’s degree-seeking freshmen. Tuition rates for other currently enrolled resident undergraduates and eligible transfer students will be fixed for an appropriate number of consecutive semesters.

Eligibility for Fixed Tuition

A student must remain continuously enrolled at the constituent institution during the entire tuition period to receive this benefit. Continuous Enrollment is defined as a student being consecutively enrolled at North Carolina A&T State University for the fall and spring semesters in courses creditable toward a baccalaureate degree.

The eligibility period begins for first-time or transfers students upon enrolling at North Carolina A&T State University for the fall or spring semester as a degree-seeking undergraduate. Semesters in which students completely withdraw from the institution before the tenth day of the term will not be counted in the designated fixed-tuition time period. Semesters in which students completely withdraw from the institution after the tenth day of the term will be counted in the designated fixed-tuition time period.

A break in enrollment occurs when a student is not enrolled during consecutive semesters at North Carolina A&T State University. Students are not required to be enrolled during the summer term(s) to maintain continuous enrollment.

Transfer Students and Fixed Tuition

Eligible transfer students will receive fixed tuition for a prorated time period, based on credits accumulated at the transferring institution(s). Students transferring between UNC institutions but maintaining continuous enrollment will be subject to the transfer student policy.

The following categories of students are not eligible for the Fixed Tuition Program. They will be billed based on the current year’s rate as approved by the North Carolina General Assembly:

  • Non-resident students
  • Graduate students
  • Continuing Education students

  • The consortium, or Dual-Enrollment program
  • Second-degree-seeking students
  • Readmitted students who are not granted an appeal
  • Non-degree seeking students

Five Year Program
Any program authorized by the Board of Governors to require 135 semester credit hours or more is officially designated as a five-year baccalaureate program. First-time students seeking a baccalaureate degree in five-year programs will be eligible for fixed tuition for 10 consecutive academic semesters, not including summer sessions.

Waivers for Fixed Tuition
Students who have interrupted continuous enrollment may petition for a waiver to retain initial fixed tuition under the following conditions: (1) military service obligation, (2) serious medical debilitation, or (3) short or long-term disability.
