In-State and Out-of-State Tuition Information (including Academic Common Market)

Residents of the state of Tennessee and states within the Academic Common Market (ACM) pay in-state maintenance fees. Nonresidents of Tennessee and those outside the ACM taking online classes pay $75 more per credit hour for maintenance and out-of-state tuition. An agreement among states and participating colleges and universities allows students to pursue degrees at UT on an in-state tuition basis.

Academic Common Market States Include:

• Arkansas
• Delaware
• West Virginia

Notes:

• Maintenance fees (required by all students) are the in-state portion of tuition and serves as an enrollment or registration fee.

• Distance education students do not pay Program & Services, Facilities, or Transportation fees and may not enroll in an on-campus section of a course.
• If an online course has two sections, campus students must register for the section designated for campus and distance education students must register for the section designated for DE.
• Campus students enrolled part-time in a given semester may be charged additional fees based on the number of hours in which they are enrolled.
• Fees for part-time students are pro-rated and calculated based on the number of credit hours enrolled.
