Baylor University's Guaranteed Tuition Option offers students the opportunity to lock in a four-year tuition rate instead of paying the regular tuition rate, which is subject to increase annually. Participation in the Guaranteed Tuition Option eliminates uncertainty about the cost of tuition, and it allows students and families to prepare their educational budgets more accurately. 

2023-2024 Tuition Rates

Undergraduate students enrolling full-time (12 hours or more) in the Fall of 2023 will be charged one of the following tuition rates:

Students will be charged the regular tuition rate if no election is made. Undergraduate students who lock in the guaranteed rate but enroll in fewer than 12 hours in a fall/spring semester will pay an hourly rate of $2,405 per hour. Students who complete their undergraduate degree and continue their graduate studies at Baylor will also pay the hourly rate of $2,405 per hour during fall or spring semesters as long as it is still within the 48-month program period. The guaranteed hourly rate for summer terms is $1,608 per hour (first effective Summer 2022). Students in need of more than four years (48 months) to complete their Baylor education will be charged tuition at the University's regular rate in the fifth year and in any subsequent years.

Election to Participate

Election of the 2023-2024 Guaranteed Tuition Option will begin June 1, 2023 and the deadline to elect is July 31, 2023 (Fall due date). During the enrollment period, students may enroll by logging into BearWeb > Student Financial Services > Student Account > Guaranteed Tuition Option.

By electing to participate in the Guaranteed Tuition Option, students choose to pay a tuition rate which is initially higher than the regular rate. However, the guaranteed tuition rate is fixed and will not increase over the 48-month enrollment period. A student who graduates and continues his/her graduate studies at Baylor during the 48-month enrollment period will continue to be charged tuition at the guaranteed hourly rate during the period.

Cancellation

Enrollment in the Guaranteed Tuition Option may be canceled at any time by contacting Student Accounts. Notice received within the first two weeks of a semester will terminate the election effective that semester. When notice is received after the first two weeks of a semester, termination will become effective (and the student will be charged the regular tuition rate) beginning the following semester.

Historical Tuition Rates

Baylor University's regular tuition rates for the last several years are provided below:

*Note, the General Student Fee (GSF) was removed as a separate charge beginning with the 2021-22 academic year and was combined with the flat rate tuition amount. 

New rates for students who have elected GTO prior to the University combining the Tuition and General Student Fee*

*As a previous GTO student, you will benefit from having the General Student Fee frozen at the rate assessed for the 2020 - 21 academic year, which is $4,702 ($2,351 for Fall/Spring) for the remainder of your participation in the GTO program. As a result, the amount you will pay for the combined General Student Fee and tuition will not increase as you continue your studies at Baylor.

Your education is important. So are the dollars that you spend on tuition.

Each semester, thousands of college students across the nation are unable to complete their classes due to unforeseen medical issues. At Baylor, the timing of a withdrawal determines the refund percentage for tuition and fees (see our withdrawal refund policy). We understand medical hardships can quickly become financial hardships, which is why we are pleased to bring your attention to an insurance product offered to Baylor students by GradGuard.

Tuition Refund Insurance can help refund your tuition, fees, and other costs of attendance, up to the policy limits, if you are unable to complete the semester due to a covered medical reason such as an illness, accident, or mental health issue. Tuition Refund Insurance complements and enhances Baylor’s refund policy and helps protect your educational investment.

Purchasing tuition insurance is entirely optional. Whether you choose to purchase coverage (and at what level) will depend on your individual net cost and your personal risk appetite.

Please visit GradGuard.com/Tuition/Baylor for more information. To enroll, log in to the E-Bill System and follow the prompts.
