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 transfer 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.
