Tuition and Fees: For
2005-06, typical tuition and required fees for 9 credit hours (the normal
load for graduate students with a half-time assistantship) are $2,700 for Texas residents and
$5,800 for nonresidents. Students employed half-time or more on a
graduate assistantship are eligible for the resident tuition rate.
Their spouses are also eligible for the resident tuition rate. As
noted in the description of financial aid, assistantships include payment
of tuition and required fees. Usually the payment is made directly on
the student's behalf, although in some cases (especially the first
semester) the students must pay the tuition and fees at the first of the
semester and subsequently receive a reimbursement during the semester.
Living Expenses:
Housing and other living costs in Austin are
moderate. With roommates, the cost can be significantly less.
Affordable housing exists within walking distance of campus or is
accessible by UT Austin's 12 shuttle bus routes which interconnect with the
city's extensive bus system. Because parking on campus is limited, it
is advantageous for graduate students to live either within walking or
biking distance of campus or to live on a shuttle bus route. The
University has some residence halls with areas for graduate students.
In addition, apartments for married students are conveniently located on a
UT Austin shuttle bus route. Information on University housing is
available from the UT
Housing Office. Additional information on housing in Austin can
