Tuition and Fees

Guaranteed Tuition Rate

Effective Fall 2014, state law HB 29 required all public institution in Texas to offer guaranteed tuition plan for Undergraduate resident students. 

Texas A&M University-Kingsville elected to include both resident and non-resident undergraduate students in the tuition plans. 

New undergraduate students are placed into a new Guaranteed Tuition plan (JPAK) of the current academic year. Transfer students are placed into 1 of 4 active JPAKs based on their earned credit hours that transfer into the university. 

For transfer students, the guaranteed tuition rates are not guaranteed based on your tenure at this particular University but rather guaranteed on the basis of the life of your undergraduate career. Therefore, time and hours spent before transferring to TAMUK will impact the JPAK upon entrance and determined its longevity. 

Variable Tuition Rate

Beginning Fall 2016, new undergraduate students can choose to enter a 1-year variable tuition rate plan rather than the guaranteed tuition plan. Unlike the guaranteed rate plan, this variable-rate plan will adjust every year based on the Higher Education Price Index. 

Students will be able to change their tuition rate plan during their first-semester enrollment and can only make the switch once during their academic career at TAMUK.
