Degree Plans - Undergraduate Advising

Per the course load policy outlined in the Academic Catalog, students that want to register for more than 19 semester credit hours in a fall/spring semester or 15 semester credit hours in the summer must have permission from the JSOM Associate Dean. JSOM students should review the JSOM policy (see “Maximum Course Load”) for requesting additional credit hours over the semester maximum course load.

To find information about how UTD determines your residency, please go to the University’s Residency Page.

Requirements for graduating with a degree from UTD can be found here. These requirements include completion of a minimum of 45 credit hours at UTD. You must also complete at least 24 of the last 30 hours at UTD. JSOM majors must complete at least 50% of their major courses at UTD. If you want to take courses off-campus, you must seek approval from JSOM undergraduate advisor before taking any courses outside of UTD.

If the course description does not specify that a minimum grade of C is required, you do not have to repeat the course.

  • Example of a course with a minimum grade requirement: MATH 1325 (MATH 1325) Applied Calculus I (3 semester credit hours) Prerequisite: ALEKS score required or a grade of at least a C- in MATH 1314. (3-0) S
  • Example – no minimum grade requirement: OPRE 3360 Managerial Methods in Decision Making Under Uncertainty (3 semester credit hours) Prerequisite: MATH 1325 or MATH 2413 or MATH 2417. (3-0) Y

No. Only courses taken at UTD will be calculated in a student’s cumulative or overall GPA. A student who wishes to repeat a course previously taken at UTD to improve a grade must repeat the course at UTD.

Financial Aid and Scholarships - Undergraduate Advising

Yes, the most common problem is that students delay applying and/or do not submit all the required documentation on a timely basis. Here is a list provided by the Financial Aid office with most common problems:

  • Not checking your UTD email for information or document requests from financial aid office: forward your UTD email to your personal email. This is true for the admissions process; please forward to your personal email or check your UTD email!
  • You are assigned a contact at the Financial Aid office based on your last name, however its best to use general email as that person might be out of the office, etc. Please visit Office of Financial Aid for more information.

It is best to mail in your package vs. faxing or email/scanning. Mail it to:
Office of Financial Aid,
ROC 22

While international graduate students can receive merit-based scholarships, they are not eligible for need-based grants through UT Dallas. International students can apply for loans, but they need a credit-worthy cosigner who is a US citizen or permanent resident who resides in the United States. UT Dallas does not have its own loan program. If you would like to pursue a private education loan you will need to select a lender and apply directly. While UT Dallas may be asked by the lender to confirm you are a student we are not otherwise involved in the process and cannot recommend any lender. Please see Financial Aid Office for more information.

Yes, undergraduate students can apply for multiple scholarships. However, some scholarships do NOT allow you to “stack” or use more than one scholarship per semester.

The student’s application is considered amongst the top applicants, then the student may be considered for a scholarship automatically, in which case the student will be notified accordingly.

No, students do not need to be enrolled at UTD to apply for the scholarships, but they should register for the required number of credit hours once they come to UTD.

UT Dallas offers two different tuition plans. The variable tuition rate plan is based on a traditional plan that only locks tuition rates in for one academic year at a time. The rates on the variable tuition plan are subject to change each academic year.

The guaranteed tuition plan is a plan that locks tuition rates in for four consecutive years and protects the student against increases during those four years. This plan is designed to aid students and families in the budget and planning of college expenses.

All new incoming students will be automatically placed into the variable tuition rate plan, but will have the option to lock in their tuition rates for four consecutive years with the guaranteed tuition plan.

To make your tuition plan choice, please follow these instructions on this page https://www.utdallas.edu/finance/bursar/tuition/
