Satisfactory Academic Progress

Although state and national policy has established many objectives for student financial aid programs, one clear purpose is to fund only students who meet certain academic standards. Institutions are therefore required by law to formulate standards to gauge the progress of students receiving federal and state financial aid by applying both qualitative and quantitative measurements to academic work. A maximum time limit for the completion of a degree and a minimum GPA are used by the University to measure satisfactory academic progress. The qualitative standard of satisfactory academic progress is measured by the CGPA of courses taken at UT Permian Basin. To be making SAP Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 GPA and a 75% completion rate. Funded hours are those semester credit hours which are counted in determining a student's enrollment status for payment of financial aid. Courses in which a W, D, F, U, or Z has been recorded may be repeated once and be included as funded hours for financial aid (i.e., in the 12+ hours for full-time enrollment). Repeated courses in which a grade of C or higher, S, or I has been recorded will not be included as funded hours for financial aid. Audited courses cannot be funded with financial aid or counted in the progress requirements.

Student Academic Progress will be checked after each semester. Progress will be checked at the end of the fall semester. Students who are found to not be making progress either for qualitative or quantitative reasons will be put on Financial Aid Warning. Students with a warning status will not have their aid suspended and will be allowed to receive aid for one additional semester. At the end of the spring semester academic progress will be checked again. All students who are on Financial Aid Warning and have not met the minimum requirements for academic progress will be put on financial aid suspension. These students will not be eligible to receive aid until they have successfully met the academic progress standards or successfully appealed their SAP.

Sample of total tuition and fee charges for a semester
Fall 2018

Institution: The University of Texas Permian Basin

The table can be used to estimate the full costs of one semester for Texas resident students. For undergraduates, the amounts are shown for 12 and 15 semester credit hours (sch). For graduate students, the table gives amounts for 3 and 9 sch. If a student enrolls for a different number of hours, they may use the extra column to calculate those costs using the per semester credit hour charges for tuition and fees that are based on the number of hours of credit (see class schedule for details). Since the table shows only average charges for college and course related fees, a more precise total would have to be calculated by determining the actual fees for the student's school or college and the courses for which the student has enrolled. Necessary information may be obtained from the Office of Accounting, the class schedule and/or UT Permian Basin's Home page on the web at www.utpb.edu on the tuition and fee tables.

  1. At the time this Catalog is going to print, tuition changes are under consideration by the State of Texas Legislature and the UT System Board of Regents. Thus, actual tuition may change.
  2. Required fees, those charged to all students, may be based on semester credit hours or may be per semester.
  3. Averages only are given for college and course related fee charges (laboratory, incidental, supplemental/individual instruction fees) since charges vary according to academic program and courses; actual fees are published in the Institutional Catalog and/or other publications. A summary description of these fees and the optional student services fees may be found in an attachment, the UT Permian Basin Catalog and/or on UT Permian Basin’s website at www.utpb.edu.
  4. A one-time, $20.00 property deposit is charged to all first-time students. A one-time orientation fee of $35.00 for freshman students and $15.00 for transfer students is charged for providing a new student orientation prior to registration. These amounts are not included in the totals.
  5. Students may enroll in programs that have different tuition structures. An example would be online classes. For online classes the following fees are not charged: Athletics Fee, Student Service Fees, Medical Services Fee, Student Multipurpose Center and Repurposed Athletic Fee.  However, students will be charged the following fees: Technology Fee, Library Fee, Advising Fee and Distance Education Fee.
