**Graduate - Masters Full-Time enrollment is considered 6 credit hours per university policy. However, students will often enroll in more credit hours to finish their degree in two years, thus the cost estimate reflected on an I-20 may differ from the student's final tuition bill.
*** An Additional $1,800 will need to be shown for the I-20 for McCoy College of Business degrees (Accounting, Accounting and Information Technology, Business Administration, Human Resource Management, Data Analytics and Information Systems, Marketing Research and Analysis, and Quantitative Finance and Economics). See more information on the McCoy Graduate Program Fee.
In general F-1 students are not eligible for In-State tuition based on residency. As an F-1 student, you are expected to be living permanently in another country and therefore do not qualify for In-State residency. If you graduated from a Texas High School after attending for 3 years you may meet the criteria for in-state tuition per House Bill 1403/ Senate Bill 1528. Any residency/in-state tuition questions should be directed to the Residency Officer within Undergraduate Admissions (residency@txstate.edu).
Note on Changing Status to F1: Even if you have received in-state tuition previously on another visa-type, you will likely lose your in-state tuition qualification upon changing status to an F-1 student visa.
Graduate Assistantships:
Student who receive Assistantship will be able to change your Tuition fee to In-State as one of the benefits of working as a Graduate Student for the university. Your department must submit a tuition waiver on your behalf before the 12th class day of the semester for the changes to take affect.
Recipients of Scholarships or Fellowships over $1,000: Students who receive scholarships over $1,000 from Texas State also may be eligible to receive in-state tuition. They should contact the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office to confirm and ask who will be submitting the waiver to the Student Business Services Office on their behalf. Consult with your department if you have any questions.
F-1 students may be accompanied by their spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21. These family members are eligible to apply for F-2 dependent visas.
F-1 students must provide financial documentation demonstrating sufficient funds to support each dependent.
Please use the formula below to calculate the remaining funds you need to provide the ISSS Office to issue your I-20.
