Waivers and Exemptions
At East Texas A&M University, we’re committed to helping students access an affordable, high-quality education. Tuition waivers reduce a student’s cost by lowering the tuition rate from non-resident to Texas resident status, while exemptions fully or partially remove tuition and/or required fees.
Residency Status
Your residency status matters because it directly determines your tuition rate and eligibility for certain state programs. Ensuring your classification is accurate helps you avoid unexpected charges and makes sure you receive the benefits you qualify for.

Earning a degree shouldn’t cost more each year.
We offer guaranteed plans that lock in tuition and fee rates. That’s one less thing to think about while you’re planning for college. Our plan locks in tuition costs and mandatory fees for your academic program, from registration to graduation.
