ACADEMIC COMMON MARKET
UTEP is a participating member of the Academic Common Market, a cooperative tuition reduction agreement among fourteen Southern Regional Education Board states. If the public institutions in your home state do not offer a degree program in your chosen field of study, it may be possible to arrange a waiver of non resident tuition to attend UTEP (or any other cooperating public institution of higher education in an Academic Common Market state) for that program. Likewise, Texas residents may be eligible for resident rate tuition for member state schools for degree programs not available in Texas public institutions. A listing of member states and eligible degree programs are available in the Office of Graduate Student Services.

CITIZENS OF MEXICO
A citizen of Mexico who registers for instruction offered by a general academic teaching institution in a county bordering Mexico is eligible to pay tuition equal to that charged Texas residents provided the student demonstrates a financial need after the resources of the student and the student's family have been considered.

RESIDENTS OF NEW MEXICO COUNTIES
The UT System has authorized UTEP to establish resident tuition rates for eligible residents of the following New Mexico counties that are adjacent to Texas: Dona Ana, Otero, Eddy, Lea, Roosevelt, Curry, Quay, and Union.
New Mexico students interested in applying for this resident tuition rate must contact the UTEP undergraduate Admissions Office prior to registration each semester.
