Baylor University offers a Guaranteed Tuition Option as a budgeting tool for undergraduate and graduate students. Over a four year period, the regular tuition rate and the Guaranteed Tuition rate are generally the same. However, by selecting the Guaranteed Tuition Option, students are able to establish the same tuition rate for four years and eliminate uncertainty about future tuition increases, allowing students and parents to accurately prepare their educational budget.

In the 2012-2013, academic year, the guaranteed tuition rate (12 hours or more) is $16,855.00 per semester. Although this is higher than the 2012-2013 regular tuition rate (12 hours or more) of $15,293.00 per semester, students selecting the guaranteed rate will be able to pay $16,855.00 per semester for 48 months while regular tuition rates will increase yearly. Students registering in less than 12 hours on the guaranteed tuition option for 2012-2013 will pay $1,405 per semester hour during the 48 month period. For summer 2013 and subsequent summers, the guaranteed tuition rate will be $1,054 per hour during that 48 month period.
