Residents of the state of Tennessee pay in-state maintenance fees.
An agreement among southern states for sharing graduate programs allows legal residents of some states to enroll in certain programs at UT on an in-state tuition basis. Through the Academic Common Market, the M.S. program is available to residents of the states of Arkansas, Virginia, and West Virginia. For more information, contact Norma Harrington at (865)974–6120.
Residents of states outside of the Academic Common Market will be assessed out-of-state tuition.

Notes:
- Distance education students do not pay Program & Services, Facilities, or Transportation fees unless they are enrolled in an on campus course.
- Students are required to enroll according to their status in SIS. If an online course has two sections, campus students must register for the section designated for campus and distance education students must register for the section designated for DE. Campus students enrolled part-time a given semester may be charged additional fees based on the number of hours enrolled.
- Fees for part-time students are pro-rated and calculated based on the number of credit hours enrolled.

Tuition
Tuition is required of all students who are classified as non-residents of the state of Tennessee for fee assessment purposes. Maintenance fees (required by all students) are the in-state portion of tuition and serves as an enrollment or registration fee.
Programs & Services Fee
This fee is used to pay for costs related to several UTK facilities including the Aquatics Center and the University Center as well as Student Health Services, student activities and publications, and the Student Government Association. Payment of the fee is required to be eligible to purchase student athletic tickets. Some programs and services are available only to students paying the full-time fee and others are available to all students.
If you are enrolled for fewer than 9 semester hours with a minimum of 3 hours, you may elect to add the $78.00 Student Health Fee. If you are taking 6, 7, or 8 hours, you may elect to pay the full Program and Services Fee of $300.00. This amount is not optional if you are enrolled for 9 or more hours.
Technology Fee
Revenues from this fee provide improved technical resources and services and will be administered by the Division of Information Infrastructure (DII).
Facilities Fee
The fee will be used to provide students with upgraded classroom facilities, expand information technology into the classroom, and fund campus infrastructure improvements.
Transportation Fee
This fee is used to provide students with a convenient method of movement around campus and will subsidize the costs associated with the new comprehensive campus transit system.
