The University of Colorado’s Board of Regents voted to increase tuition and fees by 3.7 percent next year on the Boulder campus.
Incoming in-state undergraduates will pay an additional $448, totaling $12,524. The increase is based on 30 credit hours a year for students in the College of Arts and Sciences.
Tuition and fee costs will increase an average of $1,066, or 2.9 percent, for non-resident undergraduates; $243, or 1.9 percent, for resident graduates; $795, or 2.5 percent, for non-resident graduates; and $1,120, or 3 percent, for international undergraduates.
Tuition for returning undergraduates will not increase because of the tuition guarantee that locks in costs for returning students for four years. In fact, they’ll see a small decrease in overall cost because the school is eliminating course and program fees in the fall — a collective $8.4 million for undergraduate students, CU spokesman Ken McConnellogue said. Each undergraduate will save an average of $34 and each graduate will save an average of $91 in overall fees next year, according to data provided by the university.
“Nobody is ever happy about tuition increases, but we are happy that they’re kept to a minimum,” McConnellogue said.
In total, tuition revenue will increase from $659.6 million to $710.2 million, he said.
