Arizona Board Of Regents Approves Tuition Hike For UA, NAU And ASU Students

building

A day before they approved a $780,000 contract extension for University of Arizona Vice President and Director of Athletics Dave Heeke, the Arizona Board of Regents approved tuition hikes on university students.

“The board recognizes any increase in tuition has an impact on Arizona students and families, but we are pleased that the presidents’ proposals included only modest added costs in 2022-23,” said ABOR Chair Lyndel Manson. “The proposals demonstrate the joint commitment of the presidents to prioritize Arizona, access and quality while shielding resident students to the greatest extent possible from extraordinary inflationary cost pressures.”

The University of Arizona tuition will rise 2% for incoming resident undergraduate students; resident undergraduate students not in the guaranteed program; and graduate resident students. New non-resident undergraduate students and continuing non-resident undergraduate students who aren’t in the guaranteed program will have a 5.6% increase. There is no change in the non-resident graduate tuition rate. In addition, three mandatory fees are increasing: Health and Recreation; Student Services; and the Arizona Financial Aid Trust Fund.

College of Medicine-Tucson and College of Medicine-Phoenix resident tuition will increase 4.3% and non-resident tuition will increase 1% for first- through fourth-year students. College of Veterinary Medicine tuition will increase 3% for resident and non-resident first- through third-year students. Online tuition for undergraduates will not increase and graduate students’ tuition will rise 9% per credit hour.

In addition to base tuition (resident, non-resident, international, online), the board approved differential tuition (as applicable); mandatory, college, program and class fees; and housing and meal plan changes.

Arizona State University undergraduate and graduate resident immersion students will see a 2.5% percent increase while non-resident and international students have a 4% and 5% respective increase for both undergraduate and graduate students.

Online ASU undergraduate and graduate students will see a 2% increase per credit hour. ASU caps online tuition for resident students at the full-time campus tuition rate per semester while online base tuition for non-resident students does not have a cap. In addition, one mandatory fee is increasing slightly for the Arizona Financial Aid Trust Fund.

Northern Arizona University will increase tuition 3.5% for new resident and non-resident undergraduate and graduate students. Incoming undergraduate international students’ tuition will increase 7.4% and tuition for graduate international students will rise 7.2%.

NAU is eliminating more than 500 undergraduate course fees and instead establishing three undergraduate college fees. College fees range from $400-$1,000 per year for residents and $600 to $1,500 per year for non-resident and international students. Online students will see a 2.2% per credit hour increase for undergraduates and 1.7% for graduate students. One mandatory fee is increasing slightly for the Arizona Financial Aid Trust Fund.
