Tuition & Fees– BOG Guidance
Undergraduate Tuition: Tuition increases for undergraduate
resident students limited to 6.5% of current tuition.
• Campuses with significant unfunded needs may submit proposal
for Tuition increases above 6.5%---must fully document
significant need and provide detailed plan, and tuition is the only
viable funding.
o At least 25% of new tuition revenues must support needbased financial aid.
• Campuses whose Tuition & General Fee rates differ
significantly from those charged by similar UNC institutions or
public peer institutions may consider one-time adjustments to
tuition/fees to “catch up”—must be fully justified and
consideration should be given to phasing in the increase over a
multi-year period to reduce impact on students.
• Combined Tuition, General Fees, and Debt Service Fees must
continue to remain in the bottom quarter of WSSU’s public
peers.
4
Tuition & Fees– BOG Guidance (cont)
• Non-resident Tuition: Tuition for non-resident students at all
levels …higher than the rates charged residents of NC and
comparable to the rates charged nonresident students by
comparable public institutions.
• Graduate Tuition: Although tuition ceilings have not been
established for graduate schools, campuses encouraged to review
all revenue sources before recommending increases higher than
the undergraduate rate increase.
• General Fees (Athletics, Student Activities, Student Health, and
Ed Tech) increases must not exceed 6.5% overall.
• Special Fees, Those that apply to students in particular programs
such as nursing, are permitted this year.
• Miscellaneous Service Charges, such as transcripts, ID
replacements, and diplomas, are also permitted.
