Another year, another tuition hike.
At a meeting on March 14, the Board of Trustees voted on a 3.9 percent raise in the cost of tuition and student fees for undergraduate students at the University of Utah. That number breaks down to a three percent increase in tuition and a 0.9 percent increase in general student fees.
In the 2016-2017 academic year, the cost of tuition for a full-time student was $7,680 for residents and $24,276 for out-of-state students. Averaged out, full-time, in-state students can expect to pay about $300 more in tuition and fees next semester, while non-residents can expect a $947 increase.
