Proposal would raise in-state UA tuition by 3.2%

Tuition and fees at the University of Arizona would rise by 3.2 percent for state residents and by 7.2 percent for nonresidents next school year under a proposal released Friday.

But most current UA students wouldn’t be affected because their rates were set in years past and locked in under the school’s guaranteed tuition plan.

Those who didn’t sign up for guaranteed tuition — about one in five undergraduates — would see their tuition rise by 2.8 percent for state residents and 5.8 percent for nonresidents.

The proposal calls for a total tab of $11,769 in tuition and mandatory fees for an incoming freshman who lives in Arizona, and $34,967 for a nonresident.

Graduate students would pay 2.8 percent more if they are residents and 5.8 percent more if they are not.

The Arizona Board of Regents is due to vote on tuition proposals for all three state universities at its April 7 meeting at the UA.
