The UA is proposing no tuition hikes for incoming resident undergraduate students for the 2021-2022 school year, putting their tuition and fees at just under $13,000 a year.
Arizona women's basketball coach Adia Barnes spoke during Thursday's media session in San Antonio about UA's preparation for its Sweet 16 matchup against Texas A&M
Incoming nonresident undergraduate students will pay about $500 more in tuition and fees than last year.
These tuition rates will be guaranteed for four years under the university's Guaranteed Tuition Plan. All continuing students will see no increase.
Under the proposal, new resident undergraduate students starting in the fall at the Tucson campus would pay $12,671 a year in tuition and mandatory fees.
New nonresident undergraduates would pay $37,193 a year starting in the fall, an increase over the current tuition and mandatory fees of $36,698.
The University of Arizona is also proposing an increase in tuition for incoming resident graduate students of 1.4% and a 0.7% increase for incoming nonresident graduate students.
Mandatory fees will not increase for the 2021-2022 academic year, with the exception of the Recreation Center Program fee, which might increase annually based on the Consumer Price Index and the Arizona Financial Aid Trust fee, which increases based on an approved tuition increase.
"The past year has been challenging on many levels, and in an unprecedented time like this, we felt it was important to keep tuition steady and predictable for our students and their families," said UA President Robert C. Robbins in a news release.
College of Medicine tuition at the Tucson campus will increase by 3% for first-year resident students and by 1% for nonresident students. College of Medicine tuition at the Phoenix campus will increase by 3% for all resident students and by 1% for all nonresident students.
The UA College of Veterinary Medicine will increase tuition for first-year resident and nonresident students by 2%, while second-year students will see no increase. Next year will be the second year the college is operating as the first and only public veterinary medicine school in Arizona.
The Arizona Board of Regents will hold a virtual public hearing for students and individuals to comment on the tuition proposals from 3-5 p.m. Tuesday, April 6. Instructions on how to comment, including a form to fill out to participate in the public hearing, will be posted under “public notices” on the ABOR website, www.azregents.edu. Comments on tuition proposals may also be submitted electronically to tuition@azregents.edu.
A virtual tuition workshop where presidents will present their proposals will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday, April 8. On Thursday, April 15, the board is expected to vote on tuition and fee proposals. The tuition workshop and board meeting will be livestreamed and instructions will be available through the regents' website.
