Tuition Rates for State Universities To Increase In CT

Information via Connecticut State Colleges & Universities

The Board of Regents for Higher Education (BOR) today voted to set tuition and fee rates at the state universities for the 2023-24 academic year. As part of the new structure, state universities will see an increase of $15 per credit or $184 per semester for full-time undergraduate students and an increase of $17 per credit or $208 per semester for graduate students beginning in the fall of 2023.

"Today’s tuition and fee adjustment balances the need to maintain affordability at our state universities with the significant fiscal issues we face,” CSCU President Terrence Cheng said. “Our enrollment situation and the resulting financial landscape we face continues to be challenging. But we cannot balance our budget on the backs of our students. Even with this increase, our public colleges and universities remain the most affordable, most accessible, highest quality option for Connecticut students.”

The projected revenue from tuition and fees increase provides an additional $13.4 million before adjusting for anticipated financial aid, waivers, and bad debt expense. All increases are well below the rate of inflation.
