UConn Trustees Approve Increases for Room, Board, Fees

STORRS, CT — The University of Connecticut Board of Trustees on Wednesday approved a series of fee increases, namely a jump of just less than 3 percent for room and board.

One new fee is called the Visa Compliance fee. It is $250 per semester for international students to cover UConn’s costs of administering visa compliance.

The transit fee would jump from $120 to $160 a year, if the state approves its UPass program, designed to give college students a free ride on any Connecticut public transit bus.

Late fees will now be $150 for students not paying tuition on time

Program fees are also to go up for courses of study like nursing and law.

The eCampus Comprehensive Fee is increasing from $750 to $825 per credit. The fee structure is assessed in a growing number of online, self-supporting graduate certificates and programs.
