The State Board of Regents has approved tuition increases for all college students, with the exception of current freshmen who came in under the four-year fixed plan.
New students at Georgia’s four research universities in 2007 will pay about 15-percent more than last year. Regents' spokesman John Millsaps says that's not as high as it sounds.
"You cannot look at that as a one-year situation. The fixed for four rate for freshmen entering this fall needs to account for the full four years of that guarantee".
1st-year students at other state schools are set to now pay between 9-12 percent more. Current upperclassmen will also get a 5-7 percent hike in their tuition rates.
