Regents approve higher tuition rates

The Board of Regents for the University System of Georgia approved a tuition rate hike Tuesday.

Incoming freshmen at the state’s colleges and universities will pay five percent to eight percent more than last year’s freshmen class.

The cost of one semester at each of the state’s four research universities is up $180 to $2,428; the cost per semester at a four-year university rose $115 to $1,549; and semester tuition at the state colleges rose $59 to $997.

The Board’s “Fixed for Four” program means that the tuition rate is guaranteed for four years for incoming students in fall 2008.
