UArizona proposes second straight tuition hike for new undergrads
TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) The Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) approved tuition and fee hikes Friday morning for the 2023-24 academic year, as well as a new multi-year tuition-setting structure that the Board says will “increase cost predictability” for students.
The tuition-setting structure will allow for additional 3% increases in the future for undergraduates.
According to ABOR, the multi-year structure sets maximum tuition growth rates for a six-year period, allowing ABOR to revisit tuition every four years after that initial period.
At the University of Arizona, next year’s 3% tuition increase will bring resident undergraduate tuition at the main campus to $11,871 beginning this coming academic year. Resident undergraduate tuition for the current academic year is $11,525.
The increase will vary for out-of-state students, as well as graduate students and students at satellite campuses. The university says the increases will apply only to new incoming students.

Board says the tuition-setting structure will reflect “modest” growth, and will allow the board to suspend tuition if state funding gets increased.
Our hope is for increased multi-year funding from the state so we can hold the line on tuition increases for students and families, said ABOR Chair Lyndel Manson.

KGUN 9 has reached out to the Associated Students of the University of Arizona (ASUA) for comment on ABOR’s approval of the tuition and fee increases.
