Tuition increases Undergraduate in-state tuition increases for schools in the University System of Georgia under a plan being considered by the Board of Regents. Student fees are not included. The committee also endorsed a university system budget that includes a 4.5 percent increase in faculty and staff salaries, approved by the General Assembly last winter, and increases in student fees on 39 campuses. Institutions will get a lump sum based on 4.5 percent of their salaries. Mandatory student fees would also be upped at 18 colleges and universities, including UGA, Georgia Tech, Georgia Southern University and Medical College of Georgia.
Student fees pay for athletic events, health care, student activities and other services.
Fee requests come from college or university panels made up of administrators and students. The regents reduced 21 of the 43 fee requests they received and did not approve four others.
