Undergraduate Tuition: Tuition increases for undergraduate resident students limited to 6.5% of current tuition.

• Campuses with significant unfunded needs may submit proposal for Tuition increases above 6.5%---must fully document significant need and provide detailed plan, and tuition is the only viable funding.o At least 25% of new tuition revenues must support need-

based financial aid. • Campuses whose Tuition & General Fee rates differ

significantly from those charged by similar UNC institutions or public peer institutions may consider one-time adjustments to tuition/fees to “catch up”—must be fully justified and consideration should be given to phasing in the increase over a multi-year period to reduce impact on students.

• Combined Tuition, General Fees, and Debt Service Fees must continue to remain in the bottom quarter of WSSU’s public peers.
