Today, the �¼������ϲ� Board of Regents approved 2022-23 tuition and fees for �¼������ϲ�’s public universities, reflecting a commitment to keep tuition increases low. For the past two years, the board and university presidents did not pursue increases to resident tuition to ensure higher education at �¼������ϲ�’s public universities remained accessible for students during economic challenges brought about from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Most continuing students at Northern �¼������ϲ� University and the University of �¼������ϲ� will see no tuition increase, as the universities’ respective pledge and guarantee programs lock in tuition rates for four years. �¼������ϲ� State University continues its 2012 pledge to limit resident undergraduate tuition increases to 3% or less, with tuition slated to increase 2.5% for �¼������ϲ�-resident undergraduate and graduate immersion students.

“The board recognizes any increase in tuition has an impact on �¼������ϲ� students and families, but we are pleased that the presidents’ proposals included only modest added costs in 2022-23,” said �¼������ϲ� Chair Lyndel Manson. “The proposals demonstrate the joint commitment of the presidents to prioritize �¼������ϲ�, access and quality while shielding resident students to the greatest extent possible from extraordinary inflationary cost pressures.”

Manson noted that adequate state funding is critical to making �¼������ϲ�’s public universities accessible and affordable and the level of state funding is a driver in the board’s tuition decisions.

�¼������ϲ�’s public universities currently and continue to offer robust financial aid for students, collectively providing more than $1 billion in institutional gift aid in fiscal year 2021. In addition, the board offers the �¼������ϲ� Promise Program, covering tuition and fees for low-income resident students to make our universities more affordable for �¼������ϲ�ns. Several lower-cost pathways to a degree have been added by the board and universities in recent years, including more community college partnerships, expanded online education and additional affordable degree programs.

For the upcoming 2022-23 academic year:

�¼������ϲ� State University

Consistent with the university’s pledge not to increase resident tuition more than 3%, ASU undergraduate and graduate resident immersion students will see a 2.5% percent increase while non-resident and international students have a 4% and 5% respective increase for both undergraduate and graduate students.

Online undergraduate and graduate students will see a 2% increase per credit hour. ASU caps online tuition for resident students at the full-time campus tuition rate per semester while online base tuition for non-resident students does not have a cap. In addition, one mandatory fee is increasing slightly for the �¼������ϲ� Financial Aid Trust Fund.

Northern �¼������ϲ� University

NAU continues its Pledge Program, guaranteeing tuition rates for four years for the majority of undergraduate students. Tuition will increase 3.5% for new resident and non-resident undergraduate and graduate students.  Incoming undergraduate international students’ tuition will increase 7.4% and tuition for graduate international students will rise 7.2%.

NAU is simplifying its fee structure by eliminating more than 500 undergraduate course fees and instead establishing three undergraduate college fees. College fees range from $400-$1,000 per year for residents and $600 to $1,500 per year for non-resident and international students. Online students will see a 2.2% per credit hour increase for undergraduates and 1.7% for graduate students. One mandatory fee is increasing slightly for the �¼������ϲ� Financial Aid Trust Fund.

University of �¼������ϲ�

U�¼������ϲ� continues its Guaranteed Tuition Program, thus 99% of continuing undergraduate students will have no tuition or mandatory fee increases. Tuition will rise 2% for incoming resident undergraduate students; resident undergraduate students not in the guaranteed program; and graduate resident students. New non-resident undergraduate students and continuing non-resident undergraduate students who aren’t in the guaranteed program will have a 5.6% increase. There is no change in the non-resident graduate tuition rate. In addition, three mandatory fees are increasing: Health and Recreation; Student Services; and the �¼������ϲ� Financial Aid Trust Fund.

College of Medicine-Tucson and College of Medicine-Phoenix resident tuition will increase 4.3% and non-resident tuition will increase 1% for first- through fourth-year students. College of Veterinary Medicine tuition will increase 3% for resident and non-resident first- through third-year students. Online tuition for undergraduates will not increase and graduate students’ tuition will rise 9% per credit hour.

In addition to base tuition (resident, non-resident, international, online), the board approved differential tuition (as applicable); mandatory, college, program and class fees; and housing and meal plan changes.
