Georgia Colleges Hold Line on Tuition, Cut Some Summer Fees

Georgia’s public universities and colleges will give those 330,000 students a break on costs for online summer classes and mostly hold the line on costs next year. The move came Tuesday even though Chancellor Steve Wrigley told regents the 26-college system has lost about $200 million so far from student refunds and foregone revenue because of the coronavirus.

University of Georgia students take part on a conference call front yard where they're sheltering-in-place due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Athens, Ga, Saturday, March 28, 2020. UGA has moved all classes online for the remainder of spring semester due to the coronavirus outbreak concern.

Regents are also cutting online tuition to the same level as face-to-face tuition for Georgia residents beginning with the summer semester. They're banning most types of mandatory fees for summer classes, a move that could save students hundreds of dollars this summer.
