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.

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.
