Students at public universities and colleges in Georgia will pay more to attend in the 2024-2025 school year. The University System of Georgia’s Board of Regents voted Tuesday to increase tuition and fees at every school within the system. The cost of dorms and meal plans will also rise.
In-state undergraduate tuition will increase by 2.5% and out-of-state tuition will increase by 5%. Students from outside the country will see tuition rates that are 2% more than the cost for out-of-state students.
Students enrolled in more than six credit hours at the University of Georgia will see a $122 rise in tuition while students enrolled in six credit hours or less will see a $73 rise in tuition.
Students enrolled at the University of North Georgia pursuing a four-year degree will see a $67 rise in tuition while students pursuing a two-year degree will see a $183 rise in tuition.
The HOPE and Zell Miller Scholarships will pay for higher tuition fees, however students and families are responsible for mandatory university fees.
University System officials say they are forced to increase costs because student fees aren’t generating enough money for universities to pay for projects and increasing costs of food, technology, software, and insurance. Institutions are also having to spend more on employee pay raises.
