UVA Board of Visitors Meeting – Notice regarding Tuition and Fees
Friday, March 12, 2021
The UVA Board of Visitors will consider 2021-2022 tuition and fees for the University of Virginia and the University of Virginia’s College at Wise (the College at Wise) at a virtual meeting of the Board of Visitors on April 13, 2021 from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. eastern time. This notice is provided in accordance with §23.1-307(D), (E), and (F) of the Code of Virginia, which states that governing boards of any public institution of higher education shall not approve an increase in undergraduate tuition or mandatory fees without providing students and the public a projected range of the planned increase, an explanation of the need for the increase, and notice of the date, time, and location of the public comment meeting. The below information applies only to UVA; please see the separate notice for the College at Wise.
2021-2022 Incremental Revenue: Any incremental revenue generated from these tuition and fee increases, coupled with cost savings, philanthropy, endowment earnings, and other revenue sources, will address unavoidable increases; utilities and other infrastructure; faculty and staff compensation; and Commonwealth and University identified priorities.
2021-2022 Proposed Undergraduate Degree-seeking Tuition and Educational & General (E&G) Fees: For 2021-22, Board members will consider a proposal to increase undergraduate tuition within a range of 0% to 3.1%; the upper end of this range is based on the University and Board of Visitors’ long range planning assumption that tuition will increase annually by the increase in the Higher Education Price Index (HEPI) plus 1%. The University’s proposal assumes that the unrestricted state appropriation will be at essentially the same level as in the 2020-2022 Appropriation Act. If the unrestricted state appropriation is substantially different from the level assumed, adjustments to these tuition rates may be proposed in Summer 2021.
2021-2022 Proposed Mandatory Non-E&G Fees: As previously approved, there will be a $75 increase in the mandatory non-E&G fee associated with the expansion of student health and wellness services and the new student health and wellness facility. In addition to this $75 increase, mandatory non-E&G fees will increase by 1.5% to meet operating cost increases.
