TUSCALOOSA (AP) — Leaders of Alabama's public university system voted today to approve tuition increases at the University of Alabama and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
The hikes amount to $300 per year for in-state students and $1,000 per year for out-of-state students at the University of Alabama. The rates are based on a 15 credit hour load per semester.
The board also voted to raise tuition at UAB by $340 per year for in-state students and $888 per year for out-of-state students. The tuition hikes are expected to go into effect during the 2016-17 school year.
"Obviously they try to keep the increases to a minimum, but we have consistently had in recent years very modest increases. We do have some funding from the state that took a tumble in the financial crisis, but it's starting to improve and has leveled off a little bit," said Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration Dana Keith, adding that student scholarships will also be funded through the increase.
