UW System regents approve 5.5 percent tuition hike

Tuition in the University of Wisconsin System will rise by several hundred dollars next academic year, after the Board of Regents voted Thursday to accept the maximum 5.5 percent rate hike. The increase applies to all 13 of the system?s four-year colleges, as well as its 13 two-year campuses. All students – in-state and out-of-state _ who attend UW-Madison, the system?s largest campus, will pay an extra $681 per year in tuition. That figure includes $250 from a previously approved surcharge earmarked for certain student programs and classroom support.
