It’s official: Tuition, fees up 4.5 percent for 2011-12

The UW System Board of Regents on Thursday (July 14) approved a 5.5 percent tuition increase for most System students, including those at UW-Green Bay. Segregated fees here are holding steady, however, meaning the total increase — tuition plus fees — will translate to 4.5 percent (for Wisconsin residents attending UWGB full time). Under the plan OK’d Thursday, UW-Green Bay students will pay $7,288 in tuition and fees for ’11-’12, up from $6,977 last year. Read complete details.
