"These modest increases will allow our universities to maintain the excellence that students and their families expect and manage inflationary pressures that are driving up our expenses," U of I System President Tim Killeen said. "This decision by trustees, alongside our commitment to providing financial aid that makes a real difference in students' lives, aligns with our promise to maintain access and affordability at our universities."
Base tuition for new in-state students at Urbana-Champaign will increase by $238 to $12,712 a year and by $208 to $11,178 a year at UIC.
