New tuition rates for fall 2003 await Regents' OK
The University of Kansas and other Kansas Regents institutions
have proposed increases in tuition for the 2003-04 school
year. If approved by the Kansas Board of Regents at
its meeting June 25-26, the new rates will go into effect
for the fall semester.
About 20 percent of the revenue generated by the 2003-04
enhancement tuition increase — $2.2 million —
will be directed toward need-based financial aid for
students. Even with the increase, KU expects to remain
a best buy in the region and nationally.
KU is proposing the following increase to tuition and
required fees per semester beginning in fall 2003; the
increase over current tuition appears in parentheses:
-
Kansas resident undergraduates $2,050.25 ($308.50),
enrolled in 15 hours;
-
Nonresident undergraduates $5,788.25 (($445), enrolled
in 15 hours;
-
Resident graduate students $2,159.60 ($264.70),
enrolled in 12 hours;
-
Nonresident graduate students $5,324.60 ($380.50),
enrolled in 12 hours;
-
Resident medical students $7,475 ($1,018); and
-
Nonresident medical students $14,740.50 ($1,092.50)
 Beginning
in 2003-04, students at the KU Edwards Campus in Overland
Park also will be assessed a $15 per student credit
hour program fee, to enable the campus to broaden its
curriculum and program availability to students.
