The Iowa Board of Regents today (on Thursday) approved another tuition increase for resident undergraduate students who will attend Iowa, Iowa State, and UNI. The vote was unanimous. The tuition increase for the upcoming fall semester amounts to five-percent, or $358, more than last fall.

The board had approved a two-percent tuition hike back in December, but decided to boost it another three-percent after the Legislature cut state support to the Regents institutions by nearly 21-million dollars for the current budget year and 9.6-million dollars in 2018.
