Tuition rates for Western, Central, Eastern, and Southern Connecticut State Universities will be higher next academic year.  The Connecticut State Colleges & Universities Board of Regents met yesterday to vote on new tuition and fees for state universities, not including UConn. The systemwide-average increase for in-state undergraduates is $15 per credit or $184 per semester, and an average increase of $17 per credit or $208 per semester for in-state graduate students beginning in the fall of 2023.  A report from the Board says the change is needed to cover increased costs, including for wages, and the impact of inflation.
