The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents approved a 2022-23 annual operating budget on Thursday that continues a tuition freeze for in-state undergraduates as recommended by System President Jay Rothman. Resident undergraduate tuition hasn't changed since fiscal year 2013-14.
"Moving forward, it is critical we make the investments necessary to enhance the quality of education that makes the University of Wisconsin System attractive to students while maintaining affordability for Wisconsin families," Rothman said.
Rothman also told regents that he has requested a review of affordability that would compare UW System costs to those of peer institutions and assess the financial impact of a public higher education in Wisconsin on family incomes.
Overall, the average cost of attending a UW System university for a typical residential undergraduate student living on a main four-year campus, including tuition, fees, and room and board, will rise 1.7 percent, or $273, for 2022-23. For branch campuses, the typical increase amounts to 0.1 percent, or $6.
The UW system has agricultural schools at its Madison, Platteville and River Falls campuses.
