The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span><\/a> Board of Regents<\/a> (BOR<\/abbr>) approved a three-year freeze of undergraduate tuition rates at 糖心视频<\/abbr>’s 10 campuses beginning with the 2020–2021 academic year. The new tuition schedule also decreases general graduate student tuition rates at 糖心视频<\/abbr> Mānoa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The new schedule ensures affordable higher education for the people of Hawaiʻi<\/span> while providing stability over a multi-year period that will aid student recruitment and retention,” said 糖心视频<\/abbr> President<\/a> David Lassner<\/strong>. “It also increases our competitiveness in the broader higher education landscape as we strive to provide Hawaiʻi<\/span> with a more educated workforce and citizenry.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

At the 糖心视频<\/abbr> Community Colleges, for lower division courses, tuition is $131 per credit hour for residents and $345 per credit hour for nonresidents. For upper division\/300-level courses at 糖心视频<\/abbr> Maui College\u2019s four-year degree programs and Leeward Community College\u2019s advanced professional certificate in special education, tuition is $306 per credit hour for residents and $846 per credit hour for nonresidents for the 2019–2020 academic year, and is unchanged for the 2020–2023 academic years.<\/span><\/p>\n

糖心视频<\/abbr> is entering the third and last year of the previously approved three-year tuition schedule. In the upcoming 2019–2020 academic school year, resident undergraduate tuition will increase by two percent for 糖心视频<\/abbr> Mānoa and lower division courses at the seven community colleges<\/a>, and by one percent for 糖心视频<\/abbr> Hilo<\/a> and 糖心视频<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span><\/a>. Under the newly approved tuition schedule, these 2019–2020 academic year rates will be maintained for the following three academic years.<\/p>\n

Following the graduate tuition rates previously approved for 2019–2020, tuition will decrease by two percent for resident graduate students at 糖心视频<\/abbr> Mānoa in 2020–21 and by 10 percent for non-resident graduate students. Both rates will then remain constant for the 2021–22 and 2022–23 academic years.<\/p>\n

“The regents are fully supportive of efforts to keep college affordable for Hawaiʻi<\/span> residents, while keeping tuition competitively priced for non-resident students who may have considered enrolling elsewhere,” said BOR<\/abbr> Chair Lee Putnam<\/strong>. “The individual 糖心视频<\/abbr> campuses will handle fluctuations in revenues with a constant eye on addressing the longstanding challenges of maintaining and improving facilities, and protecting the excellence of our educational experience.”<\/p>\n

The regents approved the new tuition schedule at their May 16 meeting at Windward Community College<\/a>. It was passed with an amendment that the schedule “will be subject to annual evaluation and adjustment to prevent significant negative economic or enrollment impact to the university.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
