Regents Hike Cost of Georgia Colleges
Wednesday, April 20th, 2011
Georgia students will see their college costs increase by 9 percent next fall, under new tuition and fee rates the state Board of Regents approved Tuesday.
The costs include a 3 percent increase in tuition, a figure students said is lower than they expected. That increase ranges from $36 a semester at two-year colleges to $106 a semester at research institutions such as the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech.
Higher costs don't end with tuition. Many students will pay at least double in a special fee that currently ranges from $100 to $200 a semester, depending on the campus.
