The university says a recommended increase would support academic programs at every IU campus throughout the state.
IU President Michael McRobbie is recommending a 2.5 percent increase in tuition and mandatory fees for the 2019-2020 academic years for resident undergraduate students at all IU campuses. Under the proposal, tuition and fees at IU Bloomington and IUPUI would increase by $267 and $237, respectively. Fees at IU’s regional campuses in Richmond, Kokomo, Gary, South Bend and New Albany would increase by $183.
The university says its tuition rates would remain well below the national average for four-year public institutions if the increase was approved.
The public hearing will take place in the University Tower Ballroom on the IUPUI campus. Those unable to attend can view the hearing through a live stream by clicking here.
