WRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY RAISES SUMMER QUARTER TUITION
Wright State University's Board of Trustees approved an increase in tuition for full-time
summer quarter students at its April 9 meeting.
The Board raised tuition 5 percent for full-time summer quarter undergraduate students on the main campus. Tuition for Lake Campus undergraduate students will increase 2.5 percent. Graduate tuition for full-time students attending summer quarter will increase 8 percent.
The tuition increase percentages include a one percent increase in technology fees. Summer tuition and fees for undergraduate students will increase $62, from $1,236 to $1,298, and for graduate students, $125, from $1,563 to $1,688.
In addition, the Board approved the following:
The Board differentiated between undergraduate and graduate tuition and fee increases to establish levels that place Wright State no lower than the midpoint in the array of charges levied by Ohio's other four-year institutions. Although current undergraduate tuition is at that midpoint, Wright State is second from the bottom (11th) statewide in graduate tuition and fees.
"We have a huge investment in computing technology on this campus and the technology fee will go toward maintaining it," said Janet Achterman, vice president for business and fiscal affairs. "We also need resources to upgrade classroom technology and provide students and faculty dial-in access availability for Internet courses."
The university's Board of Trustees will determine tuition and fees for the fall, winter and spring quarters of fiscal 1999 at its June 5 meeting.
