• On average, an in-state undergraduate student taking 30 credit hours next year will pay just more than $7,900 for tuition and fees. The new rates are effective for the 2013-14 academic year, which begins this summer.
• One of the biggest drivers of tuition and fee rates is a 3-percent across-the-board salary increase for state workers, including Board of Regents employees, and a bump in health insurance premiums
• The state is covering 41 percent of the salary package in the coming year, so tuition, fees, and student charges must be raised internally to cover the remainder of that obligation.
