Georgia Public Universities to Increase Tuition and Fees in Fall 2024

The Board of Regents approved tuition hikes across all 26 state campuses, citing rising operational costs and the need to maintain educational standards.

• In-state tuition will rise by 2.5%, while out-of-state and foreign students will face increases of 5% and 7% respectively.
• The tuition adjustments come after a period of stable fees, with the last increase recorded in 2019.
• Online students will also see increased fees, aligning more closely with in-person student costs.
• Admissions testing waivers will continue at most campuses, with only the three most selective requiring SAT or ACT scores.
• The state has increased its funding for the university system by $200 million, aiming to offset some of the financial burdens on students.
