UC Regents To Vote On Revised Tuition Plan With 5% Cap, Banked Hikes, Lower Aid Share

UC leaders say predictable revenue is essential given funding uncertainty.

Overview

  • The board meets at UCLA on Wednesday as student governments and the UC Student Association plan protests across all nine undergraduate campuses.
  • The renewal would keep cohort-based tuition freezes for up to six years while capping annual increases at 5% and allowing unused authority to be banked for later years.
  • The proposal would cut the share of tuition directed to financial aid to 40%, with a stated goal of moving toward 33% over time.
  • A 1% add-on above inflation would be earmarked for capital improvements under the plan.
  • UC estimates 54% of California resident undergraduates would see increases offset by aid, while many families earning over $120,000 would face higher net costs.
