Board of Regents Set 2024-25 Tuition Rates
Under the adopted structure, tuition and mandatory fees for CSU and CT State students will increase by 5%, while tuition and fees at COSC will remain flat.
The Board of Regents for Higher Education (BOR) today voted to set tuition and fees for the four Connecticut State Universities (CSUs), CT State, and Charter Oak State College (COSC). Under the adopted structure, tuition and mandatory fees for CSU and CT State students will increase by 5%, while tuition and fees at COSC will remain flat. Increases in room and food service fees vary by university.
“This system has long prided itself on providing affordable access to higher education and we are acutely aware that a 5% tuition increase will add a burden to our students’ ability to pay, especially for our non-traditional students,” said Connecticut State Colleges and Universities Chancellor Terrence Cheng. “We will continue to lobby state leaders for funding to address the system’s shortfall and hopefully mitigate any tuition and fee increase. Our state colleges and universities will continue to be the most affordable and accessible option for our state’s students to receive a quality and affordable higher education.”
