Following the 2014 General Session, the State Board of
Regents met and approved a 4.0% first-tier tuition increase for the 2014-2015
academic year for the Utah System of Higher Education. In addition to the first-tier tuition, the
Regents also approved second-tier tuition increases for the University of Utah
(1.8%), Utah State University (1.5%), and Snow College (2.0%). The increases are projected to generate
approximately $32.2 million. Of this
amount, $26.6 million will be allocated for compensation and targeted salary
increases, $1.7 million is for Student Support and Initiatives, $2.4 million is
for Academic Support and Initiatives, $1.0 million is for utilities and
maintenance, $400,000 is for scholarships, and $100,000 is for other
mandated costs. The following table
shows the tuition increases, as well as the Regents-approved student fee
increases.
