Regents’ Tuition Hearing on April 16

The Annual Arizona Board of Regents Tuition Hearing will be on Tuesday, April 16 from 5 to 7 p.m. The annual hearing is designed to provide students and families an opportunity to address members of the Board regarding university tuition, financial aid and other financial concerns.

The hearing will be conducted via interactive television, connecting the three main campuses with other campus sites. The hearing also will be broadcast on cable television and on the internet. Those who wish to address the Board can attend at any of the campus locations listed below. Comments will be heard on a first come, first served basis, with participating sites rotating throughout the hearing.

The Board is expected to set final tuition and fees for 2002-2003 at its meeting April 25 at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. At the same meeting, the Board also will approve mandatory fees, increases in specific graduate programs, residence hall rates, and all class fees that require Board approval.

Also in keeping with the process, each of the university presidents has disclosed his recommendations for tuition increases and the Board has published notices of the tuition hearing in newspapers throughout the state.
