CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) _ The cost to attend the University of Virginia is going up.
During meetings that ended Wednesday, the university’s Board of Visitors approved a series of tuition increases that raise the total cost of attending the Charlottesville school.
One measure will increase total costs by 3.6 percent, or about $470, to $13,468 for in-state undergraduate students and by 3.7 percent, or about $1,580, to $43,764 for out-of-state undergraduates.
Those increases are in addition to a plan passed Tuesday that raises tuition for incoming students.
Under the increases, incoming first-year in-state undergraduate students will see tuition and fees rise about 11 percent, or $1,470, next year.
The Daily Progress reports (http://bit.ly/1NgGMvY) that the hikes aim to cover projected shortfalls from state mandates, faculty raises, additional health staff and public safety.
