University of Alaska announces 5% tuition hike

University of Alaska students will see a 5 percent tuition hike next year.

For Alaska residents, that means lower division classes for the 2017-2018 school year will cost $202 per credit hour at all campuses except Kodiak and the Prince William Sound College, which will be slightly cheaper.

Upper division classes jump to $244 per credit hour, and graduate courses will ring in at $466 per credit.

Non-resident tuition increases to more than $513 per credit.

The Board of Regents approved the increase at its Nov. 10 meeting in Fairbanks.

The tuition rate goes into effect starting with the fall 2017 semester.
