<p>For 1st years, tuition and fees up 8.9% to $11,576 (IS) and $36,570 (OOS). In terms of dollars, that is $948 and $2,996, respectively. All first-year housing up 4.51% or $210 to $4,870. Meal plan up 4.34% or $170 to $4,090. </p>
<p>So the estimated cost of attendance as posted right now is close to actual -- a little low by $200-$300. </p>
<p>Renovation of Gilmer (bio & psych) & the Chem building proposed to start next year for $130M.</p>
<p>Thank goodness for the Virginia Prepaid Tuition Program…10 years ago I paid $18,000 to pay for 4 years tuition and fees at any Virginia public college or university. My son is now a first year at UVa at a prepaid cost of $4,500 per year (excluding room and board). </p>
<p>Virginia has an outstanding selection of public colleges and universities. The prepaid program may not make sense for everyone, but it sure worked out well for us!</p>
<p>You’ve reported that before any of the media. (It was decided Thursday apparently).</p>
<p>All the public universities in Va. are approving similar increases because of decreasing support from the state budget and the expiration of the Federal stimulus programs.</p>
<p>Does anyone have a link to Board of Visitors action on this? I heard President Sullivan speak to a group of parents of current students Friday, 4/9. When specifically asked about tuition for next school year, she said it was not yet decided.</p>
<p>I guess it’s no surprise that the cost will once again go up well above the general inflation rate. That’s a big increase.</p>
<p>So it looks like 2012-13 will get the dubious honor of breaking $50K for non-Virginians.</p>
<p>As long as tuition + dorming + food = close to 45k I’m happy :)</p>
<p>Ohhhh man. I hope this all works out in the end.</p>
<p>The state has cut funding for in-state students by something like $3,000 per student over the last few years. Fortunately, UVa has a large endowment and generous alums that has allowed the quality to continue to be high, and allows large amounts of need-based aid.</p>

<p>The original poster’s info for undergrads is correct. Attached is the official list of costs for 2011-12 for all types of housing and all levels of tuition.</p>
<p>In addition, the Commerce School will cost $3,000 more than all other undergrad programs, starting with incoming 3rd year students.</p>

<p>Another article said $3 million of the proceeds of the tuition increase will be used to increase the number of faculty members, to address the increases in enrollment. It is an excellent time to be able to hire faculty, because no one else in the country will be hiring tenure-track profs.<br>

<p>Not exactly no one–but one of relatively few would be more accurate.</p>

<p>Here we go with the UW boosting. At least U-Va offers decent financial aid.</p>
