<p>Under the proposed budget, a first-year Michigan resident student entering the U-M College of Literature, Science and the Arts would pay $9,213 per year for tuition and all required fees, an increase of $1,012, while a nonresident student would pay $27,601, an increase of $1,574before calculating financial aid support.</p>
<p>That sucks.</p>
<p>Is that what you are saying? Does the legislature have to approve this? When does this become policy?</p>
<p>I think UM has authority over tuition.</p>
<p>therefore the state legislature would control some degree of the budget.</p>
<p>What was Wisconsin's increase? What's the oos tuition for Wisconsin next year? Somebody said Wisconsin raised tuition over $1,000. True?</p>
<p>Michigan works a lot like other states. The University's Board of Regents approves any tuition increases and they go into effect. Those decisions do not go to the legislature. The reason for the increase is that the legislature and the governor keep cutting the amount of funding that goes to the university because of the state's overall budget problems, and the university makes up the short fall by increasing tuition. The increase is about 12.3% for in-state and 6.9% for out-of-state students and it goes into effect Fall 2005.</p>
<p>The Regents voted Thursday; it's a done deal. Hazmat, the legislature doesn't control tuition. Sometimes the governor or legislature will enter into a tuition restraint agreement with the universities, but last time they did this, the universities kept their word and the state didn't. They will have a hard time selling that arrangement again.</p>
<p>drusba has it right, generally, but the increase was 6% for nonresidents. Not 6.9%</p>

<p>So there is no agreement regarding the %rise in tuition, I see. Thanks for answering that. So...it is 12.3% instate and less to out of state. So......why would the UofMich who is short on funds, not then want to accept greater numbers of out-of-state tuition paying students......greater amount of funds coming in. I should think this gives an advantage to "others". Is this the old Land Grant school where they must admit some agreed % of instate students???</p>
<p>UW tuition</p>
<p>"tuition and segregated fees per academic year for those at UW-Madison will be $6,280." OOS also had a very small increase of about $400/year. Total now just over $20,000.</p>
<p>Is the percent of OOS students increasing? Is it static? I am curious for this seems to be a trend at the Land Grant Universities. The legislatures starve them, tuition rises, *****ing ensues and then there is an effort for Capitol Campaign from alums.....in some cases lack of funding has caused programs to offered at only 1 campus and that the flagship campuses are now reserved for students of highest credentials.</p>
<p>Static............</p>
<p>Sounds like bad news for the next few years on tuition. I am wondering if the demand for UofM is down.....I don't know. I know it is still cheaper than some schools but that is a different discussion. I should think they would be taking a greater number of OOS/Foreign type students to help the budget out.</p>
<p>this is great! please increase the instate tuition more!!!</p>
<p>and really want to go to UMich.....huh?</p>
<p>i am out of state, and no.</p>
<p>do out of state students equally qualify for financial aid as in-state students do?</p>
<p>You would qualify the same way I should think....it is in the award and many award programs follow the EFC via FAFSA. I should think your loan component might be higher than at a private school. I don't know for sure.</p>
<p>Dstark, why were you willing to take this on oos? Almost as much as a private. UMich is a good school, but did you weigh the cost against the private educations your daughter could have had for the same money?</p>
<p>Zagat, I really like Michigan. My daughter is getting a lot of personal attention from professors (more than she wants). She gets to live in a great college town with fantastic school spirit. </p>
<p>More importantly, she likes the school. It was her number 1 choice. Where do your (kid) kids go?</p>
