Have you heard of any school that is adjusting their tuition rates as a result of having to go all virtual? which ones are holding a hard line or even raising the fees regardless of the mode of instruction
Northwestern increased tuition.
Purdue is on year nine of a tuition freeze and is offering a discount for students taking all courses remotely off campus.
Tuition freeze at 2019-2020 rate for DD small LAC. It’s not much since half the year is online at home, but at least it’s something. Of course, the college can compensate for this via financial aid offer schananigans. So who knows, could be just a marketing ploy.
Decent discount? or token one at Purdue?
@spicypretzel - Purdue is using the summer online price structuring for Fall. An OOS student taking 15 credit hours would save roughly $3K/semester on tuition plus of course have no room and board costs. So roughly $12,700 to do fully online vs $20k (w/r&b) to be at school for the semester.
