<p>Yep, all current PSU students got an email about this. There is some hope that the state congress will not go for it. let’s hope the increase will be minor.</p>

<p>HB 1416 passed. The increase in tuition for PSU students will actually be higher than expected.</p>

<p>It’s not as high as expected, I believe it’s up to 5%, not the 10% they expected</p>

<p>3.5% to be exact. second lowest increase in PSU history.</p>

<p>4.5% according to the Collegian-
“After weeks of planning, the Executive Committee of Penn State’s Board of Trustees set tuition Friday at the lower rate of two different options: a 4.5 percent increase for in-state students and a 3.7 percent increase for out-of-state students.”

<p>And there’s still the possibility of a mid-year increase depending on what happens with the state budget.</p>

<p>ah oops. had it confused. Let’s hope the mid-year increase does not go down.</p>

<p>So let’s say we did not get the $60 million or whatever from the government thing. Does that mean mid-year increase will be close to 20% because the first 10% would make up for the lack of fall increase and the remaining 10% will be for spring? I don’t really know how to explain what I mean but how does the worse case scenario for mid-year increase look right now?</p>

<p>I understand what you mean but don’t know the answer.</p>
