<p>D may enroll in UIUC next fall. Does UIUC lock the tuition for the class of 2015?</p>
<p>Each entering freshman class is locked into the same tuition for four years. That lock does not apply to fees or room & board. Of course, the amount of tuition you will pay as a freshman (and thereafter) will not be set until spring 2011 and you should assume it will be more than this year’s class.</p>
<p>While this might seem like a nice deal beware that is also means it is harder for UI to cover shortfalls in state funding which can mean fewer class sections and other cuts in education programs that could impact you. Cheaper is not always better.</p>
<p>starting next year, there actually will be a lock on room & board. at university dorms anyway. the only requirement is that you live with them continuously.</p>
