The University of Virginia Board of Visitors will consider 2021-22 tuition and fees for UVA and UVA’s College at Wise during a March 5 meeting, with a workshop and public comment period scheduled for Feb. 17 to gather feedback.

The board will consider a proposal to increase undergraduate tuition within a range of zero to 3.1%. The proposal assumes that unrestricted state appropriations will remain at essentially the same level specified in the 2020-22 Appropriation Act. If the General Assembly makes changes to UVA’s appropriation, adjustments to tuition rates may be proposed this summer.

The board previously approved increases to some fees, including a mandatory $75 non-Education & General fee associated with the expansion of Student Health and Wellness Services and a 1.5% increase in mandatory non-Education General fees to meet operating cost increases.

The Feb. 17 workshop and public comment will be held over Zoom from noon to 1 p.m. to solicit feedback for the March meeting. Individuals may provide comments to the board on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration is open; those who wish to speak at the meeting must register by emailing boardofvisitors@virginia.edu and including their name, contact information and affiliation with the University or community.

Written comments concerning tuition and fees will also be accepted and may be submitted via email to respond_uva_tuition@virginia.edu.
