Several of Florida’s public universities are signaling they may raise out-of-state tuition, following a new rule approved by the state’s Board of Governors last month.

The policy, adopted unanimously in mid-June, gives universities the authority to increase nonresident fees by up to 10 percent for the upcoming academic year, with the possibility of an additional 5 percent next year. Since the vote, a number of institutions have posted notices indicating their boards of trustees will consider the fee hikes at meetings scheduled later this month.

The University of Florida’s board is set to meet July 23, with a proposal on the table to raise undergraduate out-of-state fees from $707.21 to roughly $777.93 per credit hour. Similar notices have been issued by Florida State University, which will take up the matter on July 24, the University of South Florida, and the University of Central Florida all of whom have scheduled their discussions for July 31.

None of the proposals would affect in-state tuition, which remains unchanged.

The Board of Governors’ policy requires that any tuition or fee increase first receive approval from the institution’s board of trustees before being sent back to the board for final authorization. Schools must also keep their in-state to out-of-state enrollment ratios intact under state law.

Even with the proposed hikes, Florida’s out-of-state tuition remains low compared to national averages. USF, for instance, would see its undergraduate nonresident rate climb from $346.50 to $381.15 per credit hour—still among the lowest in the state.
