BOULDER Colo.
University of Colorado is considering a 14.5 percent increase in tuition for in-state students at its main Boulder campus.
The university’s governing Board of Regents could approved the increase at a meeting Thursday. It would raise tuition in Boulder by $664 a year to $5,218 for in-state students.
Resident students would pay an extra $724 a year at the Denver campus and $285 at the Colorado Springs campus.
Tuition would rise $1,130 a year, or 5 percent, for new out-of-state students at the Boulder campus. Out-of-state tuition for new students at the Denver campus would rise 5 percent but would not change at the Colorado Springs campus.
Out-of-state students already attending CU would remain at the current tuition rate.
“We have to do this to provide a role that is very significant to the state,” said Robert Moore, CU’s vice president of budget and finance.
