The Oregon State University Budget Committee, which includes student representatives, considers a number of factors in its tuition and fee recommendations for the university’s Board of Trustees to consider each year. These include:
- Affordability for all students
- Access to a high-quality education
- Undergraduate financial aid need and allocations to assist students with highest need
- Projected cost and revenue changes for FY18, including projections for flat state funding in the 2017-19 biennium, important strategic commitments, and existing commitments
- Fall 2016 enrollments and enrollment targets for Fall 2017
- Comparisons of tuition rates with peer universities
- Impact of tuition increases on enrollment for undergraduate students
- Any constraints from the Legislature on setting tuition and mandatory fees
Please provide feedback for the committee to consider.
