Tuition Discussion

Campus Initiated Tuition Proposal• NCA&T proposes to strategically increase campus based tuition

for the next five years.

• Additional resources are necessary to continue to promote academic excellence, and recruit and retain quality faculty and researchers.

• In our Carnegie classification of Research –High Activity, our peer institutions within the UNC system (ECU, UNC-C & UNC-G) have advanced aggressive strategies for revenue enhancement through tuition increases and have used the funding to implement strategic initiatives within the last four years.

• NCA&T must embrace this same aggressive strategy in order to remain competitive.

Campus Initiated Tuition Proposal (cont.)

• NCA&T has not implemented a campus initiated tuition increase for undergraduates since 2006-2007.

• While we have tried to remain a low cost option for our students, we find ourselves unable to successfully compete with our peer group with the necessary financial resources that campus tuition can provide.

• The following slides illustrate our rankings within the UNC system for tuition and fee costs.

Legislative Tuition IncreaseFY 2010-2011

The General Assembly has approved a tuition increase for all UNC institutions of 8% or $200.00, whichever is less. For NCA&T this equates to:

FY 2009-10 Legislative FY 2010-2011Category Tuition Increase Tuition

Resident Undergraduate 1,994 160 2,154

Non- Resident Undergraduate 11,436 200 11,636

Resident Graduate 2,266 181 2,447

Non-Resident Graduate 11,851 200 12,051

Legislative Tuition Increase (cont.)

• The UNC System and NCA&T would like to present an alternative to the currently approved legislative increase for FY 2010-11.

• The alternative CITI would be less than the legislative increase and allow the revenue generated to be used by the campus to advance university priorities.

• In order for the CITI recommendation to move forward, the legislative increase would have to be rescinded.

• Without the rescission or a change to the current legislation, a CITI would not be implemented.

Campus Based Tuition IncreaseFY 2010-2011

• Campus based tuition will be increased for both undergraduate and graduate students.

Undergraduate Graduate Resident $110.00 $125.00

Non-Resident $110.00 $125.00

• This equates to an increase of 5.50% for resident students.

• 50% of the revenue generated will be used for need based financial aid.

• The additional 50% will be used for academic and student support as well as faculty competitiveness.

Campus Based Tuition Increase (cont.) FY 2010-2011

• Even with the strategy of modest tuition increases over the next five years, NCA&T will still remain behind our peers and NCCU based on their current rates.Comparable Institutions:
