2027–28 Tuition and Fee Committee

Overview

Fayetteville State University’s Tuition and Fee Committee reviews proposed tuition and fee changes for the 2027–28 academic year. The committee considers the resources needed to support quality educational programs and student services while maintaining affordability for students and families.

The committee includes student representatives and University administrators. Its work includes reviewing financial information, considering alternatives to rate increases, gathering student feedback, and recommending action through the University’s approval process.

This page provides committee materials, proposed rate changes, presentation links, and opportunities for student input. Rates presented for review are proposals and remain subject to the applicable approvals.

Review Process

The committee evaluates each proposal based on its purpose, financial justification, and impact on students. Reviews consider:

  • Current and proposed rates, including the dollar and percentage change.
  • How additional revenue would be used and which students would be affected.
  • Operating costs, available fund balances, and alternatives to an increase.
  • Student feedback and the combined effect of tuition, fees, housing, and dining costs.
  • Applicable UNC System requirements.

Departments present their proposals to the committee, and materials are made available for campus review. Student forums provide opportunities to ask questions and offer feedback before the committee discusses and votes on its recommendations.
Committee recommendations proceed to the Chancellor and Board of Trustees.
