CORVALLIS, Ore. — Oregon State University students will be paying more next school year.
The Corvallis Gazette-Times reports that the university’s Board of Trustees voted for the increases Thursday.
Undergraduate tuition for an in-state student taking 15 credit hours will be $8,535 a year in 2015-16, a 7.6 percent increase, while nonresident students will pay $27,195, a 5.7 percent jump.
The Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Commission must approve the increases because they are greater than 5 percent.
The new flat rate structure also completes the phase-out of the university’s tuition plateau, which previously gave a tuition price break to undergraduate students taking 13-15 credit hours.
