Oregon State University’s Board of Trustees voted Friday to freeze tuition rates for returning students in light of COVID-19.
The tuition freeze applies to undergraduate students already enrolled at OSU’s Corvallis and Bend campuses, according to a press release. It applies to students taking classes during summer term and for the 2020-21 academic year.
Other students will see tuition increase, though. The board approved a 3.2% tuition increase for new undergraduate students in Corvallis. For the Bend campus, in-state students will see a tuition increase of 4.72%, and new out-of-state students will have a 3.2% increase.
Graduate students also will see a tuition increase between 2.5% and 4.5%.
However, OSU also is considering providing tuition relief to new students enrolling this fall, the release stated.
