MEMORANDUM TO: Legislative Oversight Commission on Education Accountability FROM: Paul L. Hill Sarah Armstrong Tucker DATE: August 22, 2016 RE: Report on Tuition and Fees for the 2016-2017 Academic Year West Virginia Code §18B-10-1(k)(1) requires the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission (Commission) and the West Virginia Council for Community and Technical College Education to approve any proposed resident tuition and fee increases for state institutions of higher education in excess of five percent. The following types of tuition and fee increases are exempt from the five percent limitation:  Programmed fee increases constituted as part of pre-existing institutional bond obligations or covenants.  Tuition increases related to fee simplification proposals that result in an expense neutral change for an in-state student. The average percentage increase, for resident undergraduate students at the State’s public four-year institutions (including West Virginia University – Potomac State College) is 4.9 percent. The average percentage increase for resident students at the State’s public community and technical colleges is 5.3 percent. BridgeValley Community and Technical College requested a 7 percent increase, Eastern West Virginia Community and Technical College requested a 9 percent increase, and New River Community and Technical College requested a 7 percent increase. The Council, after careful review, agreed that each of these institutions had budgetary needs that justified their request. The tuition and fees for the 2016-2017 academic year, as approved by the Commission on July 18, 2016 and the Council on July 27, 2016 are outlined by institution in the following tables:  Summary of Regular Tuition and Fees for Undergraduate Students at Four-Year Institutions  Regular Tuition and Fees for Graduate Students and First Professional at Four-Year Institutions  Room and Board Charges at Four-Year Institutions  Special Fees and Charges at Four-Year Institutions  Summary of Tuition and Fees for Residents and Non-Residents at Two-Year Institutions  Average Five-Year Tuition and Fees from 2010-11 through 2015-16 at Two-Year Institutions 3
