WVU system tuition costs to increase
Published June 27, 2022
The West Virginia University system will experience a tuition increase by an average of more than 2.5% for the coming fiscal year under a new $1.2 billion budget.
The WVU Board of Governors approved the budget, which includes a 2.62% or $120 increase per semester for resident students. Nonresident students will pay 2.88% more, or $372, per semester.
Housing rates will go up 3% except at WVU Tech in Beckley. Dining fees will rise by 4.5%, partly due to inflation, the university said in a news release after the board's approval Friday.
