GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The University of Florida on Wednesday said its Board of Trustees will meet in July to consider increasing student fees for out-of-state students, something the university says hasn’t been done in a decade.

The 10% increase will be voted on at a special meeting on July 23 at 11 a.m., and if approved, would go into effect beginning Fall 2025, the university said.
Additionally, UF cited rising operational costs as the primary reason for the rate hike.
"The low cost of attendance at Florida’s public institutions — including UF — is made possible through generous state funding," the school said. "UF has not increased out-of-state rates in over a decade...Despite this proposal, the cost of attendance at UF will remain among the lowest in the country for out-of-state students."
A chart breaking down the fee increase shows that undergraduate students would go from paying around $700 to $$777, while graduate students would go from paying $690 to $759.

UF adds that the proposal will not affect the tuition of fees of in-state students.
