MARQUETTE, MI-- Northern Michigan University officials have set tuition and fees for next school year.
On Friday NMU’s Board of Trustees approved a rate of $5,280.50 per semester for full-time resident
undergraduates. That’s an increase of $237.50 per semester from last year’s rate.
Nonresident undergraduate tuition will increase the same amount and graduate tuition is going up by $24 a credit hour. Course fees will remain unchanged.
The board determined the budget for university operations will continue at its current level until a new state general fund budget is approved.
In other action last week the board unanimously approved a five-percent raise for President Fritz Erickson, to $262,000. His contract has been extended by one year to 2020. Deferred compensation has increased by $15,000 per year for the first two years, with another $35,000 the final year if Erickson remains at Northern for the full term of his contract.
