MARQUETTE, MI— The Northern Michigan University Board of Trustees has approved new tuition and fee rates for the coming school year.
The average resident undergraduate will pay $7,889 per semester beginning this fall—an increase of $325.50 per semester. Graduate tuition will increase by $32 per credit.
Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration, Gavin Leach, says because the state budget hasn’t been finalized, NMU’s tuition structure was formed around the Executive, House, and Senate versions, all of which offer no base operations increase.
He says in order to balance the budget, operational cost reductions will be realized through savings from an Early Buyout Plan and budgetary reallocations.
