The University System of Georgia’s Board of Regents voted Tuesday on the 2025-2026 academic year tuition rates and to consolidate Georgia Southern University and East Georgia State College.

The Board of Regents voted not to increase in-state undergraduate tuition for the 2025-2026 academic year while approving a tuition increase of 2% for out-of-state students and 3% for international students.

Nevertheless, students at the University of North Georgia and Albany State University will see tuition increases of $24 per credit hour and $21 per credit hour, respectively. This move is meant to standardize tuition rates across programs.
