The University of Arizona has announced that tuition and mandatory fees for resident undergraduate students will not increase for the 2025-2026 academic year. The decision is part of the university’s tuition, fees and housing rates plan.
“By maintaining our current resident undergraduate tuition and fees, we are working to prevent financial barriers to academic opportunity. Our goal is to ensure our students graduate ready to shape a brighter future for their families, for Arizona and beyond,” UA President Suresh Garimella said.
Non-resident undergraduate tuition will increase by 2% (from $40,520 to $41,330), while tuition for graduate and medical students will rise by 3%.
Meal plan costs will all see a 2% increase across all plans and residence hall rates will go up between 2-5.3%, depending on the housing option.
This announcement comes as the university continues to find ways to implement various measures to address its financial deficit, including reduced financial aid for out-of-state students, department centralization and mandatory monthly expenditure plans.
