Those looking to attend one of the University of California’s 10 campuses next year may need to set aside some extra cash. The UC Board of Regents approved a tuition increase for new students beginning in fall 2022.
The plan calls for tuition and fees to rise by 4.2% for new undergraduates. That means, at the current level, each student will need to shell out an additional $534 annually with the total amount of tuition and fees reaching over $13,000. It’s the first hike in four years after the regents postponed a plan to raise tuition during the pandemic.
