How do UNCG’s tuition & fee rates compare nationally?
• For the twelfth year in a row, UNCG was ranked among
the nation’s "best value” public colleges by The Princeton Review, an honor earned by only about 15 percent of the nation’s four-year colleges.
• In addition, Forbes Magazine included UNCG in its 2010
list of America’s Best College Buys. The university was listed 37th among 100 colleges and universities in the United States.
College Board Study of Undergraduate Tuition & Fees
College Board annual study of average undergraduate costs of tuition and fees at four-year public colleges (2010-11 data):
• The in-state cost of tuition and fees at public universities averaged
$7,605 in comparison to UNCG's cost of $4,926.
• For non-residents, the cost of tuition and fees at all public universities averaged $19,595, in comparison to UNCG's non-resident cost of $16,687.
It's easy to see how The Princeton Review and Forbes concluded that UNCG offers an outstanding value.
What is tuition?
• Tuition (along with state appropriations) supports the cost of delivering instruction, academic support, and essential administrative infrastructure.

What are Fees?
• UNC system Board of Governors authorized campuses to charge “general fees,” “fees related to the retirement of debt,” an “ASG fee,” and several special fees.
• Fees support student programs, services, and facilities on the campuses for which state funding can not be used.

• Maintenance of athletics facilities is supported by the student activities fee.
What does it provide?--Educational and Technology Fee
• Educational = formerly “course fees”
• Technology = partial support of IT for student class and out-of-class use
What does it provide?--Facilities Fee
• Pays-off the debt incurred on “capital projects” when student facilities are built or renovated—for example:– Soccer stadium– Student Recreation Center – Baseball stadium– EUC renovation– Student Health Center expansion/renovation
