Proposal
1. Increase tuition rate by 5 percent in AY 2019 and again in AY 2020

Tuition increases and budget cuts
16
Community Campus Tuition Parity
• The proposal is limited to tuition; it does not include fees.
• The cost of living at 8 of UA’s 15 campuses is at or above Kodiak; 4 are higher than Valdez. Students at all those higher cost of living locations pay full tuition (see appendix).
• 25% tuition discount for occupational endorsements and certificates.
17
25% tuition discount for occupational endorsements and certificates.$1 million dollars in budget request to provide this discount to students in programs such as:
• Pharmacy Technology
• Nondestructive Testing Tech
• Logistics
• Wild land Fire Science
• Rural Utilities Business Management
• Welding
• Fisheries Technology
18
25% tuition discount

FAQs
How does tuition get spent?
Tuition supplements general funds to cover instructional costs. Tuition is distributed at the campuses through a revenue sharing model:
• 60/40 UAF
• 80/20 UAA, UAS
• CC’s retain 100% of their tuition;
• Exceptions to the revenue split varies (see appendix)
20
FAQs
Will a tuition increase hurt enrollment?
In Alaska, there is little evidence that tuition and overall enrollment are highly correlated for traditional student populations. In the mid-2000’s UA aggressively raised tuition 10% for four consecutive years which coincided with some of the largest enrollments at UA. Conversely, years in which UA has chosen to seek tuition increases that approximate inflation enrollment has not increased appreciably.
21
FAQs
What about our fees? How do they get spent?
Fees cover direct services provided to students. These range from specific course fees (labs) or program fees (nursing) to institutional fees (student organization).
Fees are either cost recovery OR less (sometimes much less) than cost recovery.
See appendix for list of mandatory student fees.
22
Appendix
23
UA Tuition DistributionTuition is the general contribution that students make to their education at the university and is “not directly connected to a specific course or program” (BOR P05.10.020H).
Tuition paid to UA is distributed within the universities to support academic programs, as well as scholarships and tuition waivers (which are largely funded by nonresident surcharge), some student services including advising, and a small fraction of certain facilities and infrastructure costs.
UA’s total tuition and fee revenue is much less than the total direct instructional costs incurred by UAA, UAF, and UAS. The largest part of the direct instructional costs partly covered by tuition are faculty salaries, with much smaller amounts expended for graduate teaching assistants, services, supplies, and equipment.
24
Tuition Distribution at UAA
Tuition Community Campus Exceptions Non-resident Surcharge
Anchorage campus tuition revenue is distributed 80% to the college generating the revenue, and 20% centrally to cover campus-wide needs, such as academic tuition waivers and annual SW system computing assessment.
The four UAA communitycampuses retain 100% oftheir tuition and managetheir resources as a separateallocation.
Three Masters levelprograms on the Anchoragecampus retain 100% of theirprogrammatic tuitionsurcharge fees due to thecost recovery nature of theprograms: MS ProjectManagement, MS Healthand MS Global Supply ChainManagement.
Non-resident surcharge is treated as tuition revenue.
25
Tuition Distribution at UAFTuition Community Campus Exceptions Non-resident Surcharge
The normal tuition revenue distribution for UAF Fairbanks Campus is 60% to the School or Collegedelivering the course and 40% toCentral.
Tuition distributed to schools and colleges ($25.8 million in FY17) is part of their unrestricted revenue, which also includes State appropriation, student fee revenue, and indirect cost recovery, along with a few other small sources.
School/college tuition revenue is always much less than the unit’s direct instructional costs, so tuition only partly covers those costs. The other revenue sources (mainly State appropriation) cover the rest, which are mainly faculty salaries, and include much smaller amounts for staff support, administration, commodities and services.
The Central allocation of resident tuition is distributed to student services, including advising ($3.5 million in FY17) and to utilities payments and other facilities support ($4.9 million in FY17).
The community campuses retain 100% of their tuition revenue to cover many of the same costs noted for Fairbanks Campus.
School of Management and College of Engineering and Mines’ regular tuition is subject to the normal 60/40 split, and they retain the 20% tuition surcharge.
UAF eLearning (a service unit rather than an academic unit) retains 5% of tuition revenue, while Central receives 35% and the Fairbanks campus School or College delivering the course receives 60%. However, community campus courses receive 75%, with the eLearning and Central share reduced to 3% and 22%, respectively.
UAF Summer Sessions and Lifelong Learning retains 100% of their tuition revenues (with some distribution to Colleges/Programs where specific arrangements are in place).
100% of the non-resident surchargeaccrues to Central and is used to fundscholarships and graduate teaching assistantships.
For FY17 $5.2 million was spent on graduate teaching assistantships and on several different types of student tuition waivers (talent/merit/needs-based).
$2.7 million was spent on tuition discounts mandated by Policy (WUE, Come Home to Alaska, etc.)
26
Tuition Distribution at UAS
At UAS, 80% of tuition is retained by academic departments to supplement GF and other revenue sources to cover direct costs of program delivery.
Community campusesretain 100% of theirtuition revenue.
--100% of the non-resident fee and 20% of regular tuition is centrally held is to: Supplement funding in the Library,
Learning Center, IT, Student Services and the Provost Office
Help fund student tuition waivers Help fund web delivered services such
as the Blackboard Learn and the web content management system.

Exceptions Non-resident surcharge
27
Fees
• Fees cover direct services provided to students as opposed to tuition which supplements general funds to cover instructional costs.
• Fees range from specific course fees (labs) or program fees (nursing) to institutional fees (student organization fees).
• Fees are either cost recovery OR less (sometimes much less) than cost recovery.
• Fees are charged for services provided at the system, university, and campus level and vary by the student’s location. A student at Kodiak College, for example, though part of UAA, does not pay housing or recreation center fees to UAA.
