The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (USG) voted Tuesday to approve tuition rates for the 2025-26 academic year at USG’s 26 public colleges and universities and it will mean increases for some University of North Georgia (UNG) students. There will be no tuition increase, however, for most in-state undergraduates, while out-of-state tuition will increase by 2%, and out-of-country tuition will rise by 3%.
This will be the seventh time in 10 years that the Board has approved keeping overall tuition costs flat for Georgia students across most institutions. Average tuition increases for an undergraduate, in-state Georgia student over the past decade have been less than 1%, well below the rate of inflation.
While tuition overall will remain flat for most in-state undergraduates, the Board approved exceptions for the UNG and Albany State University (ASU). Both are set to begin the first in a three-year plan to bring undergraduate tuition into alignment across all programs at each institution. This means increases ranging from $21 per credit hour at ASU to $24 per credit hour at UNG for any undergraduates currently paying less than the prevailing tuition rate.
The Board also approved changes to mandatory fees at eight of USG’s 26 institutions. Among the eight institutions, fee changes at two of those institutions will result in reduced fees for students.
The decision to keep tuition flat for most in-state undergraduates comes a year after the Board voted to increase in-state undergraduate tuition by 2.5%.
