In accordance with Section 23.1-307 of the Code of Virginia and Board Policy 1106 Public Comment on Undergraduate Tuition and Mandatory Fee Increases, Old Dominion University is asking the Board of Visitors to consider a tuition increase for undergraduate and graduate students ranging between 0 to 3 percent, effective summer semester. In addition, an increase of non-educational and general fees ranging between 0 to 3 percent will be considered for all students. These increases reflect the continued commitment to affordability at Old Dominion, which remains the most affordable public doctoral institution in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The additional tuition and fee revenue will be used to retain and attract faculty, invest in STEM-H degree production, provide student financial assistance, maintain the operation of facilities, enhance the technology infrastructure, and fund mandated compensation increases and board-approved capital investments in auxiliary fee-supported operations.
The projected semester increase for students could range between $0-$330 for full-time in-state students and between $0-$900 for out-of-state students.
In order to share comments on the options the Board of Visitors will consider for the 2021-2022 academic year, individuals may email the Board's student representative, Bridget Groble, at StudentBOVRep@odu.edu.
In addition, individuals will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed 2021-2022 tuition and fees during the Executive Committee meeting at 12:00 p.m. Public comment will be allowed following the administration's presentation on the proposed tuition and fees.
Anyone who wishes to comment at this session must register in advance with Donna Meeks, Executive Secretary to the Board of Visitors, no later than 10:00 a.m. on Friday, March 19, 2021. Requests must be made via email (dmeeks@odu.edu) and will be accepted on a first-come, first served basis. Registered speakers will have up to three minutes to speak and comment must be limited to the topic of undergraduate tuition and mandatory fee increases. The public comment session will be limited to 60 minutes or less if those wishing to comment have had an opportunity to do so.
The Board of Visitors will vote on the 2021-2022 Tuition and Fee Proposal at its meeting on Thursday, April 22, 2021.
