Proposed tuition increase in 2025, 2026 and public meetings

A message from the University of Hawaiʻi Office of the Vice President for Academic Strategy dated Oct. 28:

Aloha students and employees of the 10-campus system,

The University of Hawaiʻi System is proposing a freeze on undergraduate tuition for two more academic years (AY) 2023–24 and AY 2024–25 followed by a 2% increase in resident tuition rates at the three UH universities in AY 2025–26 and a 2% increase in AY 2026–27.

Non-resident tuition rates would increase by the equivalent dollar amount in each of those two academic years.

Community college and graduate tuition rates are proposed to be frozen for all four academic years EXCEPT for the UH Mānoa William S. Richardson School of Law, which would increase by 2% in each of the three years beginning in AY 2024–25 to generate revenue to support the law school.

The proposed tuition schedule can be viewed here.
