NORFOLK, Ba. (WAVY) — Old Dominion University is scheduled to host a public forum with members of the Board of Visitors on Thursday, March 28, to discuss a possible increase in tuition fees.
The meeting is set to go from 1:30-3:30 p.m. in the Board Room of the Broderick Dining Commons on the main campus. ODU is requesting consideration of a tuition increase for undergraduate students, both in-state and out-of-state, ranging between 0-5% and 0-7% for mandatory fees starting fall 2024.
“Additional tuition and fee revenue will be utilized to retain and attract faculty; invest in STEM-H degree production, maintain facility operations, enhance technology infrastructure; further strategic initiatives; and provide funding for other items, such as mandated compensation increases and Board-approved capital investments,” a release states.
Individuals will have an opportunity to comment following the administration’s presentation on the 2024-2025 proposed tuition and fees. Those wishing to comment must register in advance with Donna Meeks, Executive Secretary to the Board of Visitors, no later than 10 a.m. on Wednesday, March 27.
Requests must be made in writing via email at dmeeks@odu.edu, and will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.
