7 What is Tuition? Tuition (along with state appropriations) supports the cost of delivering instruction, academic support, and essential administrative infrastructure.

8 What are the Guiding Principles* of the UNCG Tuition Committee? 1. UNCG must remain affordable for its neediest students. 2. UNCG must not significantly increase its rank among the constituent UNC institutions in terms of cost. 3. Recommended actions are believed to provide positive contribution toward the quality of the students educational/learning experience. *These principles were established by UNCG s first CITI Committee in Fall 2000 and observed by each subsequent committee.
