Radford University Board of Visitors will consider tuition and mandatory fee rates for the 2024-2025 academic year at its quarterly meeting on March 22, 2024, at the Roanoke Higher Education Center, 108 North Jefferson Street, Roanoke, Virginia.
In preparation for the meeting, the Board of Visitors will host a budget overview and public comment session on March 12 from 3-4:30 p.m. in the Mary Ann Jennings Hovis Memorial Board Room in Martin Hall at 915 East Main Street, Radford, Virginia.
During this session, Vice President for Finance and Administration Rob Hoover will present a financial overview and fiscal year 2025 considerations. Following the presentation, the Board of Visitors will receive public comment on the proposed tuition and fee rates.
The Board of Visitors will consider an increase between 0 and 2 percent in tuition and mandatory fees for undergraduate students. Radford University has maintained a strong commitment to the Highlander educational experience remaining accessible and affordable for students and their families now and into the future. Radford University remains one of the lowest total cost public institutions in Virginia. Several factors will determine whether an increase is necessary, including: the anticipated budget for the Commonwealth of Virginia and specific allocations to support the University, as well as student services initiatives contained in the University's Strategic Plan, rising operational costs and any state-mandated compensation increases.
