MADISON (WKOW) -- The UW System has approved a tuition hike.
The UW System Board of Regent's decision will make for a 5.5 percent increase at all of the 26 two- and four-year colleges in the system.
That's about $381 at the four-year universities and $235 at the two-year schools. The figures don't include additional student fees.
The increases apply to undergraduates who are Wisconsin residents. Tuition for out-of-state students would also increase, but by a smaller percentage because their base tuition's are much higher.
This is the fifth straight year that base tuition has increased 5.5 percent at the 13 four-year schools. The rate hike also marks the end of a four-year tuition freeze at the 13 two-year colleges.
