Notice of Proposed Changes to University Fees

Pursuant to Board of Governors Regulation 7.001(4), the University of North Florida is providing notice of proposed changes to current University tuition and fees as well as student housing. The proposed changes will be presented to the UNF Board of Trustees at its quarterly meeting on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. at the Adam W. Herbert University Center, 12000 Alumni Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32224.

UNF will be seeking approval of the following, effective for Fall 2026:

• Proposed 15% increase to the Non-Resident Undergraduate and Non-Resident Graduate out-of-state fee and financial aid fee.
• Proposed Repeat Course Surcharge for Academic Year 2026 - 2027 which is to be determined by the Board of Governors.
• Proposed Housing and Resident Life 5% rental rate increase for Academic Year 2026 - 2027 and rental rate increases for Academic Years 2027 - 2028 and 2028 - 2029 not to exceed 5%.

Tuition and fees assist in funding instruction, salaries, benefits, and operational costs of the University. The last tuition increase was in 2013. The current proposed increase for the 2026-2027 academic year is needed to continue to support the mission and overall success of the University.

The Repeat Course Surcharge is based on the estimated system operating budget total expenditures for the current fiscal year and the estimated total undergraduate student credit hours for the corresponding academic year. The current year Repeat Course Surcharge for FY 2026-2027 will be determined by the BOG and once released the amount will be updated accordingly.

Housing and Residence Life is proposing a rental rate increase of 5% due to inflationary operational and maintenance costs. The fees collected will fund current and projected increases in expenses and enhance the experience of residential students.

Florida Statutes Ch.1009.24 provides the UNF Board of Trustees the authority to approve such University fees. For questions regarding the notice of proposed changes, please email Stephanie Howell, paralegal, Office of the General Counsel at [email protected].
