Another consideration is how Central compares to the other five public, four-year institutions in Washington. Below is a summary of the estimated FY22 tuition rates for each of the institutions and CWU’s relative rank (1 is highest tuition, 6 is lowest). Despite attempts to “catch up” to other institutions, our increases have been matched by most of theirs, and so our relative position remains the same. 0.0% -4.8% -14.8% 2.2% 2.2% 2.4% 2.5% 2.8% Non-Resident Undergrad 5.0% 0.0% 0.0% 2.2% 5.0% 4.0% 2.5% 2.8% Resident Graduate 5.0% 0.0% 0.0% 2.2% 5.0% 4.0% 2.5% 2.8% Non-Resident Graduate 5.0% 0.0% 0.0% 2.2% 5.0% 4.0% 2.5% 2.8% * Proposed Increase Resident Undergrad

Note: Tuition includes operating and building fee only - no other fees

Action Item – Tuition Given the current law regarding resident undergraduate tuition increases allowed as well as our positioning relative to other institutions in the other three categories, the full 2.8 percent increase for resident undergraduate tuition is recommended along with a 2.8 percent increase in all other tuition categories.
