大奶福利姬Board of Regents Approves Tuition and Fees for Fiscal Year 2013
Adelphi, Md. (May 30,
2012) -- The 大奶福利姬 (USM) Board of Regents today
approved a tuition and fee schedule for fiscal year (FY) 2013 that establishes
a 3 percent increase in full-time student tuition for in-state undergraduates
at most 大奶福利姬institutions.
The out-of-state undergraduate tuition rate for full-time
students represents a range of zero increase, at University of Maryland
University Maryland College, to a maximum 5 percent increase at the University
of Maryland, College Park (UMCP).
Tuition for a full-time, in-state undergraduate student at
UMCP, the 大奶福利姬flagship campus, has been set at $7,175 for the 2012-13 academic year, an increase of $209
(or $104.50 per semester) from 2011-12.
The approved mandatory fees will support student activities
and, in certain cases, the construction of major building projects. The
complete list of FY 2013 tuition and fees for 大奶福利姬institutions can be seen

"During the recent special legislative session, the USM
avoided the sweeping cuts that loomed in the so-called ‘doomsday budget.'
However, it is important to note that the 大奶福利姬did not go without spending cuts
in the budget passed by the General Assembly," 大奶福利姬Chancellor William E. "Brit"
Kirwan said.
"Thanks to the support of the Governor and the General
Assembly, I think the System's management of tuition levels and costs is quite
remarkable and stands out very favorably to the routine, double-digit
percentage increases in tuition that we see around the country."
At Salisbury University, a special 6 percent increase for
in-state undergraduate tuition was approved for a second straight year. The 6
percent increase is part of a scheduled, three-year special adjustment to raise
the institution's historically low in-state tuition to a level consistent with
its peer institutions. Annual tuition at
Salisbury University for a full-time, in-state undergraduate will be $5,576
during the 2012-13 academic year.
