JMU Board of Visitors' Executive Comm. Sets 2012-2013 Tuition and Fees

Each year, the James Madison University’s Board of Visitors sets tuition and fees for the upcoming academic year at their spring board meeting. This year, due to the ongoing work of the General Assembly regarding Virginia’s biennial budget, the Board of Visitors’ was unable to consider tuition and fees at their April 2012 meeting. With the Virginia budget nearing completion, the executive committee of the Board of Visitors met today to set tuition and fees for the 2012 – 2013 academic year.

Virginia undergraduate students will pay an additional $640 or 3.9 percent in total on campus costs for the 2012 – 2013 academic year. With the 2012-2013 tuition and fees increase, JMU’s total in-state and out-of-state costs remained positioned in the middle relative to other Virginia public universities and colleges.
