Tuition for North Carolina residents will remain frozen at all universities within the UNC System.

The UNC Board of Governors on Thursday approved tuition and fees for the 2023-24 academic year, and say it’s the seventh year in a row that in-state tuition has not been increased.

There will be some fee changes at several universities.

East Carolina University’s mandatory fees will increase by $16, but North Carolina State will see a $23 drop in fees. Fees at UNC-Chapel Hill will remain unchanged.

Some tuition increases were approved for graduate students and out-of-state students.
