It's Official: Tuition To Increase At URI

Tuition is going up at the University of Rhode Island.

The Board of Trustees approved an increase of 3-point-6 percent for in-state students and 3-point-9 percent for out-of-state students effective for the next academic year.

University officials said while the tuition increase is necessary, they continue seeking additional state aid to ensure URI is within financial reach for students.
