State Regents reviewed institutional tuition and mandatory fee requests for compliance and each institution’s requests were below the posted legislative peer limits for the tier as specified in Oklahoma Statutes (Title 70, O. S. 2004 Supp., Section 3218.8 -- see Attachment 10). Institutions implemented the Tuition Freeze Plan for FY10 and tuition at all institutions will remain at the same levels as in FY09. Mandatory fees at all institutions, with the exception of two community colleges, will also remain the same as in FY09 resulting in an overall average increase of less than one percent for undergraduate resident and nonresident tuition and mandatory fees. The average change in tuition and mandatory fees for FY10 by tier is reflected in the following table. Tier Undergraduate Graduate Resident Nonresident Resident Nonresident Research Universities 0.0% $0.00 0.0% $0.00 0.0% $0.00 0.0% $0.00 Regional Institutions 0.0% $0.0 0.0% $0.0 0.0% $0.0 0.0% $0.0 Community Colleges 0.8% $20.42 0.3% $20.42 n/a n/a n/a n/a Ardmore Higher Education Center 0.0% $0.0 0.0% $0.0 0.0% $0.0 0.0% $0.0 Professional Programs n/a n/a n/a n/a 0.1% $9.38 0.0% $9.38 Considerations in Setting Tuition and Fees. Oklahoma Statutes (Title 70, O. S. 2004 Supp., Section 3218.2) further provides that the impact on the ability of students to meet the costs of attendance, their enrollment patterns, availability of financial aid, the cost- effective measures which institutions implemented, and the communication of tuition and fee requests to students are to be considered when determining increases to tuition and mandatory fees. Institutions reported on each of these categories when submitting their tuition and mandatory fee requests for FY10. The findings from the institutions’ information are summarized below, with further details provided in the full report on the following pages. Impact on Students’ Ability to Pay. For FY10 institutions implemented the Putting Families First: Higher Education’s Tuition Freeze Plan allowing them to hold tuition rates at the same level as in FY09.

  • Veteran Survey Results
    Veteran Survey Results BACKGROUND The Oklahoma Works Veteran Survey was launched on September 11, 2017 and was fielded to student veterans at postsecondary institutions across the state of Oklahoma. The purpose of the survey was to better understand what obstacles or difficulties military and veteran students face when trying to access benefits or any other challenges in the college experiences in general. To achieve validity, a response number of 337 was needed. When the survey closed in October 27, 2017, it had garnered 397 responses. Response rate from top ten schools. Response rate from schools past the “top ten” mark are in the 2% and lower range.
