The recommended tuition change, which met opposition from student spokesmen and university persidents alike, was passed unanimously at the Board of Regents meeting held in Orlando recently. The new system requires $13 per undergraduate credit hour, and $16.50 for graduate student credit hours. Non-Florida students, in addition to the registration fee, would be charged $24 per credit hour. Students taking the average 15-l· :,,rr ~oad w0uld be charged $5 more, and grapuates taking 15 l: . would pay $42 less. The change provided for no ceiling on tuition, so that under the change a 20-credit hour undergraduate load would cost $260. Opponents cited possible results of the tuition change, including: reduction in faculty and "enrichment" courses offered, reduction in the total number of credit hours attempted by state university students, and a subsequent reduction of state legislative funding. Currently tuition for those students moving from part-time to full-time status or from eight to nine credit hours per quarter Above, from left to right are BOR BO R Chairman Marshall Criser, Chancellor increases over $60, chairperson of the State Council of Student memhers E.

Although Hendrix Chandler, corporate secretary to the BOR, said he feJt the tuition change would not affect financial aid for the average student receiving it, student leaders feared that the change would severely hurt those students dependent on a fixed income or fixed aid, such as veterans' benefits and some types of financial aid.
