Tuition for the University of Austin may soon be going up again.
The Tuition Policy Advisory Committee just proposed a 2.6% in-state tuition increase on Monday.
If enacted, the hike would equate to more than $17.3 million in 2012-13 and $17.8 million in 2013-14
The funds would be used to prioritize and support current programs and improve graduation rates.
The panel, made up of students, faculty and administrators, on Monday forwarded details to UT President William Powers.
He's expected to submit his final tuition increase proposal to regents by Dec. 15.
The panel's recommendation would increase undergraduate tuition by $127, to $5,023, starting the fall of 2012. Tuition would go up an additional $131 the following year.
Nonresident undergraduate students and graduate students could see tuition hikes of 3.6 percent.
The last of three public forums on the proposal will be held Wednesday on campus.
