ACADEMIC FEE DEADLINES

Differential Tuition and Program Fee proposals will only be accepted for GRAD programs.

The Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) is transitioning back to a fall-only approval cycle for tuition and academic fees, accelerating proposal timelines and moving deadlines earlier in the year. Beginning with the 2027-2028 academic year cycle (effective Fall 2027), units should plan accordingly.
