The University of Tennessee Board of Trustees will consider proposals to increase undergraduate in-state tuition and mandatory fees for certain UT campuses during the Board’s annual meeting on June 30, 2026.

Tennessee law (Tennessee Code Annotated § 49-7-1603) requires boards of public universities to give public notice of proposed increases to tuition and mandatory fees charged to in-state undergraduate students at least fifteen (15) days prior to holding a public meeting to adopt the increases.

No tuition increase proposed for Knoxville campus, but there is a $148 (6.4%) mandatory fee increase. There are proposed tuition and fee increases for UT Chattanooga ($192/$130), UT Martin ($272/$52), and UT Southern ($298/$40) .

The comment period will close Monday, June 22, at 6pm Eastern/5pm Central.

UT in-state tuition/fees are more expensive than Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.
