Summary
- University of North Florida housing rates will increase by 5%.
- Out-of-state undergraduate and graduate tuition to rise 15%.
- Increases take effect for the Fall 2026 semester.

The University of North Florida will implement higher housing and tuition costs for students starting in the Fall 2026 semester. The UNF Board of Trustees recently approved a 5% increase for on-campus housing, impacting all residents. This decision stems from increased operational and maintenance expenses, with university officials noting a long period of restricted rate adjustments.
Furthermore, out-of-state undergraduate and graduate tuition and fees are set to rise by 15%. University leaders stated that the additional revenue will support employee salaries, benefits, and other operational needs. The university has not seen a tuition increase since 2013, highlighting the need for these adjustments.
