At its regular meeting on Thursday, September 7, the University of Southern Indiana Board of Trustees approved housing and meal plan rates for the 2024-25 academic year.
Due to continued universal increases in food costs, meal plans will increase by $125 per semester. On-campus housing rates will increase by $75 per semester in standard two student per bedroom residence halls and apartments. To keep increased costs to a minimum for students utilizing University housing and standard meal plans, $50 in Munch Money will be added to the proposed housing rates for use in any dining venue on campus. Students who opted into the two-year housing rate lock in 2023-24 will not see an increase in costs in 2024-25.
“We intentionally work to meet the unique wants and needs of our students in dining operations and housing facilities on campus,†says Steve Bridges, Vice President for Finance and Administration. “We know affordability is important to our students and intend to keep fee increases to a minimum while continuously working to ensure students have the best on-campus experiences.â€
The Board also heard an update on current campus construction projects.
