MADISON, Wis. (CBS 58) -- The Universities of Wisconsin system is seeking approval to raise resident undergraduate tuition by up to 5 percent for the 2025-26 academic year. President Jay Rothman announced the plan would increase base tuition by 4 percent at all campuses, with an optional 1 percent additional increase.

Rothman said in a Tuesday, July 8 press release that the plan aims to balance affordability after years of frozen rates and reduced state support. Resident undergraduate tuition increased 7.7 percent over the last decade, which officials said remains lower than neighboring states.

The total cost of attendance, including fees and housing, is expected to rise by an average of 3.8 percent.

Proposed resident undergraduate tuition and segregated fees for 2025-26 includes the following:

• UW-Eau Claire: $10,067
• UW-Green Bay: $8,985
• UW-La Crosse: $10,360
• UW-Madison: $12,166
• UW-Milwaukee: $10,916
• UW-Oshkosh: $8,993

• UW-Stevens Point: $9,477
• UW-Stout: $9,859
