Northeastern Illinois University Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees Executive Committee Meeting
The committee considered a proposal to transition the university's tuition pricing structure from an In-State/Out-of-State model to a Domestic/International model, effective for the Fall 2026 term. The strategic change is intended to align the university with peer institutions, improve competitive positioning, and simplify residency classifications for tuition purposes. The document outlines that no tuition increases for students are anticipated, but acknowledges an estimated $400,000 decrease in unrestricted budget revenue for FY2027 due to the structural shift. Operational plans include reassessing student accounts and reviewing financial aid packages, with further budget refinements to be finalized following the Fall 2026 census.
