A new freeze on tuition and fees at Clemson University

Clemson University’s Board of Trustees met Thursday to approve recommendations from the administration on tuition and fees for the 2023-24 academic year. The University will freeze tuition and fees for both in-state and out-of-state undergraduates, marking the fourth-consecutive year of no tuition increase for South Carolina residents.

“Our Board thanks Governor Henry McMaster and the General Assembly for their extraordinary investment in Clemson University,” said Board Chair Kim Wilkerson. “Their commitment allows us to make a tuition decision supportive of our students and their families, invest significantly in our Clemson Elevate Strategic Plan and recognize the important role PSA plays in our State. We value tremendously our partnership with the State and commit to continue work with them to ensure the economic success of South Carolina.”

In addition to the tuition freeze for undergraduate students, the Board also approved housing and dining rates posted in January. Housing and dining fees were adjusted by 3.6 percent and 4 percent respectively. These fees are adjusted annually to cover the increased costs associated with inflation and to fund planned repairs and renovations.
The support of the General Assembly through increased tuition mitigation funding has allowed Clemson to freeze for all undergraduate tuition and fees for 2023-24.
