Summary
Multi-year tuition and fee schedules would be required to be provided to every admitted undergraduate and graduate student, or institutions could give a single-year schedule plus a nonbinding multi-year estimate of net costs after financial aid. Estimates must show year-by-year costs for the normal program length and assume constant family and student income and assets.
Show full summary
- Students and families: Get year-by-year cost information and a net cost estimate after aid that assumes steady income and assets, helping compare likely costs across the full program length.
- Colleges and universities: May offer a multi-year schedule that can show any percentage or dollar change each year, or a single-year schedule plus multi-year estimates. Schools that choose the single-year option must report the average percentage deviation between prior estimates and actual net costs.
- U.S. Department of Education: The Secretary can waive the requirement if an institution demonstrates severe economic distress, dramatic reductions in State or Federal aid, or other qualifying circumstances and will administer the waiver process.

Colleges would give multi-year tuition estimates
Colleges and universities would have to give every admitted undergraduate or graduate student a clear cost picture. Schools would either provide a multi-year tuition and fee schedule, or a one-year schedule plus a nonbinding multi-year estimate of net costs after aid, assuming family and student income and assets stay the same. The schedule or estimate would show costs year by year for the normal program length and could include any yearly increase or decrease the school chooses. If a school gives only a one-year schedule, it would also show the average percentage difference between past estimates and actual net costs at that school. The Secretary of Education could waive these rules during severe economic distress, big State or Federal aid cuts, or similar events; the rules would start 120 days after enactment.
