INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana University has announced plans to discount tuition for undergraduates enrolled in summer classes to make college more affordable and decrease the amount of time needed to earn a degree.
IU President Michael McRobbie unveiled a plan Monday that calls for 25 percent tuition discounts for in-state students enrolled at any of IU's seven campuses. Nonresident students will receive an equivalent reduction in their tuition.
The discounts would take effect in 2012.
IU says the savings for students taking a full summer course load could range from more than $700 at IU's regional campuses to $1,050 at the Bloomington campus.
McRobbie says increasing summer attendance will allow for more efficient use of university facilities across the state.
IU's Board of Trustees will consider the proposal at a special meeting Friday.
