CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WTVD) -- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will not raise in-state tuition for the first time ever since 2017.

At its meeting on Wednesday, the UNC Board of Trustees voted against a proposal for a 3% tuition raise for in-state undergraduate students.

Ultimately, the board decided to defer the final vote to tomorrow. They are requesting the Vice Chancellor for Finance and Operations to come back tomorrow with a proposal that would keep the resident undergraduate tuition flat, increase non-resident undergraduate tuition by 10%, and increase graduate non-resident tuition.

The proposed increase for out-of-state students would amount to adding $4,320. This would bring total tuition to $49,601 per year.
