The University of New Orleans is raising tuition by 6% next year, its second consecutive annual increase, as it joins the LSU system. Students will pay an additional $22.95 per credit hour, or about $550 more per year for full-time students taking 12 credit hours. The university's annual tuition for Louisiana residents will be $9,720, still lower than LSU's main campus but higher than its satellite campuses. UNO's tuition increase follows a 3.9% hike this year, and is part of a broader effort to improve academic programs and student support. The university reported a $15 million budget deficit last year and has announced plans to consolidate or close several degree programs to cut costs. The LSU Board of Supervisors supported the tuition increase, which was also approved by the state Board of Regents.
