MACOMB/MOLINE, IL - - The Western Illinois University Board of Trustees welcomed the newest member, retired Illinois State Police Southern Patrol Region Commander Derek Wise, of Venice, IL, to the Board at the March 24 meeting. The Board also recognized outgoing member Erik Dolieslager, of Quincy, IL, who will be formally recognized at the June Board meeting.
At the meeting, the Board voted to increase tuition by 3% for new undergraduate and graduate students, as well as the University Housing and Dining rate by 4%, and fees by $4.03/credit hour for Macomb campus students and $23.23/credit hour for Quad Cities campus students. This is the last year of a four-year initiative to adjust fees so all students are assessed similarly.
The 2023-2024 tuition rate for new domestic undergraduate students on the Macomb and Quad Cities campuses will be $326.70/credit hour for undergraduate students and $374.93/credit hour for new graduate students.
The WIU Tuition Guarantee ensures that undergraduate students pay the same rate for tuition for their four years of continuous enrollment. WIU also offers numerous automatic scholarship incentives.
Complete tuition, fees, room and meal plan information, along with incoming graduate and international student tuition and fees for the 2023-24 academic year, can be found in the Board materials at wiu.edu/bot.
The Board also approved the bargaining agreements with the International Union of Operating Engineers, AFL-CIO Local Union No. 399 - Landscape Maintenance and an increase in student health insurance rates to $1,052 for a half year or $2,104 for a full year.
In addition, the Board elected Greg Aguilar vice chair. The complete list of Board members can be found at wiu.edu/bot.
