1 For public institutions, “in district” refers to the charges paid by a student who lives in the locality surrounding the institution, such as county.
NOTE: Amounts are institutional averages as reported by the institution, not average amounts paid by students (i.e., charges are not weighted by enrollment). The time period of the percentage change in this table was chosen to reflect the same period as the College Affordability Index. The College Affordability Index, which is calculated over a 3-year period, is the ratio of the percentage change in tuition and required fees for full-time, first-time undergraduate students to the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Out-of-state average tuition and required fees were used for private institutions that reported varying tuitions by residency. These figures may differ from the tuition and required fee charges in table 7 that apply to all full-time undergraduates. The average components of academic year price of attendance in this table may not sum to the corresponding average price of attendance in table 14 because not all institutions report all components of academic year price of attendance separately (e.g., an institution may report a comprehensive fee in lieu of the individual components). The 2,226 institutions with academic calendars that differ by program or allow continuous enrollment are not included. U.S. service academies are not included. All amounts from 2007-08 were converted to 2009-10 dollars using the average CPI values for the 12-month periods ending in October 2007 and October 2009.parately (e.g., an institution may report a comprehensive fee in lieu of the individual components).
