Parnther said paying for enhanced technology infrastructure, faculty training, and internet connectivity has stretched institutions thin.
The spring semester was an emergency response to a pandemic, not intentionally designed remote education. There is a difference between standardized content delivery and an intentionally designed, immersive online experience. Some colleges have announced plans to freeze tuition for the school year or not increase it in Others have given partial tuition refunds for unused fees. Some colleges have announced plans to freeze tuition for the upcoming school year or not increase it in The private nonprofit — which has more than , online students compared to 3, on-campus students — is also offering full-tuition scholarships to incoming first-year students enrolling on campus.
Florida Gateway College let students enroll in two summer classes for the price of one. But most colleges and universities aren't budging. From the perspective of these schools, they're having the same faculty teach the same classes for the same credits. And of course, the diploma won't be any less valuable if a few of the credits graduates earn were taken online.
Because the coronavirus is a temporary issue, Kantrowitz still believes a degree is worth the price tag. As long as it comes from an accredited college, employers won't distinguish between traditional and online programs, and diplomas don't indicate whether classes were taken online or not anyways.
But the crisis has put the issue of college affordability under even more scrutiny than before. And families still want their children to be taught face to face by faculty. When they're not getting that, they're questioning everything.
Despite the price tag, most colleges and universities run on very tight margins. This is something you may be able to do whether enrolling in a public or private university. According to the report, tuition discounts are often used as a way to attract students and boost enrollment.
The amount of money you could negotiate from the tuition bill ultimately depends on the school. If you're interested in bargaining for a better deal on tuition and other costs of attendance, there are two ways you can approach it. The first is to simply ask for a discounted rate for tuition, fees, room and board or any other costs you're paying to attend the school.
This may be easier to do at a school that's shown a willingness to extend discounts to students to encourage them to enroll. If you want to ask for a discount outright, the first step is knowing who to contact.
Typically, this is going to be the school's financial aid office. You may, however, also need to contact the school's admissions office. You can call, but you may get a better response by sending a polite, well-worded letter or email. When contacting the school to ask for a discount on tuition, fees or other costs, be prepared to make a strong case for why they should cut you a break. For example, if you have an outstanding academic or athletic record, those things could help you leverage a tuition reduction, especially if other schools have expressed interest in you as a student.
Also, be sure to mention why you need a discount. If the reasons are financial, such as a job loss or an illness that left you in debt, make sure to include that when making your arguments to the school. If you've tried to negotiate a discount on tuition with little success, don't give up yet. The other option for saving money on tuition costs is to appeal the financial aid award letter. Before the new semester starts, schools send out award letters explaining how much aid a student qualifies for.
This number is determined by how much funding the school has to give, as well as your Expected Family Contribution EFC.
