An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in higher education accountability and transparency, providing for notice of tuition increase.
HB 770 requires Pennsylvania colleges and universities to notify enrolled students at least 45 days before a tuition increase. The notice must include the prior year's tuition amount, current tuition, and the dollar and percentage increase, and must be sent both electronically and by mail.
