In order to understand tuition and fees, it is important to understand higher education pricing. A student planning to attend a public college or university in Virginia can expect to pay the charges defined below:
1. Tuition and Mandatory E&G Fees: Mandatory student charges used to support instruction and related education activities included in the Education and General (E&G) program. E&G subprograms include instruction, research and public service, academic support, student services, institutional support, and the operation and maintenance of physical plants.
2. Mandatory Non-E&G Fees: Mandatory student charges used to support non-instructional activities such as student health services, athletics, recreational activities, campus transportation, and capital debt service.
3. Tuition and All Fees: Sum of tuition, mandatory E&G fees, and mandatory non-E&G fees.
4. Room and Board: Optional charges used to support the dormitory and dining functions for students choosing to live on-campus. Students living offcampus are exempt from these charges.
5. Student Budget: The total cost of attendance for an individual student estimated by an institution used for determining financial need under the federal student aid model. Tuition/fees, room/board, childcare, books/supplies, transportation and personal expenses are typically included.

Tuition and Mandatory Fees by Category (0708) for In-State Undergraduates
The Commonwealth’s cost-sharing policy regarding funding of public institutions is based on instruction-related charges and thus students are required to pay other mandatory fees. These charges (referred to below as Mandatory Non-E&G fees) support auxiliary activities, such as athletics, student health services, campus transportation, and debt service. Unlike instruction, these noneducational activities receive no state tax support, and are funded almost entirely by student revenue.Financial assistance packages vary widely between students, especially across income ranges.
