The UCF Board of Trustees will meet on Thursday and are proposing no tuition increase for the first time in years.

If approved, tuition for 2014-2015 will remain the same as 2013-2014, at $149.27 per credit hour or $4,500 for an academic year of 30 credit hours. Graduate tuition would also remain the same at $288.16 per credit hour.

Last year, UCF tuition rose 1.7 percent, with a 15 percent increase the year before that.

UCF was the most applied to university in Florida in 2013, with 31,820 applicants at a 49% acceptance rate.
