Table 33 shows total student credit hours produced by fiscal year and level. Figure11 shows student credit hours produced by each of the four colleges for FY2001.
The tuition and fee guarantee began for all undergraduate students entering theUniversity in Fall 1999. In-state undergraduate annual tuition increased from $2,812 in2000-01 to $2,982 in 2001-02. This tuition will remain in effect for students entering Fall2001 for four years, as long as the student maintains continuous enrollment (Table 34 andFigure 12). WIU tuition increased 10 of the last 12 years. Tuition did not change from1989-90 to 1990-91 and from 1992-93 to 1993-94. Students experienced the largestincrease in fees from 1996-97 to 1997-98 (up 19.1%). This increase was partially due tothe cost of the new student recreation center.
Alumni survey results of the 2000 baccalaureate degree recipients are shown inTable 35. This survey was conducted of these graduates one year after graduation.
