(Undated) -- Students at Iowa's three state universities could pay more for tuition this fall. The Iowa Board of Regents is looking to raise tuition by more than 4-percent. Tuition at the University of Iowa, Iowa State, and the University of Northern Iowa would go up by more than 300-dollars, under the proposal. The Regents will take up the issue at their next meeting, Monday.

The Board of Regents states that funding from the proposed tuition increases will help offset inflation, recruiting and retaining faculty and staff in national markets, meeting collective bargaining terms, deferred maintenance needs, and student financial aid to provide higher education opportunities to more students.

The 4.2% proposed increase is for undergraduate and graduate students.

Students in the University of Iowa's Tippie College of Business would face a 5% increase. The increase would support additional undergraduate staff.

The University of Iowa's College of Nursing is proposing a 6.0% tuition rate increase to offset increases in the cost of clinical experiences for students.
