Bridgewater State University has frozen tuition and fees.
The school says their Board of Trustees has endorsed a recommendation from President Frederick W. Clark to freeze student fees for the 2020-2021 academic year.
The decision will keep tuition and fees at the current 2019-2020 level which is $10,732 for Massachusetts undergraduates attending fulltime.
In addition the university has awarded roughly $740,000 from its Student Emergency Fund to “assist more than a thousand students and counting who have suffered job and income losses as well as other impacts of the pandemic”
School officials say the freeze also applies to out-of-state undergraduate student tuition and fees, graduate and continuing studies per-credit-hour rates.
Online fees for summer courses that were originally scheduled for face-to-face instruction were also waived and school officials say they plan to do the same in the fall, if necessary.
