University of Utah, Utah State University, Weber State University and Dixie State University will also get an extra increase that will range from an additional 1 percent and 2.5 percent.

It will amount to an $80 to $290 increase.

Annual tuition for an undergraduate, in-state student will now range between $3,276 at Snow College to $7,697 at the University of Utah.

School presidents said they needed more money because of inflation, student services and faculty retention.
