Description
House File 2383 requires the Board of Regents to adopt a policy requiring that not less than 75.0% of students accepted at the University of Iowa’s College of Medicine and College of Dentistry be either residents of Iowa or enrolled in an eligible postsecondary institution prior to enrolling in the College of Medicine or the College of Dentistry. Iowa Code section 261E.2 defines an eligible postsecondary institution as a public university under the control of the Board of Regents, an Iowa community college, or an accredited private college or university in Iowa.
Background
The base graduate tuition rates at the University of Iowa (UI) for FY 2020 are $10,079 for resident students and $29,026 for nonresidents, a differential of $18,947 for nonresident graduate students. Tuition rates for graduate students at the UI may vary beyond the base rate depending on the program of study, with higher rates for certain programs. According to the Board of Regents’ Fall 2018 Enrollment Report, resident students represented 66.3% of graduate and postgraduate enrollment in the College of Dentistry and 63.6% in the College of Medicine.
Assumptions
If HF 2383 is enacted, the Board of Regents anticipates a resulting reduction in nonresident tuition revenue of $400,000 to $500,000 per year for each of the two colleges. Based on the latest data available to the LSA regarding enrollments and tuition rates, this estimate seems to be reasonable and may be conservative.
Fiscal Impact
HF 2383 is estimated to reduce tuition revenue to the University of Iowa Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry by $800,000 to $1.0 million annually.
