Procedures for Tuition Notice and Public Comment

In accordance with Code of Virginia, §23.1-307(D) and (E), Radford University will provide public notice at least 30 days prior to considering an increase of undergraduate tuition or mandatory fees. The public notice will also identify a date, time and location for a Budget Presentation to be followed by a time period for public comment. The notice will also include guidelines for providing public comment.

• The Budget Presentation and Public Comment Session will be scheduled to allow for sufficient time for both the presentation and public comment. The timeframe may vary depending on the amount of information to be presented and anticipated number of speakers.
• The public can sign up to speak at the Public Comment Session by emailing bov@radford.edu. This is available from the time of public notice until noon the day prior to the Public Comment Session.
• Written comments may be sent to tuition@radford.edu. This is available from the time of public notice until three days prior to vote to allow time for compiling information and making copies to be available to the Board members.
• A written copy of the comments is requested, but not required.
• Anyone who has not signed up to speak by the deadline may sign-in at the Public Comment Session. If time permits, they will be given an opportunity to speak.
• At least three Board of Visitors members will be in attendance.
