SVSU Board Sets Tuition Rates
|
The Saginaw Valley State University Board of Control approved a general fund operating budget, including tuition rates, for the 2027 fiscal year, during the Board’s regular meeting Monday, June 15.
For the 2026-27 academic year, a Michigan undergraduate attending full-time (12 to 18 credits) will pay $14,280, an increase of 4.4%, compared to the prior year. SVSU moved to a block tuition structure beginning with the 2025-26 academic year. Students taking fewer than 12 credits will pay $595 per credit hour for the upcoming year; the same rate will apply to spring and summer courses in the upcoming fiscal year.

Rock On: SVSU Team At NASA Workshop
|
A small contingent from Saginaw Valley State University have sent an experiment into space. Physics laboratory technician John Potts, Lucas Colpaert, a mechanical engineering major from Freeland, and Kayla Newson, a physics major from Hamilton, attended the RockOn! workshop at NASA’s Wallops Island Flight Facility in Virginia. Only 28 teams were selected from all over the United States to attend the weeklong workshop at which teams build a science payload that will be launched on a sounding rocket and gather data during the rocket flight.
Sounding rockets do not orbit Earth. Rather, they fly from 50 to 120 miles high, gathering data, then parachute back to earth.
The workshop guided the team through the experiment process: concept, design, build, integration, flight and analysis.
