University of Phoenix implements Copilot integration alongside tuition price adjustments
What happened
The University of Phoenix announced a Locked-In Pricing Guarantee, which sets a single, all-in price per course for new students from enrollment through completion. Effective November 2, 2026, tuition for new students will increase by 7%, and the resource fee will increase by $10 per course. Current students' tuition remains unchanged under the guarantee, but their resource fee will increase by $10 per course.

Why it matters
The price update was implemented in response to rising operating costs and to expand student access to learning technologies, including Microsoft Copilot. The institution is building upon a Tuition Guarantee introduced in 2018.
