UFV has raised tuition by two  per cent on all for-credit courses and has added tuition to Adult Basic Education (ABE) and English as a Second Language (ESL) courses. From 2014, tuition for 100-level or higher courses has been raised by $2.95 per credit. Classes like three-credit ENGL 105 now cost $451.05, an increase from $442.20 last year. Four-credit courses are now $601.40, following the two per cent increase limit set by the provincial government. This winter, the BC government also allowed post-secondary institutions to add tuition to ABE courses. At UFV, these now cost $127.77 per credit, whereas last year the average ABE course cost $22 as a whole. Another significant increase in tuition has occurred with the UFV Theatre mainstage shows. Last year, the four-credit THEA 399 Birdsong production cost $589.60. For Fall 2015, The Voyage of Jason and the Argonauts will now cost participants $1202.80 — the cost of eight credits for a four-credit course.
