Fees and tuition for the upcoming school year will not increase at Clemson University.
The school's board of trustees approved the freeze Thursday morning. Leaders also agreed to a "continuing resolution" budget for the upcoming fiscal year that makes no changes to the budget in place.
Clemson's financial team projects coronavirus will have a negative $14.7 million impact on the school, assuming most functions return to normal in the fall.
There has been a reduction in some expenses, including $2.8 million in reduced athletic expenses and $3.3 million in savings thanks to travel restrictions.
"The biggest impact that could influence the financial health of CUAD (the athletic department) is whether the pandemic impacts fall sports," read a presentation on fiscal year 2021 budget plans.
Police Chief Greg Mullen said the school is working off of three scenarios for future planning.
The first is a full return in the fall.
"That's our laser focus," Mullen said, "to come back as close to normal as possible."
