Purchasing additional Tuition Track Portfolio Units is simple. Log in to your Virginia529 account and select “Manage My Accounts,” then “One-Time Contribution.” After you select the bank account you’d like to use for the contribution, you’ll be able to select your Tuition Track Portfolio account and the amount you’d like to contribute. Use the Tuition Track Calculator to determine how many additional units you’d like to purchase.
Every year Virginia529 will calculate the Average Tuition at Virginia public colleges and universities, weighted by enrollment. That number is divided by 100 to determine the cost of an individual Tuition Track Portfolio unit. For example, if the Average Tuition for the 2021-22 year was $15,000, the cost per unit would be $150. If the Average Tuition for the 2022-23 year was $20,000, the cost per unit would increase to $200 for new units. The value of previously purchased units will keep pace with Tuition growth.
