Board approves tuition increase

Tuition is on the rise – again. In a 4 to 1 vote, the Maricopa Community Colleges Governing Board decided to increase tuition four dollars per credit hour. The hike will mean that students taking 30 credit hours per year will now be paying $1650 in tuition. The vote comes after the proposal was originally denied at the March 23 board meeting. In an April 27 news release Board President Linda Rosenthal says, “No one likes to see costs rise, but we simply cannot continue to offer programs and services to students without asking them to share the cost of the increased expenses.” The tuition increase will take effect on July 1, the beginning of the fiscal year.
