The Board of Regents for Higher Education today approved a modest increase in tuition and fees at 16 out of 17 colleges and universities within the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities system, including Tunxis Community College and Central Connecticut State University. Charter Oak State College considers tuition and fees in June.
"This modest increase will enable additional funds to funnel back to the campuses to hire much-needed faculty and essential student support staff,” said Lewis Robinson, Chairman of the Board of Regents. "We're mindful that in this economy, any amount of increase in tuition and fees can be difficult for students and their families, which is why we took every step to keep them as low as possible."
The tuition and fee increases approved today include: Connecticut Community Colleges, 3.1 percent or $108. Connecticut State Universities (Undergraduate), in-State Commuter - 3.8 percent or $315, in-state residential - 3.7 percent or $676.
