In order to help offset significant state budget cuts, the ACC Board of Trustees voted Monday night to increase tuition for all students by $5 per credit hour. The increase takes effect Summer 2011 (registration begins April 7). Summer tuition rates will be In-District $47; Out-of-District $155; Out-of-State $293. This summer, ACC trustees plan to consider additional tuition increases effective Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 (even with the increase(s), ACC tuition remains among the lowest in the state. Meantime, the college is looking at additional ways to raise revenues and cut costs. Possible actions include:
Implementing personnel freezes
Increasing course limits
Eliminating low enrollment courses and programs
Reducing Weekend College offerings
Reviewing elective waivers of tuition/fees
Reducing technology and capital outlay
Reducing facilities maintenance funding
Reducing administrative budgets by 10%
More details about the increase are available on the ACC homepage. You can also receive legislative updates online.
