The Kentucky Community and Technical College System’s Board of Regents meets this week to consider tuition rates for the next academic year. The board will vote on a recommendation to raise tuition 2.8% for the 2013-14 school year.
The Council on Postsecondary Education has authority to determine tuition rates for Kentucky’s state-supported universities and the KCTCS. At its April meeting, the CPE set a tuition parameter of three-percent for all schools.
Under the $2.8% hike, in-state students would pay $144 per credit hour. Out-of-state students from contiguous counties would pay $288 while other out-of-state students would be charged $504 per credit hour.
The Board of Regents is expected to approve the tuition increase at its meeting Friday at Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College in Cumberland.
