Richland approves tuition increase plan - RYAN VOYLES, Herald and Review

A loss of state funding and increasing operation costs have forced community colleges around Illinois to increase their tuition. Richland Community College is no exception. The college’s board of trustees voted Tuesday to increase the average tuition rate about 3 percent per credit hour for the coming school year. Next semester, the tuition for standard in-district students will be $133 per hour, an increase of $4 from the current year. Tuition for students taking health profession and online classes will go up $5 starting next semester, to $160 and $168, respectively. http://herald-review.com/news/richland-approves-tuition-increase-plan/article_27404de2-8c6d-5fe0-933d-5e38661fd449.html
