Tuition increases across UNC System expected

The UNCW Board of Trustees late last week to discuss ways to deal with anticipated cuts stemming from the multi billion dollar budget shortfall facing state government. About two hundred dollars in tuition increases was recommended, which amounts to a six point five percent increase. The new rates will go into effect in July though the hike still has to be approved by the UNC Board of Governors. There will also be an undisclosed increase in student activity fees, in addition to some other miscellanous charges. Tuition across the UNC system will be going up next year as well. UNC Chapel Hill has already approved a six point five percent increase while NC State has decided to move forward wiht a six point two percent tuition increase.
