Tuition Won’t Increase At Community Colleges

RICHMOND — The State Board for Community Colleges voted Thursday to maintain the current in-state tuition and fees for the 2019-2020 academic year. 
Tuition will remain at  $154 per credit hour and keeps community college tuition and fees at approximately one-third of the comparable costs of attending Virginia’s public four-year universities.
“The Virginia General Assembly deserves a great deal of credit for helping us avoid a tuition increase,” said Robin Sullenberger, chair of the State Board for Community Colleges. “Their decision to increase General Fund appropriations gave us the resources necessary to meet the inevitable operating expense increases without asking our students to pay more. We applaud their efforts during the 2019 legislative session.”
Further, the board also maintained the existing tuition rate for out-of-state students, which is $351.60 per credit hour.
