Trustees at CollegeDuPage raise tuition $4 per credit hour
College of DuPage's top financial officials predicted last spring the board of trustees would have to continue increasing tuition rates to address a"structural budgetary imbalance." Students will pay $4 more per credit hour starting with the upcoming fall semester. That puts the total rate, plus fees, at $144 per credit hour.
COD administrators recommended the increase to bring the college's rates more closely in line with tuition at other public two-year colleges. Officials say the increase is also needed to better keep pace with inflation. A year ago, trustees adopted a $2-per-credit-hour increase. The board previously froze tuition levels to help ease the financial burden on students recovering from the economic fallout of the pandemic.
Trustees have reviewed projections showing expenses in the college's general fund outpacing revenues annually over the next five years.
