NEW MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS COULD BE PAYING MORE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE SCHOOL’S BOARD OF REGENTS ON MONDAY CONSIDER INCREASING TUITION RATES AND FEES. THE SCHOOL NEEDS THE TUITION HIKE TO DEAL WITH BUDGET CUTS. NMSU OFFICIALS WANT RATES TO GO UP BY SIX PERCENT
IF THE SIX PERCENT INCREASE IS APPROVED, IT WOULD TAKE TUITION FROM 254 DOLLARS A CREDIT HOUR TO 269 DOLLARS A CREDIT HOUR. IF A STUDENT SIGNS UP FOR 15 CREDIT HOURS … A FULL LOAD … HE OR SHE WOULD PAY 196 DOLLARS MORE PER SEMESTER.
