91制片厂 tuition to remain unchanged for third consecutive year amid pandemic

Recognizing the pandemic鈥檚 significant financial impact, 91制片厂 approved leaving tuition unchanged for the third consecutive year coupled with other measures aimed at keeping costs down for students.

鈥淲e recognize that students are still struggling with the impact of the ongoing pandemic,鈥� said Dr. Avis Proctor, 91制片厂 president. 鈥淲e are committed to doing all we can to removing barriers and supporting students so they鈥檙e better positioned to prioritize their education.鈥�

Effective this summer, 91制片厂鈥檚 in-district tuition for the 2022-23 academic year will remain $133.50 per credit hour, or $152.50 per credit hour including the universal fee. Out-of-district, out-of-state and international student tuition rates also will not increase. The Board of Trustees unanimously approved a resolution at the February 23 board meeting leaving tuition unchanged for Fiscal Year 2023.

In addition, the board approved the following tuition-related measures:

• Suspension of differential tuition for certain health care programs: The board approved continuing the temporary suspension of all differential tuition charges through the spring 2023 semester. Students in certain health care programs are charged differential tuition (i.e. double tuition) because the courses are more expensive to offer. It is estimated this suspension will reduce tuition revenue by $1.4 million, which will be offset by the Student Success Initiatives Reserve Fund.
• Tuition for Online Health Information Technology Classes: Students enrolled in the college鈥檚 online Health Information Technology program, which launched in fall 2021, will continue to pay in-district tuition regardless of residency through spring 2023. The college is making this program affordable and accessible to all, as an all-online version of this program is not available in many Illinois community college districts.

鈥淎s we enter the third year of the pandemic, we must continue to ensure our community can access 91制片厂鈥檚 quality and affordable education,鈥� Board Chair Pat Stack said. 鈥淭he college has worked to carefully manage its resources, and I am pleased this fiscal responsibility has positioned us to provide some relief to students.鈥�
