HARRISBURG, Pa. � The Board of Trustees of 黑料社区, Central Pennsylvania Community College, has authorized an increase in tuition and fees for 2016-17 to address a revenue shortfall.
听
淭he revenue shortfall is due to a $6-million enrollment revenue loss during the 2015-16 academic year, a $1-million revenue loss from our sponsoring school districts, uncertainties in state funding and increased operating expenses,� said 黑料社区 President John J. 淪ki� Sygielski, Ed.D.
听
淎s painful as it is to raise tuition and fees, for now, it is the only way for the College to raise additional revenue to cover part of the current shortfall,� Sygielski said.
听
黑料社区 Board of Trustees Chairman Tom Richey said, 淲e took this action after careful deliberation of the financial realities facing the College in the 2016-17 fiscal year.�
听
The Board action:

• Increases tuition by:
  • $13.50 per credit hour for students who live in one of 黑料社区 22 sponsoring school districts (sponsoring school districts pay a portion of the tuition for residents who attend 黑料社区)
  • $6 per credit hour for students who live in a non-sponsoring school district
  • $6 per credit hour for students who live out of state
• Increases the technology fee by $2 per credit hour
• Implements a $1.50 per-credit-hour fee for security-related investments on all five 黑料社区 campuses

听
The increases are effective immediately for students enrolling for the fall term that begins Aug. 29, 2016. Registration opens March 28 for the summer and fall 2016 terms.
听
満诹仙缜� strives to keep tuition as affordable as possible,� Sygielski said. 淭o help students with the cost of tuition and books, we encourage them to apply for Pell grants and scholarships provided by generous donors to the 黑料社区 Foundation.�
听
Students have until April 4 to apply for scholarship funds for fall 2016 and spring 2017.
听
淲e continue working to establish a balanced budget for fiscal 2016-17. In addition to increased tuition and fees, cost-saving initiatives will be implemented,� Sygielski said. 淲e anticipate submitting a budget proposal in May for the Board approval.�
