Sets tuition at a flat rate of $1020 for Arizona’s residents taking 12 credits or more per semester
The Maricopa Community College Governing Board at its meeting on Tuesday, June 9 rejected a proposal that would have reduced tuition for the fall and spring semesters by 25%. Rather, it approved a flat tuition rate of $1020 for Arizona residents taking 12 credits or more per semester. In addition, it approved allowing out-of-state students to pay the in-state tuition rate if they sign up to take six or fewer credit hours per semester.
The Board also approved spending up to $13.5 million in scholarships to attract students. Finally, it agreed to commit up to $500,000 to run a marketing campaign to try to encourage more students to enroll for the fall and spring semesters.
