Increase generally consistent with last few years; tuition and fees help pay off revenue bonds
The Yavapai Community College won approval from the Community College Governing Board at its Tuesday, October 18 meeting, to increase tuition in general by around five percent. The increase is similar to past tuition increases.
Tuition and fees are one of the sources for paying off revenue bonds that are issued without taxpayer approval. These bonds, for example, were used to help finance renovation of student housing on the Prescott Campus.
Fixed wing aviation fees of $525 per credit hour (not listed by College in its press release) are
collected primarily from veterans who the Blog has been led to believe make up more than a majority of students taking the training.
The increases, according to the College press release appear below. Because the College did not list the tuition for its aviation program in its press release, the Blog had added that amount to the list below:
- In-State tuition
- Tier 1 (base/general education): +$5 ($103 per credit)
- Tier 2 (lab-based): +$6 ($119 per credit)
- Tier 3 (CTE/allied health): +$6 ($132 per credit)
