SEBATOBIA, Miss. (AP) — Northwest Mississippi Community College is increasing tuition for the 2014-15 academic year.
Full-time in-state students will see an increase of $150 per semester in tuition, to $1,275. Part-time in-state students will pay an additional $15 per semester hour as the cost increases to $110 per semester hour.
Out-of-state full-time students will pay an additional $100 in nonresident tuition fees in addition to the new base tuition of $1,275. Part-time students from out of state will pay an additional $20 per semester hour.
Northwest President Gary Lee Spears told The Commercial Appeal (http://bit.ly/1h3XdPL ) costs have risen with maintaining new facilities and providing the programs those facilities will offer.
"The college is trying to meet the changing needs of our district," Spears said. "These much-needed efforts come with a cost, and we have done everything possible to keep that cost at a minimum for our students."
