Joliet Junior College Students May See Tuition Increase
Possible increases range from just over $4 per credit hour to $9.98 per credit hour.
Students at Joliet Junior College may see their tuition costs increase due to a budget deficit.
According to a report from The Herald-News, the projected $1.15 million deficit could be covered by a $4.44 per credit hour increase and doing away with Title III federal grant funding priorities, marketing expenses, and operating and staffing costs for the City Center.
If just marketing expenses are cut, the increase would be $8.82 per credit hour.
