preview

NEW!135sharesAlabama’s community college students won’t see tuition increases this fall as the system attempts to resume normal, in-person instruction on its campuses.The Alabama Community College System announced the plans on Wednesday after its monthly board of trustees meeting.The tuition rate freeze applies to both residents and out-of-state students, System spokesperson Rachel Bunning said. Tuition for in-state students will remain $133 per credit hour for the fall. Rates for non-residents will stay at $266 per credit hour.Chancellor Jimmy H. Baker cited the state’s struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic during the past year as he made the announcement.“This year has been difficult for many Alabamians and access to education and skills training shouldn’t be something that makes it harder,” Baker said in a statement released by the system office. “By freezing tuition and ensuring online, in-person, and hybrid classes are available at Alabama’s 24 community colleges, we’re doing our part to expand opportunities for coursework and training to help Alabamians build a better future.”The chancellor noted the declining number of new reported COVID-19 cases and expanding access to vaccines while making the simultaneous announcement that the system anticipated its 24 campuses would resume normal, on-campus operations this fall.“From the beginning of the pandemic, our number one priority has been the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff, and it will continue to be our primary focus as we work to safely reopen our campuses across the state,” Baker said.The announcement by the two-year system comes a week after the University of Alabama System said it would return to traditional in-person instruction in the fall.Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.
