EDWARDSVILLE — The Southern Illinois University Board of Trustees on Thursday approved a 2 percent tuition increase for the Carbondale campus after a lengthy public-comment period in which faculty members and constituency group heads debated the merits of the proposed SIUC restructuring plan.
The board voted unanimously to raise tuition to an annual rate of $9,637.50 for undergraduates and $11,268 for graduates, based on 15 credit hours per semester, for the 2018-19 school year.
Tuition increases only affect incoming students, as previous classes are locked in at their first-year rates by law.
