(Deming) – Western New Mexico University is raising its tuition but guaranteeing the tuition rate will then remain unchanged for a student's entire college career.
The university's Board of Regents unanimously approved an initiative Friday that gives eligible students a locked-in tuition rate.
Starting next fall, students enrolled in at least 15 credit hours each semester and who maintain a minimum 2.0 grade point average will qualify for the program.
The tuition increase and lock-in guarantee will affect students at WNMU-Deming as well as those on the main campus in Silver City.
WNMU President Joseph Shepard said the lock-in guarantee means students won't have to worry about predicting tuition costs.
Regents, however, also approved a tuition increase of $7.32 per credit hour for in-state, undergraduate students.
School officials say the expected $350,000 in additional revenue will go toward scholarships and student-employment costs.
