UNCW could see tuition hike

WILMINGTON — Students at UNCW may have to cough up more money in the fall of 2008.

UNCW trustees gathered today to recommend a tuition increase.

If it passes in-state undergrads will face a one-point-nine percent increase.

Out-of-state students and those in the graduate program will pay two per cent more.

The hike will go towards funding student activities, health services, and athletics.

Before the increase can take effect…the proposal must be reviewed and finalized by the UNC board of governors early next year.
