Tuition, housing and credit hour rates will increase for Seward County Community College in the upcoming school year, 2015-2016.

At its regular meeting Monday night, the Seward County Community College/Area Technical School Board of Trustees approved a slight increase to the college’s tuition and fees for the 2015-16 school year. The $5 increase brings the price of one credit hour at the college to $84, still below neighboring colleges, whose prices per credit hour can be as high as $98.
