Regents approve
tuition hike
The Kansas Board of Regents recently approved a tuition rate increase that will raise tuition at PSU 6.5 percent to $1,617 for one semester for in-state undergraduate students during the 2007-2008 year. This rate hike, which was presented to the board in May, applies to all PSU students. Student fees will also increase, making for a combined tuition and fee total of $2,030 for an in-state undergraduate. The 6.5 percent increase comes after an identical increase in the 2006-2007 school year.
