Students attending Wyoming's seven community colleges will be paying more in tuition next year. A divided Wyoming Community College Commission approved a resident tuition rate increase of $4 per credit hour Wednesday. The full-time tuition rate for resident students will increase from $1,800 a year now to $1,896 in 2013-14. Nonresident students, who pay more than resident students, also will see their tuition rates increase. It is the third tuition increase in as many years and comes at a time when Gov. Matt Mead is recommending a 6% cut in state funding for community colleges. The proposed cut will be taken up by the Legislature next month. The commission also decided Wednesday to continue not charging for credits a student takes over the full-time 12 credit hours a semester.
