Lincoln community college tuition to remain steady next year

The governing board of Southeast Community College in Lincoln has announced that tuition will remain unchanged for the 2020-21 school year.

The board voted Tuesday to keep tuition rates flat. That means Nebraska students will continue paying $102 per credit hour next year, while out-of-state students will continue paying $123 per credit hour.

Students will see a nearly 3% increase in student fees next year, expected to generate an additional $600,000.

SCC President Paul Illich says the additional fees will be used to address facility needs across the college’s 15-county area.
