HERKIMER, N.Y. — Herkimer County Community College announced that the tuition, housing, and fees it charges students will again remain unchanged this next academic year.
This is the fourth straight year the college has kept full-time tuition at $2,558 per semester and part-time tuition at $189 per credit hour, the college said in a news release.
Herkimer College’s board of trustees decided on the tuition freeze at its May meeting.
“We are grateful to the board of trustees and the Herkimer College Housing Corporation for their continued efforts to hold down costs for our students,” Officer-in-Charge Nicholas Laino said in the release. The freeze demonstrates the college’s commitment to maintaining an affordable and accessible higher-education opportunity for all learners, he contended.
Additionally, the cost of the college’s delivery program for course material, called BookMarket, will remain at $24 per credit hour. The program, made possible through a collaboration between the college and Barnes & Noble College, lowers the cost of materials and ensures students have access to all their required textbooks on or before the first day of classes.
Herkimer County Community College offers more than 40 certificates and associate degrees in areas including art, business, criminal justice, and health care, to a student body of about 2,400.
