Pomona tuition increase - $3k a quarter?

lyndsayh · 06-08-05, 07:04 PM

I saw this article in the printed version of The Poly Post dated June 1st, and it also appeared online. The article stated that undergrads will have to pay $3,000 per quarter next year. It is linked below.

Quote:

Next year, undergraduate students can expect to pay $2,997 a quarter, with another 8 percent increase the year after.

I can't find anything online about this being true. No news reports, nothing in any search engines. Is this just a case of vague writing? They don't specifically say CPP students will be paying that per quarter. Is it just a quarter/semester average of all the csu system school fees?

I feel like I'm missing something. Any ideas/thoughts?

If it's nearly 3k, that's definately not 8% increase. Right now it's like 1k per quarter only.

Yeah, the wording is odd. There was also an article in Nov of last year that talked about the typical 8-12% yearly increase that we've been seeing the past few years. I emailed the Post last night to see if it was a typo or something.

Thread has been moved to the Network forum.

It is only a speculation. Let's be optimistic now.

Perhaps they meant to put "per 3 quarters" which would make sense for full time students, we pay what... $900 a quarter now? anymore then that would be a huge increase.

8% increase a year is a lot! Oiy... if the school really wanted to save money it would have more aggressive programs to weed out people who fail often, and are terribly unlikely to graduate. (Or should be going to a JC)

That would be a huge increase. Probably a typo, albeit a big one. SLO's tuition has ballooned from $700/quarter four years ago to about $1300 now. Bad news...
