LAS VEGAS, N.M. — Highlands University is raising its student tuition — again.
The Las Vegas Optic reports the northern New Mexico’s board of regents recently voted to increase tuition by around $4.84 per credit hour, or 2 percent, to about $247 next year.
Meanwhile, in-state graduate tuition and fees will increase by about $13.14 per credit hour, or 5 percent, to $276.
The regents also adopted a hike in meal plan and housing rates to around $52 per semester.
The increases come a year after the board voted to increase tuition and fees by 7.5 percent.
They also come as universities in New Mexico face declining state funding and increased costs to operate.
