LCCC Leader Looking For Graduation Increase

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming's community colleges are looking at whether tuition policy can be used as a tool to help students finish their degree or certificate.

Laramie County Community College President Joe Schaffer says the idea being looked at is to guarantee no tuition increases for full-time students as long as they stayed full-time students.

Wyoming Community College Commission Executive Director Jim Rose tells the Wyoming Tribune Eagle that the concept is one of several things being looked at to improve student completion rates.

Rose says the college commission didn't raise tuition for students next year to give staff members and the colleges time to take a broader look at the tuition policy.
