John A. Logan College students will pay higher tuition in the spring. The Board of Trustees approved a 6 percent tuition hike and added a $60 activity fee for all full and part-time students at the college.

College officials said the rate hike was necessary to meet the budget for this fiscal year.

The college said final numbers should be out later this week, but fall enrollment is up at John A. Logan College – right now it is looking like an increase of about 17 percent.
