WWU, CWU tuition to go up

Tuition at Western Washington University will go up 16 percent this fall, and Central Washington University’s tuition will rise by 14 percent, trustees at each school decided Friday.

Including mandatory fees, a year at WWU will cost $7,756 for in-state undergraduate students. CWU’s tuition will go to $6,358; mandatory fees were not immediately available, but were about $300 for the 2010-11 school year.

For the 2012-13 school year, trustees at both schools voted to raise tuition rates again by the same percentage — 16 percent for WWU, 14 percent for CWU.
