Tuition rates at St. Clair County Community College will be going up this fall. The Sc4 Board of Trustees approved the increases Thursday during their regular board meeting. Full-time students residing in the school district will see a tuition increase of $3 dollars per credit hour or 3%. Board Chair Dr. Nicholas DeGrazia says it’s the college’s policy to avoid having a large increase. The average increase in tuition at Community College’s in Michigan last year was 4.2%.
