CCU plans to put tuition money back in students’ pockets

The proposed South Carolina state budget calls for an increase in recurring funds for Coastal Carolina University, and CCU officials plan to use the funding to give full-time, in-state students a $100 credit per semester on their tuition for the 2018-2019 academic year.

“When the CCU board of trustees increased tuition by 3 percent back in May, we were not sure that the state was going to increase the University’s recurring funds,” said David Frost, interim chief financial officer and vice president of finance at CCU. “Previously, the increase would have meant an additional $168 per semester for in-state students. This tuition credit puts $100 per semester back in their pockets, reducing the increase from 3 percent to 1.21 percent.”
