Incoming students will pay no tuition or fees at Connecticut community colleges starting next fall under a plan approved by the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities Board of Regents Thursday morning.
The Pledge to Advance Connecticut, or PACT, is the system’s response to legislation passed last spring, and guarantees that eligible in-state, full-time, first-time students at the 12 campuses will not pay out-of-pocket for tuition or mandatory fees.
PACT is aimed at four goals, Board of Regents Finance Committee chair Richard Balducci said: to “mitigate excess debt for students and families, increase student enrollment within the community college sector, support student retention efforts across the system, and to support on-time credential completion.”
