The Board of Regents for Higher Education has voted unanimously to raise tuition at Western, Eastern, Central and Southern Connecticut State Universities.  Tuition and fees will increase by an average of 3.8 percent for commuter students and 3.3 percent for resident students. That translates to an average annual increase of just over $400 for commuter students and just over $800 for residents.  Tuition and fees for the 12 community colleges will remain flat.  The Students First Initiative, regionalization of the schools, has realized over $10 million in savings this year and has a projected $16 million in savings for the next year.  Tuition at Charter Oak State Collage will remain flat, while fees will be reduced.
