"Due to the budget cuts ,this was necessary," said Joann Walgamuth, dean of the Warsaw Ivy Tech campus, concerning tuition increases.
But she added, "There will be no program cuts."
About 70 to 75 percent of students attending the city campus receive financial aid.
"Every other school in the state raised their tuition double digits," Walgamuth said. "We've tried to keep ours low to meet the needs of the present and future students."
While summer registration is underway, no money has been taken.
Ivy Tech has more than 63,000 students, number two in the state in enrollment behind Indiana University.
"We're a big player with a small budget. Enrollment here is up 36 percent over last spring," the dean said.
The Warsaw campus is expected to move to the United Office Complex, the former Sprint building, in time for the summer term.
Walgamuth said she expects another 20 percent increase in the fall.
Ivy Tech State college officials will announce a long-term commitment to the Warsaw community, including a four-phase plan for the new campus and expansion of educational offerings Tuesday, at 7:30 a.m. in the Kosciusko County Foundation building, 102 E. Market St., Warsaw.
Ivy Tech president Gerald Lamkin, vice president Chuck Harris and North Central Region chancellor Virginia Calvin as well as Walgamuth will be present at the meeting, according to a Region 2 media advisory. [[In-content Ad]]
