LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - A tuition hike could be coming for New Mexico State University students.

The Las Cruces Sun-News reports (https://bit.ly/2ntMHaT ) that the New Mexico State University Board of Regents will consider the rate increase Monday.

Officials are proposing a tuition and fee rate hike of up to 6 percent for the Las Cruces campus.

That would increase the cost from about $254 to $269 per credit hour.

A student with a full-time course load of 15 credit hours would pay $196 more per semester.

Chancellor Garrey Carruthers has said the school system needs the bump in anticipation for state budget cuts that are likely.
