No 2022-23 Tuition Increase At Walters State
June 20, 2022
The Tennessee Board of Regents voted to freeze tuition at all Tennessee community colleges during its June 16 meeting, including Walters State.
“Our students and their families are facing many financial challenges this year,”
Dr. Tony Miksa, president of Walters State, said. “By keeping tuition at its current
rate in this period of inflation, our students will be able to make decisions for
the coming year knowing that tuition rates will not increase.”
Walters State remains committed to keeping college affordable for students in its
10-county services area, Miksa said. TBR estimates that the cost of a attending community
college is less than half the estimated $10,000 cost at public four-year universities.
Programs like Tennessee Promise, Tennessee Reconnect and the Tennessee Hope Scholarship
make it possible for many students to attend Walters State tuition-free. Most students
graduate without any student debt.
Walters State offers over 150 programs. Some programs prepare students to transfer
to a four-year university and complete a bachelor’s degree. Other programs enable
students to begin a career in an in-demand field immediately following completion
of a two-year degree or technical certificate.
Registration is now underway for fall semester. Classes are offered at four convenient
campuses located in Morristown, Greeneville, Sevierville and Tazewell and at the Walters
State Center in Newport. Dual Enrollment classes are offered at area high schools.
Classes are also offered in a variety of formats ranging from traditional classrooms
to online classes.
Prospective students or students needing readmission can apply for admission at The Admissions Office. For more information, call 423-585-2685 or email senatorscentral@ws.edu.
Students returning from spring semester should contact their academic advisor or the
Student Success Advising Center at student.success@ws.edu or 423-318-2337 to schedule
an advising appointment.
Fall semester begins Aug. 22.
