PJC Board of Regents approve slight tuition increase

Published or Revised February 28, 2020

At a Monday, Feb. 24, 2020 meeting, the Paris Junior College Board of Regents approved an increase of $1 per semester credit hour for in-district and out-of-district tuition for the 2020-2021 academic year that begins with the fall 2020 semester. The Regents also voted to make no changes to existing dual credit tuition and fees. In other action, the Regents:
  • Received a financial report from Controller Keitha Carlton showing that for the fiscal year, expenses remain well below revenue.
  • Moved the regular March board meeting to March 31.
  • Received a report that PJC has again received the Claims Administrative Services Workers Compensation Awards for having the lowest loss ratio of 2018-2019 and the lowest three-year ratio for 2018-2019. PJC has been given two $500 scholarships as a result.
  • Learned that the average amount spent per full-time student equivalent is $5,040 compared to $7,409 as the state average. Most East Texas colleges are below the state average.
  • Accepted the employment of Megan Chapman as Student Activities Coordinator and Jon Eubanks as Director of Physical Plant, effective March 2; and of Rafael Ramirez as Campus Police Officer, effective Feb. 21.
