Current Park University students can expect some financial stability in the 2015-16 academic year.

In a press release sent to the Park community last week, it was announced the university “will offer its current students a one-year ‘tuition freeze’ throughout the upcoming 2015-16 academic year, despite tuition rate increases for new students.”

The press release also said students who enrolled at Park throughout the 2014-15 school year are eligible for the existing rate.

Any new student to Park who enrolls between now and the summer semester will also be eligible.

“At Park University we provide education without boundaries, and customer satisfaction and student success are top priority,” said Rita Weighill, executive director of student marketing, in the press release. “This tuition freeze is our way to give back and thank the students who have already chosen Park as their educational partner. We are honored to be a part of helping them shape their successful future by providing them with an affordable and excellent education.”

For the remainder of the 2014-15 academic year, students who enroll in the eight-week Spring II term, the two-week Maymester session, the eight-week Summer session and four-week Junemester session and the four-week Julymester session all qualify for the tuition freeze.

“Increased rates will begin with new students enrolling in Fall semester and Fall I term courses, which begin Monday, Aug. 17,” the press release said.
