Students can be expected to be digging much deeper into their pockets next year after Colorado State Board of Governors approved a 9% increase in tuition and fees on Friday.

Next year Colorado State University Student fees alone will  increase to a hefty $1,729 while undergraduate student tuition will be $7,494 which is a $619 increase over the previous year.

The recent increase in fees will only affect the Fort Collins Colorado State University campus and will not affect the Pueblo campus.
