BY AUDRA GAMBLE [email protected]

he Grand Valley State University Board of Trustees approved a 3 percent increase in tu­ ition for the 2015-16 aca­ demic year at their July 10 meeting. This decision raises the cost of attending GVSU by $163 per se­ mester, bringing the annual total for a first-time student to $11,078. This is the first year that tuition costs over $11,000, as last years bill came in at $10,752. For lower level undergraduate tu­ WET ition, a semester will total $5,539. The price tag for upper level tuition is now $5,824, adding $172 per semester. Annis Water The 3 percent increase comes in Resources Institute just under Gov.
