CONCORD, N.H. — The Community College System of New Hampshire is freezing its tuition for the 2016-17 academic year.

The board of trustees voted Thursday to keep in-state tuition at the state’s seven community colleges at $200 per credit, which translates to about $6,000 a year for full-time tuition.

The vote took place at its meeting at River Valley Community College in Lebanon.

Trustees haven’t raised tuition since 2011.
