As expected the Selkirk College Board of Governors has approved a Student Service Fee which means all students will have to pay more.
This $139 per year will cover costs associated with student health and wellness and to support students’ transition to employment.
These services are not funded through the college’s normal operating budget.
As an example in the past five years there has been a significant increase in demand for services related to student mental health challenges.
The Selkirk board has also approved charging tuition fees for things like Adult Basic Education and Adult Special Education.
However the vast majority of these students are eligible for an Adult Upgrading Grant which off-sets this cost.
