Hi Jothanne, April, and Tina.

0:00:02.460,0:00:03.445
Thanks for your questions.

0:00:03.660,0:00:07.260
I know this is a serious question for lots of students.

0:00:07.404,0:00:10.795
I just want to let you know that the Ontario government

0:00:10.920,0:00:14.600
put in place a policy regarding the $500 fee

0:00:14.820,0:00:21.140
and so we're bound as every other college is in Ontario, to collect that fee from students.

0:00:21.240,0:00:27.840
I want to tell you though, that I don't want "not being able to pay tuition" or pay a deposit

0:00:27.840,0:00:30.040
To be a reason why students can't come to Algonquin College.

0:00:30.040,0:00:35.295
So we're working with the government to make sure that we give feedback on this new policy.

0:00:35.295,0:00:40.093
and we're also working here in the registrar's office to make sure that if a student needs help,

0:00:40.100,0:00:41.980
that they can get it.

0:00:41.980,0:00:47.720
So I would advise you to contact the registrar's office and talk to them

0:00:47.720,0:00:50.360
about some help with that deposit.
