Hi Jothanne, April, and Tina.

2
00:00:02,460 --> 00:00:03,445
Thanks for your questions.

3
00:00:03,660 --> 00:00:07,260
I know this is a serious question for lots of students.

4
00:00:07,404 --> 00:00:10,795
I just want to let you know that the Ontario government

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,600
put in place a policy regarding the $500 fee

6
00:00:14,820 --> 00:00:21,140
and so we're bound as every other college is in Ontario, to collect that fee from students.

7
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:27,840
I want to tell you though, that I don't want "not being able to pay tuition" or pay a deposit

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,040
To be a reason why students can't come to Algonquin College.

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:35,295
So we're working with the government to make sure that we give feedback on this new policy.

10
00:00:35,295 --> 00:00:40,093
and we're also working here in the registrar's office to make sure that if a student needs help,

11
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:41,980
that they can get it.

12
00:00:41,980 --> 00:00:47,720
So I would advise you to contact the registrar's office and talk to them

13
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,360
about some help with that deposit.
