Student fees hiked $450 as U of C battles deficit - Gwendolyn Richards, Calgary Herald

University of Calgary students will pay more this fall to attend school after the board of governors approved the creation of a controversial non-academic fee -- a move that will add millions to the university's revenues, but has disappointed students. Starting in September, full-time undergraduate and graduate students will pay $450 in mandatory student services fees, but will be partially rebated for the first two years. The new fee will add $4 million to the U of C's coffers for the 2010-11 academic year and about $12 million for 2012-13 when students will pay the full fee.
