Okanagan College will be increasing its tuition for domestic students and international students in the coming year.
Domestic students will see a 2% increase in tuition, while international students will see their tuition increased by 5%.
The decision was reached by the College’s Board of Governors on Tuesday, and follows policy set by the provincial government which limits fee increases to that amount.
For a university transfer arts student taking a full load of lecture courses, the increase will amount to approximately $65.28 per year, rising to $3,342.54.
For a student taking a six-month (24-week) electrical foundation program, tuition would increase by $51.73 to $2,638.29.
A year’s arts tuition for an international student will increase to $12,978 from $12,360.
Okanagan College also re-elected Connie Denesiuk as the chair of the Okanagan College Board of Governors. Denesiuk has served on the College Board since 2012.
Chris Derickson has also been re-elected to the position of Vice Chair.
"It's a real honour to be entrusted by my colleagues with the responsibilities of this position and to serve a great institution in this role," says Denesiuk.
