PRINCE GEORGE – Students enrolling next year at the College of New Caledonia next September can expect to pay more for tuition fees. CNC’s Board of Governors also approved a two per cent increase to fees for domestic students and a three per cent increase to international students. CNC has not increased international tuition fees since August 2016.

“Tuition fee increases are a direct response to continued cost pressures and are necessary to cover fixed costs,” said Tara Szerencsi, CNC Vice President Finance and Corporate Services. “CNC is mindful of costs for students with tuition fees that remain among the lowest in the province.”

Two per cent is the maximum an institution n BC is allowed to increase tuition fees.

The Board also approved a motion directing revenues generated from both the domestic and international tuition increases be invested directly into services supporting students.
