Students who want to study at a Telford Rural Polytechnic
next year will have to pay higher fees.
The Telford council yesterday decided to raise fees in 2011
by 4% including GST, meaning a domestic student enrolling in
the certificate of agriculture course, which in 2010 cost
$3190, will pay $3317.60 next year.
The Telford Hall of Residence, which runs at a loss of
$100,000 to $170,000 each year, depending on occupancy, will
have hostel fees increased by 5%.
From January 1, hostel residents will be charged a weekly
rate for each week of their course.
Students staying for five days, with communal facilities,
will each pay $181.79, while a student paying for an ensuite
room for seven days will pay $280.99.
