Please consider your alternate course choices carefully. If none of your choices is available you will be contacted by the Registrar to see if you would consider joining a class not yet filled.
**Fall School Fees Description (from Spring Loop 2010) As you will see with the Fall Rug School information the fees for this school have gone up considerably since last year. Your school committee felt that you deserved an explanation for this so here goes. Over the past number of years we have kept the fees for both Spring and Fall schools the same, but this cannot continue. In actual fact it costs more to use the facilities at Cornwallis than it does at the Agricultural College. As a result for several years students have been charged less for their room and board at Cornwallis than the school has been charged. With enough students registered this shortfall has always been covered, but as with everything else prices are going up. Last year the fall school had a considerable deficit which was covered by the Guild, but this cannot happen every year, therefore the increase in fees has to be passed on to the students. Your school committee is in no way looking to have a profit at the end of the day, merely to cover our costs. Trust this clarifies things for you. See you in September at School.
