The previous policy was the source of a recent complaint from a student (see our November 29, 2017 issue). Tuition at the college is calculated on a cost-per-hour basis; however, as we previously reported, not all in-class hours are the same for courses with the same material, learning outcomes, and credits. To account for this, the college has added a paragraph in its policy saying that although tuition is calculated by the hour, in-class hours could differ due to differences in delivery methods.<\/p>\n<p><b>Camosun alumni joins board of governors<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Camosun grad Phil Venoit has joined the Camosun College Board of Governors.
