Exemption fees rile BOCODOL students

The learners completed their diploma programmes through distance learning at the institute and are now enrolled for their degrees. The learners say BOCODOL made them start their degrees at year two, as they had already covered the first year modules while pursuing their diplomas.

They however say that the institution then required that all students pay P4,840 as an exemption fee, a decision the students say was communicated late and forced many to scurry about raising funds for the payment.
