How is the TCI Implemented?
The credits will be distributed by the NRVP. Following the completion of the
student's placement and their successful registration at UBC, the NRVP will
issue the tuition credits in the form of a third party sponsor's donation to
the student's tuition fees. This is done through the UBC Tuition Payment Office.
Proof of registration in the form of a receipt of the $100.00 registration deposit
and confirmation from the registrar's office are necessary before the credits
can be redeemed. The tuition credits will be deducted from that semester's tuition.
The money will not be available for withdrawl as cash and will either be held
for future tuition payments or be re-circulated for other positions. Tuition
credits cannot be transferred into cash or into another student's account. The
credits are not treated as earnings made at a job, but as a donation made by
the NRVP to tuition payment, in response to volunteer work completed by the
student with a participating organization. The credits are only good for payment
towards tuition at UBC.
Insurance will be purchased for each participating student by the NRVP through
the UBC Student Accident Insurance plan. Supervision will be the responsibility
of the participating organization. They will fill out time sheets and send in
a monthly summation of duties and hours to the NRVP.
Students can participate in the TCI by responding to the position postings on
the NRVP website. These postings will be under the heading: Tuition Credit Initiative
Current Positions. The process from there is much the same as applying for a
job. Students will be asked to submit resumes and cover letters. Interviews
will be held by the participating organizations.
