The University of British Columbia – June 20, 2007 – The University of British Columbia is discontinuing the use of credit cards by domestic students for tuition payments. The annual savings of $2.5 million in transaction fees will be used in support of teaching and learning for undergraduate and graduate students.

Should I have guessed this from the email telling me my payment options? Oh…I see…second paragraph at the end: “Online credit card payment for tuition is only available to international students.” A subject line “BE PREPARED YOU CAN’T PAY TUITION WITH A CREDIT CARD ANYMORE SO FORGET ABOUT COLLECTING THOSE AIR MILES FOR A TRIP HOME AT THANKSGIVING” would have been more appropriate.
Now tuition is due in 2 days. Do they think I actually have money in a Canadian bank account?

I’m a little hooped - what do I do?

I guess for starters I should stop wasting time trying to figure out how I can close my hotmail account.
