owed the institution tuition fees. The college has already submitted some of the debts to the debtors’ office for further investigation. Most of the students could be deregistered, blacklisted, or not receive their results at the end of the year if their fees are not paid in full. The Financial Manager of the college, Mr Selby, called a meeting with the College Board members, the students’ parents, and members of the Student Representative Council (SRC) to discuss different ways in which parents could be assisted to resolve their financial problems and pay tuition fees owed to the college.
INSTRUCTIONS
Below is a transcript (exact words written down) of what was said under the relevant agenda item that discussed non-payment of tuition fees, among other matters at a recent meeting held. As the minuting secretary of the Finance Department at Gauteng College, it is your duty to take minutes during meetings. Most of the students at Gauteng College did not qualify to be funded by the National Student Financial Aid Department and they therefore owed the institution tuition fees. The institution tried to come up with different ways of assisting students and parents to resolve their financial problems and pay tuition fees. The matter was discussed under agenda item 4.1. Students’ tuition fees debts. Write the minutes for agenda item 4.1 only. This means that the complete format for minutes is not required. Remember that in taking minutes, we carefully select and summarise information, and make changes to style and grammar. Note that you should not record what each person said in turn. You should use the linear format of minutes (in sentences and paragraphs). Your answer should not exceed ONE page in length.
