Forty-nine students from South China Normal University have filed a report to the local pricing department and education department, complaining that the university has shifted them to a different major without prior notice and defaulted them of a total of RMB110,000 in tuition fees.
A student surnamed Li has told local media that the Education Technology School of SCNU charged each of them RMB5160 per year for them to focus on their major of Communications, which was designated as a science discipline upon their entry into the school, but later Communications was changed into a major of arts whose tuition fee should be RMB4560. That's to say, the school has overcharged a total of RMB110,000 from the 49 students over the four years.
A deputy secretary general of the Education Technology School, said that they are discussing a solution and would give the students a satisfactory answer soon.
