  1. NOUN has kill students that required increase fee new on courses a return students who are in 300 and 400 Level. We students poor afford with this fee new courses which like SWIES #10,000 & TEACHING PRACTICE #10,000 and PROJECT #15,000. So, before we register courses SWIES #2500, TEACHING PRACTICE #2500 and PROJECTS #10,000 that make students fast paid in time running but now we’re face difficult financial due to spend heavy print paper & teach children in school with cost transfer from one another place. The School management should consider about this problem is many reasons for students’s afford are face hardly time. Thank you enough is enough… We may taken protest against the authority school
