A handful of students met face-to-face with St. Clair College president Patti France to voice their concerns ahead of their return to classes Tuesday.

Several paralegal students were worried about their eligibility to take their upcoming competency exam, while others had questions about childcare costs they didn't expect because the semester will now stretch into their holiday break.

France said the school has special bursaries or emergency loans in place through a hardship fund to help cover some of the financial burden.

Students will receive an updated syllabus Tuesday outlining how the rest of their semester will play out.
