But colleges have expressed outrage at the proposal because they say the timing will not allow them to inform students of the changes. "It could cause havoc if implemented this summer," said lane Etish-Andrews, director of Tufts' International Center, which han- dles immigration affairs for the 800 foreign students at the Medford/Somerville Campus. "We send out information to incoming international students at the end of May and we would like lo give them as much information as possible. Knowing the way the government works, we won't see this moving too fast." The director said she was not certain if the fee would apply to students already in the U.S. and she was anxious to let current students know if they would be affected by the regulations. She also added that Canadian students would have to pay the fee, even though they do not require a visa lo study in the U.S. Students will be able to pay the one-time fee using a credit card over the Internet or with a money order drawn on a U.S. bank. If implemented, the fee will be paid by more than 100,000 students and visiting scholars annu- ally, in addition to visa fees of at least $45.
