Summer School Fees
28.02.08
Posted under: Blog365, Life
Who knew that my taking a semester off from college could cause so much more work? Well, since that happened, the university doesn’t consider me to be one of their students, so for my summer courses, I have to pay the visiting undergraduates rate which is $270/unit on top of the $385 enrollment fee. Since I plan to take a total of 8 units over the summer, my entire total comes out to be $2545! That’s absurd!
Well, I may be able to get financial aid if I register for the fall courses, but at this point, I’m only about 75-80% sure that I want to go back. The other part is really making sure that I can change my habits for the better and whatnot. I’m not too sure yet about all of that. All I know for now that I have to may that 2.5 grand up front and if not, then well, I could lose my spot in my classes. I am planning to head to the financial aid office later today to talk to one of the advisers who’s supposed to know much more about this topic.
Hopefully, I’ll either get the university rate or the financial aid. Hopefully.

I know that i’m not much older than you, and that my advice isn’t worth too much…but take it from me: the longer you stay out of school, the harder it is to go back.
I think that over 2 grand is absurd…so wait until Fall if you have to. BUT GO BACK!
Seriously.

Yikes, that’s quite expensive! I hope you can get some aid. It’s awful that the university doesn’t consider you a student since you took some time off. It’s not like you withdrew permanently or something. I mean they’re not going to make you reapply and be accepted to go back in the fall, are they?

Does the school have different rates for in district students and out of district students? If so, I’d check to see if you’d qualify as an in district student. If you do then you probably wouldn’t have to pay the visiting undergraduate rate.
Also, how long has it been since you were last attending classes? I mean, aren’t you taking classes right now?
