I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Belfast Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,150. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 average, and my professor has written in support of my application for a payment plan. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility. I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Belfast Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $5,150 goes: • Final term tuition: $2,750 • Exam and lab fees: $280 • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,120 Glad we found this place.
