Declan's final semester of a diploma in hospitality management in Manukau
Declan is two terms away from finishing a diploma in hospitality management but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $4,450.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Manukau State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,450.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $4,450 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,900
• Final term tuition: $1,950
• Exam and lab fees: $250
• Textbooks and materials: $350
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Declan
Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $1,900. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
