Denver
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at the Denver Institute of Technology, 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 $4,350. 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 academic advisor 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 $4,350 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,500 • Final term tuition: $2,550 • Exam and lab fees: $120 • Textbooks and materials: $180 Every share and every dollar helps. - Lan

                Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lan.

                • Lan JiangOwnerAnswer

                  Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $1,500. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.
