Epe
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at the Epe Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $400. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 average, and my faculty supervisor 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 $400 goes: โ€ข Textbooks and materials: $20 โ€ข Final term tuition: $360 โ€ข Exam and lab fees: $20 Glad we found this place. - Mercy

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

          • Mercy OladipoOwnerAnswerID verified

            Sure. The biggest one is textbooks and materials, $20. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.

          • Do you have the balance statement you could share with the moderators?

            • Mercy OladipoOwnerAnswerID verified

              I sent the balance statement in when I posted. I'll upload a redacted copy this week. Ask me anything else.

                Thank you. If you're in Epe I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
