One semester away: help Ngahuia graduate from Wellington Community College
Ngahuia is one term away from finishing a computer science degree but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $3,650.
🇳🇿 Wellington, New Zealand3,366 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Wellington Community College, and I'm one term 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 $3,650.
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 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.
The payment will go directly to the Wellington Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $3,650 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,300
• Final term tuition: $910
• Exam and lab fees: $230
• Textbooks and materials: $210
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Bang Khen
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ngahuia
Outstanding tuition balance is $2,300 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
How is Ngahuia doing now?
Stay strong, Ngahuia. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Hang in there, Ngahuia. Your post was clear and honest. Love from San Diego.
