I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Dublin University, 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 $3,200. 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 department head 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 Dublin University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,200 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,350 • Final term tuition: $1,300 • Exam and lab fees: $150 • Textbooks and materials: $400 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Colm

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

    • Colm C. JohnstonOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $1,350. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.

              Best of luck. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Take care!
