I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Liverpool Polytechnic, and I'm two terms 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 $4,850. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction 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 $4,850 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $290 • Final term tuition: $2,450 • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,110 If you're reading this, thank you.

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

    • Gerald E. CunninghamOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. textbooks and materials comes first ($290) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
