Today I learned from the literature is how to pay your college bill. Financial Aid had grant and loan. Grant is a type of financial aid that you can get for free money from the government. On the other hand, loans need to pay back and interest, after six month when you graduate. If you get grant to pay your college bill, you should not drop your courses. Although you can get refund from your classes, you need to pay back your money if you drop out too many courses. However if you fail the class financial aid will cover your class’s money. I also learned that the average student loan debt in 2014 is 30,000 dollars. As a full time student you should talk 12 credits in one semester because full time students only need to pay 2,250 dollar. If you do not take class as full time students you need to pay your course count by credits which are one credit per 195 dollar. It is a way that you can earn more credit and pay less.

Dear Nina:
Today, I went to a presentation about academic literacy, speech department and English 101. Basic skills classes is a course you take when you fail the placement exam. This course dived to three level for writing and two for reading which is BE 205,203, 201 and BE226, 225. Each level needs to take four hours per week. For example you are in the BE 201 you need take one semester, then go to 203, then 205. Then you can take the placement again. If you fail the class you need to retake the class. You need to pay it for three credit class but it will not count for your college credit. It is $195 per credit which means you need pay $585 per each Basic Skill Class. After you pass Basic Skill. You can go to English 101. You need to take at least two English class during the college.
You friend,

Today I listened to a lecture on Cuny Start and ASAP delivered by Madhumia Chandra and Najwa Argandwall. Cuny Start is a program that procides instruction in academic reading, writing and math for college bound students who have not pass the CUNY placement tests. If you only didn't pass the math placement, there is a part time math program for students. I think this would not be a good program for me because I passed math placement. For more information about this program, students can contact phone number:718-281-5368, or e-mail to [email protected]. ASAP is a program that can help you to more quickly finish your career. It can give you dedicated advisement, enhanced career development services, tuition waivers, voucher to reduce the cost of textbooks and free monthly Metro Cards. I think this is a very good program for me because they pay for our book fee and monthly metro card. It is a very large benefit for us because book and monthly metro card are cost a lot now days. For more information about this program, students can contact 718-631-6680 or go to W building, rooms110&113.
