I went to college in the fall through Northern Arizona University. I am not a resident of Arizona yet. I saw that the tuition to actually go there would be very high for me, so I decided to ask the college for other options. I called a few times and everyone at the guidance center that i spoke to said that it would be the same price (which was around $3000) for non-residents and residents to do online classes instead of attending school on campus. I thought this sounded good, so I enrolled. I paid the $3000 and started the semester. when i went to register for the spring semester in mid december, they told me that i had to pay out of state rates and i owed them 5000 for the previous semester, and if i wanted to continue i would have to pay 7000 for the spring semester. I said I didn't want to do this, and didn't know what to do, because i don't have 5000 to give them. i am out of school this semester, but want to go to a college in my home-state this fall but NAU won't transfer my transcripts because i owe them money. What can I do? I wasn't aware of these fees, and definitely did not sign anything saying that I would pay them. Don't I have any rights when it comes to this under FERPA laws? Please help, I need my transfer application to be complete in 3 weeks!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
