=Financially secure before the next semester=

(Bangor) Many students have issues financially and it gets frustrating for everyone, but for some, the frustrations seem to reach a much higher level. Students don’t usually have any money especially enough to pay for tuition alone none the less all the other expenses that come with it. Help from parents’, student loans, scholarships, and even work-study seem to be the only way the (what seems to be a t times unreasonable) bill gets paid. For those students who can’t seem to get the money they need to cover their cost for tuition try to get a job to help. Work-study is a major source of money for a lot of students. Some use work-study just to receive money for personal items. Others actually need work-study to work off their tuition, and yet they still find it impossible to register for classes when that time arrives. Why is this an issue? Financial aid associate Katie Leighton explains, “The school policy is that everything needs to be cleared, with understanding that things happen we try to work those things out but before students can get registered for next semester we need to make sure everything is paid for and cleared for this semester." There will be students that may try to get out of paying the bill.” For those students who can’t register for classes for the sole reason of financial debt, the reasoning although may not be liked and can still be frustrating is understood. 

These are finances that students must make sure are all paid off before registering for next semester classes.
