Summer Tuition

So I was registering for summer class, I wanted to take two class but realized it was too expensive. When I went to account summary by term, I saw:

Matriculation - Undergraduate $328.12
Matriculation-Undergrad-Sum 3 $328.12
Local Fees-Undergrad.Res $160.12
Local Fees-UG.Res-Summer 3 $160.12
Transportation Access Fee $25.00
Lab Fee AL LANG $5.00

What is local fees? Why do I get charged every semester for my decal? There is a lab fee to take an language class?

I hate how colleges 'nickle and dime' their students.
I can only afford to take one summer class, so my graduation is being pushed off again...figures

  2. They should have explanation for the code...not just charge us and make us pay whatever they charge.

  3. i hear ya, bunch of bs if you ask me.
    i tried looking for the explaination of the "local" fees on fau's website and i only found a breakdown of every other fee except that, great. luckily though in fau's epay site there's a tab "enroll in payment plan" if you already didnt know. good luck in your endeavours.
