Everything is set. $68.09 for 18% of AA degree

Classes registered for; textbooks bought; Ready to roll. I headed up to my college with the intent of enrolling in a fourth class. After missing out on two full classes, I enrolled in the American Government class, to be held on Saturday mornings. My total credit hours are now 12, establishing myself as a full-time student! Doing so gives me full access to my Pell Grant award of $1400 to be used for Spring and Summer 2009, instead of 75% for less than 12 credit hours.

I ordered the book for the Government class online again, and picked up a new book for the English class at the bookstore. Reason being that the English book came together as a bundle, and I didn't want to miss out on the (presumably)helpful attached writings.

So here are the final figures financially for my enrollment:

Four Classes (12 credit hours) = $504 + $40 school fee = $544
Four books (1 new and 3 used) = $264.09
Total = $808.09
Financial Aid = $740
Out of Pocket expense = $68.09
