University of Phoenix RIPPED OFF Tempe Arizona

I'm pretty sure a UoP degree is worth jack squat, so whether or not you pay the last $800 is not extremely important.  I suppose you might as well spend that last $800 just so you have the piece of paper, but I am guessing it's not going to be worth much.  It really pays to do research before plopping down $50k on what is basically an extremely expensive degree mill.

You must not have been listening to your financial advisor the past year when they were telling you, you were going to have a shortfall with your financial aid which leads to an OOP (Out of Pocket) expense. The tuition as stated on the website 10200 total per year for a associates degree online. 14400 per year for a bachelors degree online. those fees include resource fees and books that are given to you online. The maximum as a first year student to borrow is 9,500 and the max for a senior which is you is 12,500. The maximum Pell Grant for everyone in the entire country is 5645 per year as of July 2013. The other numbers are also the MAX PER YEAR for anyone in the united states. You knew all these things upfront at the beginning of each year when you apply for your FAFSA and get the e-mail back stating what grant and funds you qualify for which is contingent off of your previous years earnings like the REST of the COUNTRY. No offense but if you are going to let 800 dollars stop you from going out finding a job and living off the very bare minimum as possible for you to graduate, it is not the university that has failed you, you are failing yourself. If you want something bad enough, one simply does not lay down and let them chances go, you fight tooth and nail and dig deep within yourself to find the grit to continue on and not give up on your dreams or goals.
