What a nasty business this college financial aspect has turned into for your family!

In example 1, why wouldn’t the new fees be included in the tuition/fees, etc. portion of the college bill and your account show a $200 credit? That would seem the correct way to do the paper trail.

I think purplexed is right that it would be very useful for CC consumers to know the name of School #2. I remember my alma mater would get a lot of kids to come by giving them 1 year renewable scholarships and then rarely renew them. It’s not the same as financial aid, but still…if no situation as suggested by paying3tuitions is applicable, then it would be VERY interesting to the parents of future applicants if a school has a propensity to talk sweetly the first year to get you in and then slash and burn your award in future years.
