Univiersities and colleges are nickle and diming and overcharging our students for everything from taping a poster to a wall, to overcrowded living situations, to overcrowded unavailable classes forcing them to commit to >4 years. However, when simple fees are incorrectly assessed and no effort is made to either communicate or reimburse, it's outrageous. The University and staff seem to forget that we do pay tuition for THEIR service to the STUDENT. Below is the series of communications by date.

Dean Jones & Student Affairs,
Regarding the fee charged for parking for half of this fall semester, I was shocked to discover that the parking charge was not prorated for half of the a semester. The space was not granted until October 24th.
I understand that this is a school, and as such, this is most certainly an oversight. Even parking garages in NYC prorate their fees. Since the school pretty much has a monopoly on student parking in Glassboro, to not prorate this fee would be unconscionable, and bordering on fraud while exploiting the students.
I would appreciate it if the appropriately prorated amount (50%) is reimbursed to Rowan Bucks account (ID if credit can be made in that manner.
