Has anyone at a school of professional psychology run into the issue of being "packaged" for an academic year for a certain number of classes, and then when you ask to be "re-packaged" in order to take more classes in a following semester, you are told that they will not do that and the extra tuition will have to come out of pocket since they refuse to increase your cost-of-attendance to reflect the extra classes? At my institution one is charged more per credit hour the fewer credits taken, so essentially they are saying I am locked into a contract to charge me more per credit hour and take longer to graduate. I've never even heard of this type of nonsense anywhere, since I was able to alter my credit hours every semester as an undergraduate with no problem. Is it possible I'm being scammed here or what?
