Out of town

Okay, so there has been very few updates to this lately, as this summer I have been busy traveling. Spent some time in New Mexico, Georgia, NC, Tennessee, and now finishing up some work in Philadelphia.

Those of us starting KD in the Fall of 09 get to be part of the transistion that is currently underway in the KD program from IUPUI to the Bloomington campus. This transisition has scared me from the start. I believe it is great for those of us yet to graduate, as we will have our Bloomington transcripts and degrees, but rather the actual transistion scared me. The behind the scenes part. I have sent numerous emails to the KD staff inquiring about parts of the transisition, some answers were better than others.

My OneStart account finally shows me as a Bloomington student (and also as an IUPUI student). My Financial Aid (loans) has not shown up yet. Originally I was told Mid-June, however apparently with the near shutdown of the state of Indiana over the budget, this was delay to now Mid-July (nothing as of today). However, I believe they were waiting for the approved tuition rates for 2009-10.

The Indiana University Board of Trustees met this morning and approved tuition rates. IUPUI has already posted the rates, and it seems KD rates are going from $945 per credit hour to $995. Fee structure seems to have possibly changed as well, but I could not figure out what would relate to KD and what wouldn't. Bloomington posted 2009-10 tuition rates, but has no mention of KD. Unsure if the tuition is the same between the two campus for the KD program or not.

With a few weeks left until in-residence, I still am freightened about the transistion. Hopefully Financial Aid posts soon as well as everything else that needs to happen.
