<human>: Hello LegalAdvice,

I attended a five year graduate program. Starting the second year, we have community placements for training and a corresponding class throughout the year. This class met once a week for two hours in the fall and spring, and then one time for just an hour in the summer (we essentially have trimesters). However, when going over my tuition records I noticed it was billed for 3 credit hours in the fall, 2 in the spring, and 1 in the summer. Essentially, we were billed for 6 credit hours and only received 4 credit hours of actual instruction (plus whatever fraction for the one session in the summer).

I decided to ask around about this and the final answer I got is that when the tuition was originally determined, not all students did a community placement in their fourth year. The extra tuition was essentially being used to pay for training department staff since they could not count on the income from the final community  placement. However, due to increased competition for our final year internship, every student my year and I'm assuming for several years before has done all three community placements. The school has actually updated the billed credit hours for the class to reflect this.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: My school billed 6 credit hours for a series of classes that only actually met for 4 credit hours. Do I and other students that were affected by this have grounds to try to be reimbursed for those two credit hours?
