Hey PF,  

I live in an area heavily reliant on the oil and gas industry - we all know how well that's doing right now. My whole city is feeling it and my part time job is just barely covering the costs of living right now while I'm doing a full courseload at university. I am in my second year and have yet to take out student loans.   

I'll admit full guilt that I haven't been very farsighted lately and I could have spent less these past few months than I have. But here I am now in the present trying to make best of the situation.

Winter semester tuition is due Dec. 1. I only owe $1400 more but  the cut back of shifts at work is going to make it impossible to make that money plus my monthly costs (approx $1300, that's being extremely frugal).  

I got a notice saying I've been preapproved for an extra $2000 on my credit card (I currently have about that much accumulated on my cards - this is my *only* debt.)  

I'm sure I'm going to be receiving a scholarship of $1000, but after the tuition is due. I'm also doing my best to make some extra cash but, again, I'm not sure it will come into my possession until after the due date.  

This seems like an out for me. I'm very stressed out about my situation and might not be thinking clearly. I think if I can just make it past this month, I can be golden. I'll get my head down and just work to get my credit cards in check. Am I missing something that obviously says why I *shouldn't* raise my credit limit? Any suggestions on procuring about $3000 in less than a month?
<bot>: Need to pay $1400 balance of tuition by Dec 1, as well as pay rent, etc. Should I put it on my credit card?
