I am not living on campus, when I click what do I owe it says “-6355.50”… does this mean I will get that money back for books and transportation ? How much are the classes ?

Scroll down to “Cost of Attendance.”
your total direct cost (tuition and fees) are $ 9026 the year or $4513 for the spring semester
Your spring financial aid is $6205. your account shows -6355.50 (which is a credit) After they deduct what you owe for the semester Tuition, fees (do you have to pay for parking, student health, etc which are not covered in the fees).
Then you should expect a refund $1842, which you will have to ration out for transportation, books, lunch and any other misc. Expect to spend ~ $400 for books. Other expenses over the next 5 months $288/month or $66.60/week for carfare, lunch and misc. expenses)
