I am currently enrolled at a technical institute, can I sue the school because they are charging double for the same class I took twice?
The class I took was structured cabling. I took the class over not knowing i was being charged for it. They changed the name and still charged me. I want to sue for fraud. I passed the class with an A. I took a break and they told me to take the class again because they modified there course. So I took it and it was the same exact class that I had already taken. The final and everything in the class was the exact same. They are charging me for it and I dont think its fair that I had to pay twice for the same class just different name and a 1/2 credit more than the original.

From what you have written, you very well could have a small claims action against your school for deception because you were required to pay for two courses which were essentially the same course where your damages would be the costs of the second course.
Before you go to small claims court, I suggest that you consult with the head of the school about your concerns and frustrations where the school may offer you a cost credit for units in the future with respect to your education.
