Whether you are looking to save up and buy a home, or are struggling with student loans, these classes will provide strategies to enhance personal financial control.

All classes are free and open to students, faculty and staff. Classes will cover a wide variety of financial education topics and are designed to ensure that every member of the University community has access to resources that will help them make informed financial decisions.

The upcoming sessions will take place Monday, April 15:

• Health Science Campus Health Education Building Room 103 — 2 p.m. Buying a New Home, and 4 p.m. Money Matters.

In Money Matters, participants will better understand how to manage money by preparing a personal spending plan and identifying ways to decrease spending and increase income. Budgeting tools will be discussed to help manage bills, prioritize financial goals, and create a plan to achieve those goals.

The Buying a New Home session will explore what to know and what to ask about the home-buying process. Attendees will learn how to choose a lender, review available payment assistance programs, and other options for financing.
