Computer Glitch Gave Free Education To College Students

Four students at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County got a free ride, according to a state audit released Tuesday.
"A student received a refund but had not been charged tuition for that semester," said Bruce Myers, legislative auditor.
The errors are the result of a computer glitch.
The audit, conducted between 2008 and 2011, showed that one student was not charged up to $8,000 in tuition and fees, but that same student also got a financial aid refund of more than $10,000.  A second UMBC student got almost $10,000 in financial aid and never had to pay tuition and fees.
