First time student, Summer 2026 classes started May 4th and I was able to get a spot the very next day after someone dropped out. I am to recieve the Pell Grant for 3800 dollars. I've been struggling financially so I was looking forward to getting the aid. The disbursement dates were set to 06/02 and 06/09. Today I noticed that my date was changed to 05/04 and 05/05. It was too late to call the office, any idea what this means?
Hi, I'm new to this but just enrolled in community college. Waiting for my financial aid to get disbursed. I have zero dollars and need help, thanks!
500/CA
Repay 700 06/09
Venmo/Zelle/Cash App
Need 500 dollars until financial kicks in, in June. Need supplies, books and gas. Will repay 700 by 06/09. Please...
Anyone else find this whole process to be a huge pain? You submit your paperwork on the 1st so maybe you can be reimbursed by the 15th...that's a big maybe! Turns out the guy who is in charge for my department works from home and is only in office once a week. There have been a few times I've gotten it towards the 30th. And Im sure one of you is going to say how great the program is, sure, but 230 bucks is a weeks groceries and I have no excess cash.
My pay was docked 2 days this pay period because I am getting low on hours. I talked with my specialist and she informed me she did it just in case I took more time off after the 20th than I have so I wouldn't have to owe them. She told me I would be paid next week the difference.
Talking with other employees, this seems to be a pattern. Now my question is, isn't this illegal? From my understanding withholding pay violates California state law and we would be entitled to compensation for every day we do not recieve full pay. I mean correct me if I am wrong.
I am starting school on Monday, I am excited but kind of overwhelmed
How do I keep time?
Am I still represented by my bargining unit?
Do I still accrue time?
Do I continue getting paid once a month or twice a month just as psych techs do?
