Adding a class

I’m currently enrolled in 9 units total since this is my last year and only need a few classes left I was planning on 3 for fall and 3 for spring. But after my charges cleared I noticed I’m not getting all my aid not sure if it’s an error or what. But I’m wondering id it’s too late to add an additional course for full time and get all my aid. I am thinking of calling the FA office but I figured it may be hard to reach them since so many are probably calling asking about distributing funds. I just was wondering if anyone else has experienced this before that may offer some help or advice

scholarship no longer on financial aid package?

just received an email that my financial aid package was ready. I originally had two scholarships on top of the SUG but now I only see one of the two? 🫠

I believe the one that disappeared is the continuing students scholarship. Is this happening to anyone else?

This is going to sound a little bit controversial but I don't really care

Hey guys. It's your friendly neigborhood autistic dude. Just wanted to say thank you for your support the last couple of weeks with the "friend" group. I always appreciate people who have my back. There's something that I want to get off my chest. It may be stupid but I honestly don't care. I'm 21 years old, I don't really have much friends when I was younger let alone people who actually accept me. My most of my teen years were taken by the Covid-19 pandemic and depression, and because of it, I want to confess with something. The truth is as a college student, I haven't really acted much of an adult and that's because I'm not really ready for it yet. I still live with my parents, I don't have a job, I never dated before (let alone a first kiss), I'm not married (people MY age are starting to get married lol), all I do is go to school, do homework, watch movies, play games, and collect toys. This is something that I wanted to take my time and unfortunately, not a lot of people accept it. By any means, I'm not trying to sound TOO desperate even though it might look like it but if you look at a different perspective, it GENUINELY sucks that not many people are OK with it. I get that at some point I will have to mature, but I want to take my time while enjoy my years before I actually mature. And even THEN, what's wrong with being both a kid and an adult? lol. Thanks for hearing and listening to me :)

Help?

Hello I so i keep having this message pop out when I check for fafsa updates. I had went to the financial aid office and honestly the guy that was helping just said dont worry about that. I also sent a message through email and the website but still no response I went immediately the day after I saw the last update which was last month, but really got no help 😅. Can anyone tell me if I should be worried I assume their telling me this due to not accepting any loans thankfully I am being covered by federal and state help. (The message is under award package)

Bye bye Coca Cola

Say bye bye to Coca Cola, for some damn reason the school decided to sign with Pepsi this time... WHICH SUCKS BY THE WAY. The bookstore is already not selling Coke, I checked this morning.... (However, the bookstore has a deal of buy one get one free today!) I just wanted to let you all know....

I prefer Coke over Pepsi, that is why I am upset

Financial aid and U-pass

Does anyone know when the financial aid gonna be given? I am curious, I'm on my fourth year and this is the first time i have seen financial aid be VERY delay. I had to pay my u-pass out of pocket cuz I commute to school and don't trust the roads at all.

Moreover the u-pass is literally $99 dollars!?!??!?!?!This is crazy I remember the u-pass being 79 at least but they tripled it. Inflation is crazy😭😭

fafsa

Does anyone else get this where it says no financial aid awards available? Before I was able to go to accept or decline my awards for fall and now it isn’t allowing me to select 2027, fall 2026 doesn’t show up on my 2026 tab it’s always showed up on 2027 so now I’m wondering if I’m truly not getting any awards this semester which wouldn’t surprise me since they needed me to sign a pell grant acknowledgment form for them to review my fafsa since I am almost at my limit. I sent them an email last week and still nothing. But since sunday i was able to select 2027 and see what I might get from fafsa but now today 2027 appear blank. I’m at work right now so i’ll probably call them tomorrow since I don’t know how busy they might be currently but is anyone else having the same issue or no? Stressed since I need to pay around $4k by september 14th so I need to figure out if i need to take out a loan😭🙃

SAI Appeal

I’m currently waiting on a response from the financial aid office for my SAI appeal, but it has been exactly 6 weeks since I submitted my application. When I asked for an update through email, they said “SAI Appeal review can generally take between 4-6 weeks to be completed.”

For those who have done this before, how long did it take for you to see an update on student forms? Has it taken longer than 6 weeks? Should I contact anyone at this point? 😭
