I'm supposed to start at UOP on April 29th. I called the financial aid office today and to my horror, found out I have been lied to.
I spoke to Krashanda Graves in length about what the school had to offer. I told her I had been approved for Federal Aid, with my EFC as a 0. I specifically asked if this would be sufficient for my tuition and was told yes, that I would only be responsible for $880 for the year out of my pocket. We also discussed subsadized / unsubsidized loans, and if their was the possibilty of a work study.
Well today I was told that the school only honors the pell grant part of Fafsa, and the $10K loan I took out wasn't going to be enough to cover my tuition. And to top it, that if my transcripts didn't arrive on time that I would be placed in a lower level, would not receive the credits (earned) even if they were confirmable, and that I would have to pay that to.
At this point I'm contemplating going to Phoenix to shove my foot up someones ass. I'm trying to better my life and these people are rip offs. If anyone has any info they want to share to help me, please write!
