orintation fom HELL
krishna & a horrible, very bad, no good rotten day I am so exhausted from this day I do not even want to write about it
day started at 5 am
get their at 7 am
find out I am still listed as an out of state student that’s right Mrs. nickels lied to me back in October. My balance dew now is a measly 10,000 dollars per semester witch is in fact more $$ than I even made last year.
At this pint it is around 12 in the afternoon fortunately I did not need to do the all day orientation since I had already sighed up for classes with my academic adviser
Was told" it dose not matter if you can prove residency in va, you dont have a drivers license and have not made enuff to file taxes in va” so it suxs to be you "we have done all we can do for you ms.
Isley have a nice day"
now lets talk about finantual aid
during vcus xmass brake I received the paper work saying I was going to receive a 5,000 $ loan I was not able to look into this until the 5th being the day VCU reopened
I went there Monday and asked if every thing was in order for me to pick up my loan ( oh by the way the reason I was given this loan was because as an out of state resident I do not qualify for the pail grant , witch no one bothered to tell me ) the lade said all I had to do was go on line and sign a master promissory note
ok I do that I go in today to see how that was coming along
.
They say you need to go home printout these 3forms then fill out these three forms. Go to the IRS to get a paper saying you have not paid taxes in the past few years.
And get a proof of SSA form from social security and after they get these forms they will look these forms over and I should know if I would still get the loan no sooner then 10 days!
Classes start on MONDAY! I ask why n o one could of contacted me about all this needing to be done, when I could of done all this back in October when I filled for fasfa, she replies we sent you an email about it to your VCU email account
Me ‘do you mean the email account I could not set up till today at orientation”
Her “yes that email account it is your responsibility to look at that every day.
Me “how was I suppose to look at it when I could not access it till today”
Her “what you do with your email is not my concern mam.
, as I said it is your responsibility to look at your emails”
So I go to social security, then I go to the IRS, then I go back to the finantual aid department .
its now 3 :40
She says this is the wrong year from social security we need to see 2007 not 2008
I run out the door social security closes at 4 o clock I get there at 3 :55 get the right years from the lady working at the desk .
go home print out the 2 forms no one bothered telling me I needed to fill out , except of coarse in the email supposable sent to me a few weeks ago and at 4 :35 turn in all the information needed
I go to the book store and by my books “since I wont be getting my loan for at lest 10 business days and at that point I will be so far behind I might as well not bother and drop out
On the bright side all 6 of my books so far have come to only 80 $ there may be one more book I do not know the price of because I do not know if I can get into the class yet I have an interview on Tuesday with the professor to see if she will let me in or not.
