Stuff Has Been Accomplished

Okay, somehow, I still don't have a student ID. Or a full time schedule. But I do have the full amount of my student loan approved and a 2009-2011 catalog, which means the school finally put out a catalog.

Actually, there is a lesson to be learned in what happened with my student loan and what caused problems. Make sure you check all the right boxes when you fill out an application for your school. I mistakenly only checked unsubsidized instead of both boxes. But, someone in processing made a mistake too and they did approve the full of the subsidized loan, which I qualified for based on need, but they didn't think to process the unsubsidized loan, too. Either way, when it was all discovered, my loan was processed and approved in 2 minutes instead of the usual 6 to 8 week time frame. Since distribution was today, I just hope it was processed in time for that, especially since school starts in a week and a half.

So remember, when it comes to financial aid, cross all your t's and dot all your i's. It might cost you.
