I am being denied Financial Aid because I have transferred to UMPI 182 credits. Only 4 are from RA schools. Does anyone know what I can do to receive financial aid? UMPI sent an appeal form. The form doesn't address my situation. Any advice? Other than the 4 RA, all the rest are ACE courses.

Denied Financial Aid Because of 182 Credits.

For financial aid, the difference between NA and RA isn't significant. If I were appealing, I would concentrate on how much aid I had received (hopefully not much). If you've already received 4 years' worth of aid, I can't see that they would grant you more.
My other take is that the main reason we recommend these schools is because the tuition is so reasonable. If you can't get the aid, I'd hope you'd find a way to make it work anyway.

Thank you for responding. I do not have NA credits. I have never received financial aid of any sort.

I'm thinking of paying the entire lot on my credit card, it'll be an extra 2.95% though... They have payment plans, you can split this into 3 payments... However, you missed the deadline, so you can only split it into two now...

I get finances can be tough but these degrees are so freaking cheap (and are an investment right?) and people here hem and haw over something which is 1% the cost of many colleges. There are a billion ways to make it work.
I don't see any existing credit limit for students who have not completed a bachelor degree on the Student Aid site, but what is your previous school GPA? I know you have only 4 credits to transfer, but if you have a college credit (exclude the alt credits) GPA of <2.0 that could be a problem. Meaning if 'way back' you failed two or three courses but passed one (even with an A) the total GPA may be too low for Federal Aid.

I transferred more credits and wasn't denied financial aid. What was your GPA at the RA school? Wondering if that's the issue. Transfer credit typically isn't the issue.

While you may think there are a billion ways to make it work, that's just not the case for many people. Many people don't have credit cards or hte available credit on a credit card to spend $1700 and hope that's all they need to spend. Many people are from other countries and finances are nothing like in the US. |
