Wow I am going through much the same thing. I didn't even submit all my information when I was researching colleges. I got a call 5 minutes later from an AC of UOP rep. I rolled my eyes but listened to what she had to say. She also told me that my tuition and books would be totally covered in financial aid. I wanted to wait until I was approved for my grants before enrollment. She said that was fine and asked for my information so she could have everything ready for when I was ready to enrol. I naively agreed and felt I was forced into class before my financial aid forms were returned. I started class before my high school transcripts were transfered! I was approved for the Academic Competitivness grant but never recieved it. After my last set of classes that ended on July 22, I never had new classes available. I called every councelor I have talked to with the school. No one answered my questions or returned my calls. Finally I found someone to talk to and he informed me that I was losig my financial aid and it had been labeled return to lender that day and would be sent at the end of the week if we did not start the process of getting the money back. Later he said that it had been sent the day before I talked to him. now I must get a personal loan just to get back into class and finnish the year. If I do not finnish these classes I can not get financial aid for next year and so forth. I don't think I should be disallowed into class and my funds revoked because they would not post a class for me to attend. I should be allowed back in class imediately with all funds returned and not have to pay "out of pocket" for any of it. It seems this is a common problem and maybe the school needs to be sued in order for students rights to be respected.
