FAFSA Confusion

FAFSA Confusion

Frustrated with the system.

I did not receive financial aid, because my online application was intercepted. I asked my local branch for a paper form and they told me they are only at the main campus. I called the main campus asking if I could come and pick up the form sometime…She told me I had to fill it out there and could not leave the building with it. That would have been great, had I went there, but I’ve only had my license for a few months and am working. Yay. FINALLY.

Anyway, my dad called me yesterday from another local campus where she hands him a FAFSA form and tells both of us that the Fenton campus has them as well. They don’t…I asked. She told me to fill out the paper form (no need to turn it in) and then fill it out again online and submit it.

Keep in mind, this is the same site I went to before, when it got intercepted. Depending how many times you try to access this url…it changes! The date changes. If you don’t know which number is correct, you’re sending personal information to an illegitimate sight.

How is it she can give him a form at one branch, when I can’t even take it out of the main campus?

And how will this help if I fill out the paper form FAFSA and don’t do anything with it. Later, go onto the same, ridiculous site and send it again?

I understand the site times out. I filled it out twice because of it. Now, at least I will have the answers in front of me.

Someone please help.

Holy Frustrations! Seems like things never change… my loan office once told me they had no record of me, I asked for it in writing so I wouldn’t have to repay what I already borrowed, he found me just fine!
Thanks,
Clay

haha. Nice Clay! Way to get the job done! My other college friends have trouble with it too. However, those who are attending the major universities submit it w/o any problems. Anyway, I resubmitted yesterday. I hope it worked this time. I commented on your “Show of Hands for Coverage in Iran” and again the comment didn’t post. I’m wondering if this one will. Did u take the pic of all the adorable monkeys?
thanks for your feedback,
