Trying to get things with financial aid figured out before I do financial check-in. There's been so much screw up in the past week that I'm just being able to do it today.

44 minutes and 31 seconds.



But my call is very important to them. They've told be about ten times.

30% of the students who apply for financial aid are chosen by the federal government for further examination.

Make sure you fill out the FAFSA for federal aid.

I can quote these things now.

yeah indeed your call is important that they have you on hold for that long. I guess a lot of people are calling in

If you have the time, just go in...I had some issues with them last summer and on two different occasions was on hold for at least 45 minutes each time and still had not got through and had to go somewhere...probably work....but i went in when i had some time and it was about 30 minutes later and everything was taken care of...

but then again that is not always the case because i know plenty of people that have waited over and hour when going in...so i guess its a lose/lose situation

Well, if you get your stuff straightened out before the week it is all due, there would be no problem. :wink:

You're able to talk to a representative online, sometimes that's faster.

this is true in most cases...but i have been told a week before classes start about issues with my financial aid...this being after I completed financial check in and everything was good to go on there....it ended up being a glitch on their end...but it took 3 days for them to figure that out...

what's funny is I got my stuff squared away in the spring. (Now I do have stories of when they tried to suspend my financial aid on three or four different occasions)

Well with 8 years of practice it should get easier and easier....

If it were possible to do that, don't you think I would've?

I could tell by your previous post that there were things outside of your control that forced you into this situation; I was just busting your chops.

they must have the T-Mobile customer support working on this. It took me at least 2 hours once to get them to fix the double charge and order for a new phone, guess they wanted me to own two cell phones.
