<p>The short answer is no. If you are unhappy with your financial aid, first try working with the FA office. At the end of the day, no school is going to make you attend and you are always free to go where your money will take you. This is not a wise threat because at the end of the day it will be you out in the cold without a school to attend. In addition, depending on when you withdraw from school, you may still end up owing the school money.</p>

<p>I see on another thread that you applied for aid late, and apparently didn’t get as much as you needed. It’s unfortunate, but not their fault. The foot-stomping method is unlikely to help with the situation and will demonstrate immaturity and a lack of responsibility on your part. If you can’t afford to enroll for fall, I would ask about a deferral. Perhaps they will be able to award you better freshman aid in the following year if you complete the FA paperwork/requirements on time then. In the meantime, you could take a few classes if you have a local college - just don’t jeapordize your freshman status by accumulating more than 30 hours without checking with the school first. Your only other choices are to go to a cheaper school and transfer later or take massive loans (definitely not recommended).</p>

<p>Make sure you take whatever steps are necessary to resign from classes, cancel your enrollment, etc. before school starts. As sybbie said, you don’t want to end up with a bill for a school you didn’t attend - and it can happen!</p>

<p>Follow sk8rmom’s advice. Ultimatums are not an effective appeal. And if you applied too late, you will not have a strong negotiating position.</p>

<p>The point made regarding withdrawing from classes is extremely important. You will need to officially withdraw if you decide not to attend. You can end up owing for the entire semester if you do not, depending on your school’s policies. Where I work, students who do not attend any classes will still owe 100% of tuition if they do not bother to withdraw officially. This is spelled out in no uncertain terms when they register for classes, and they even have to check off a box that says they read & understand.</p>
