<p>At our request, my son's school reviewed updated income data for the 2012-13 year and "corrected" our FAFSA to show lower income and much lower EFC than originally reported by us on the FAFSA. The FA counselor told us to go home and "web accept" the new loans and all would be fine. It wasn't. The school dropped my son's fall registration based on non-payment. In previous semesters, he also had loans from the Feds, and when he web accepted them, it signaled to the school that he would have adequate financial aid to cover his registration and everything was okay. Why did this happen now? Do I have to change the FAFSA I filed to match the school's corrected one? I went to his school's FA people and they couldn't figure out why his registration had been dropped. They pushed it off on my son telling him that it's his fault because he's taking courses that aren't required for his major. (He's about to change from an AA to an AS). That makes no sense. The Feds will give Stafford loans if you have no major at all. The FA people are simply clueless. Is there something about Banner that's messing this up? My son is trying to graduate after the fall and then transfer to a 4 year school to finish his degree. Could someone please help? Thanks.</p>
<p>I would repost this in the Financial Aid threads. The expertise over there is amazing.</p>
