Hi,i came to the U.S 2 months ago as a legal immigrant and i’ve just applied to an community college for fall semester and i’ve also applied for Financial aid,but there’re some problems with my paper work in my country and i have to wait until September 10 to get my highschool diploma,i’m sure that i gratuated from highschool but if it’s too late to register to class can i wait till spring semester to start?, and if i do that will it affects my financial aid eligibity if my application is accepted?Can i save financial aid money for spring semester or do i have to use it now?I kinda want to wait until spring because i want to wait until everything is settled down and i want to improve my English before go to college.Thank you!
Financial aid is usually awarded for the year, but split into semesters or quarters. Look at your award and see if 1/2 is for spring. You may also be able to use some that was awarded for fall in the spring, but you’ll have to check with your college for that information.
thank you for your answer.
