transferring financial aid

Paying for College
1

<p>Hello</p>

<p>I went to a university for a semester, and on the second semester was suspended, and withdrew from all classes. The school asked me to fulfill certain requirements to come back next semester (I was not dismissed), and I have almost fulfilled them. However, at this moment, I am not enrolled at the university. </p>

<p>In order to come back, one of the requirements was that I complete a writing-intensive class at another university, and transferred the credit. So I found a class at a local university (in a different state).</p>

<p>I had aid for my old university for the 2010-2011 year. The old school does not consider me their student at this time, and because of this, in order to take the summer class, I have to apply to that new school, with application deadlines long passed, I will have to wait at least half a year to be accepted. On top of that, I think I can only get aid at one of the two institutions, I'd prefer it to be the old one.</p>

<p>I've contacted both their finaid departments and they've just confused me more. I've called this "transferring financial aid" because in an ideal case scenario, if I'm not a student of the old school, I can receive finaid for the new school, and then I hope when I come
back to the old school eventually, I can continue to get aid there. </p>

<p>Is this possible, any recommendations?</p>

<p>Since you are not a student at your original school, there is no aid to transfer. You are not a matriculated student ( accepted and working toward a degree) at School B, so you will most likely not be eligible for financial aid there either.</p>

<p>People take summer courses all of the time. Find out at the registrars office what you need to do in order to take a summer course (you do not have to apply to attend the school). As long as your original school approves the course so that it can cleanly transfer back there, you can simply register as a non-degree student. You take the course, pass the course and make sure you get an sealed official transcript to take back to your original school.</p>

<p>However, you will most likely have to pay for the class yourself.</p>
