When did you take those courses where you got D grades?
You are giving us information in dribs and drabs which is NOT helping us answer your questions…at all.
For your last term…when you got the D. Were you a FULL time student taking and completing 12 credits or more…no dropped courses?
Correct.
As requested upstream, please summarize your issue. Your one word responses are NOT making it possible for folks to give you worthwhile advice.
I was a full time student. I would take 1 course for 5 weeks then on to the next course. I was considered a full-time student because each course was 3 credits. The courses were $1200 each and were paid in full. I would get a check for whatever was left over from my grants. I never received a bill for $7500. After talking via telephobe with my Academic Advisor and the Financial Aid office at this institution because I failed those 3 courses I now owed the college $7500.
Yes my credits will transfer
How much in loans did you take out?
$9000 in loans and they are in deferrment
How much did you take in loans your final YEAR at this online college.
Were these all federally funded loans? Are you over 24 and independent for financial aid purposes?
Is $9000 loans for ONE year?
What was the cost of attendance at your online college?
I attended from March 2015- August 2016. The $9000 is for the entire time that I attended.
Yes they are federal loans and yes I am over 24 and an independent student
Attendance per course was $1200
When does a D-grade count as a “failed” course for financial purposes? I do understand that at some universities, I grade less than a C would be unacceptable for ones major, but does this impact ones financial aid?
Also, if the cost for each 3-credit course is $1,200, shouldn’t the total debt owed to the school be of the order of $3,600 for the three course (2-Ds and 1-F)? Why $7,500?
That’s exactly what I’ve been trying to understand from them.
Could there be late fees involved since the course ended in August of 2016?
All these numbers don’t really make sense. 10 courses at $1200 each would be $12000. With $9000 in loans, that leaves $3000. So even with NO Pell, that doesn’t leave the OP owing $7500 to the college. I would go there and ask for a full statement from start to finish of everything that was billed and everything that was paid.
Were you ever paid in full for your last semester at this school? If so, it sounds like aid was withdrawn retroactively. In that case, the only thing that I can think of is maybe you didn’t meet SAP requirements - but they didn’t catch it until after the semester aid was already on your account. They would have had to remove it at that point. My recommendation is to talk to a financial aid manager. They should be able to outline exactly what happened and why, and you should insist that they send the explanation to you in writing. Then come back here to let us know what they had to say.
A final thought: You say you completely withdrew from the school. Had you already registered for other classes, then withdrew? Sometimes that can have an effect on aid (clock hour/module schools have funky rules - although I don’t know if your program is clock hour or is in modules). Or did you register & then not attend? In that case, it’s possible you didn’t formally drop your classes when you decided not to return.
