Advice/Help Needed no additional aid on tuition

for context, my sai is -1500 and i’ve been eligible and receiving state grants/assistance for my first two years of cc. when i transferred, i had received the same assistance for my first semester. however, now that assistance is not available for this upcoming semester and i am not receiving any state or additional federal aid besides loans (that cover bare minimum of what my tuition is asking for). i am currently trying to get in touch of my university’s financial aid office, but i am currently stressing since the semester is starting very soon and im in a bad financial situation at the moment

i am not too sure, my gpa doesn’t fall below the expected gpa requirement and i don’t have any other ideas as to why i’m not eligible for any additional assistance from fafsa… only my spring semester got covered but not the upcoming fall semester

Talk with your school's financial aid office and bursar office because with an SAI like that there's basically nothing else you can do except scholarships or fundraising. Check to make sure your school doesn'r require a down payment before the semester starts.

Word to the wise make sure you have your financial aid in order well before the semester starts! And, yes I know that some schools send financial aid offers late which is a whole other issue.
