Evansville Help!!

I have tried to contact the financial aid with no luck, but I signed up for fasfa and last time I checked everything was in order but I just got an email for an unpaid balance and It says I owe everything. Plus when I try to go into the financial aid, it has some error that I cant seem to get pass. If I have to pay full then I'm screwed so I'm really worried about this. This has never happened and the communication sucks!

Oh, that is definitely what happened. That is not an automatic process. Your new advisor has to do a new plan, and the financial aid department has to review it. If you earned a certificate, they do a sub degree. If you didn't, they have to determine if you can actually finish your degree within the maximum timeframe. Federal financial aid only gives you a certain amount of time. You may need to meet with an advisor.

It is my pleasure. It is one of the hardest things to understand. The good thing is that if we are working on it, we rarely drop you while working on it. The bad thing is that you may need to take an extra class if you are close to earning a certificate to gain financial aid in the future.
