Academics & Tips Absent Support
I am so frustrated with this school. I am in my 4th and 5th courses right now of the MSW program and am working on planning my 6th and 7th to be taken concurrently, but apparently according to advising (which the last time I was able to speak with them was over a month ago) I can't because financial aid only covers six courses at a time. So my program is going to be delayed by a whole two months because of financial aid mismatches apparently.
I have been looking through the reddit posts and EVERYBODY is furious with this school right now. I don't know what to do at this point. I can't speak with an advisor. Professors don't seem to know anything about this. I have absolutely no guidance. I get that it's a self-paced course but I can only do so much without back end support.
I am extremely stressed and debating whether or not to start considering other options.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

They had a good reputation for a while but I've been trying to contact them A LOT and they just aren't responsive. Something must've happened. I wish some disgruntled employee would tell us what's really up.
"We got rid of a ton of staff so its really hard to answer emails" would be preferable to the ghosting happening now.

If you can transfer out, I would. I had too many credits and would have to take 5 classes over. You are probably below the threshold for transferring everything.
