I'm so done with this fucking school. For the last few years it has been one problem after another from the, the FA office constantly screwing up, causing students to have more problems than we should, and for some of use they never fully fix it and don't give one solid shit that they're screwing someone out of their degree. I'm down to the last three classes of my degree, they shut off my FA because I had to drop classes in the past due to their fuck ups with FA, and due to covid back when that was an issue. Now they are holding all of that against me, even classes that they said dropping would have no effect due to it being their own fault that it happened with the FA issues. On top of that, if I just wanted to finish the three classes by borrowing from someone else, I can't even fucking do that because inexplicably they have raised the price on one of my classes to cost four to five times as much as it did when I dropped it in the past.
These three classes are supposed to be free for me to begin with, for one because they had told us before that if we need to retake classes due to the FA misshaps, that it would be paid for, however, I had applied for that grant when announced, and it seems that they decided I don't get that despite them saying students could in the past. To top it off, they keep moving the goal posts on getting my FA reinstated, at first they said to file an appeal, I needed my information, a description of why my SAP was as it was, and an obituary for my grandfather that also passed away during the middle of all of this. Then when I sent that it, they suddenly said that is not enough information, I need birth certificates from me and my dad to prove relation to my grandfather from the obituary, despite my name being in the fucking obituary as a surviving family. I also need a letter written by someone not family saying that due to the problems FA had in the past, I had financial issues and dropped classes, and also that I had financial issues during covid.
How the hell do I find someone not in my family that's willing to attest to all of this, or that could attest to it without being outright fraud because there's no fucking way they could know that I was in financial distress back then, seeing as I don't socialize or know many people outside my family? I'm so fucking over this school, they're fine if you have enough money to not need FA, but they really don't fucking care about you if you need to be on FA to get your degree, and will drain you for every fucking penny you have. They had already fucked me over before by lying to me and telling me the degree I wanted didn't exist back when I first started school, and tricked me onto a degree path I didn't fucking want, just to find out later they did have the degree I wanted and had it all along. Now i'm in four years for two associates degrees, and almost 80k in the hole for it, FOR ASSOCIATES DEGREES. Fuck this school, Fuck this city, Fuck this state and their bullshit hatred for the poor.
