What can I do if I was given the wrong financial information?

I went to my financial aid office before summer term and I was told I qualified for loans by the employee there. I chose not to get one for the term, asked if intead I could apply for one for fall and said, sure. Now I go back and the financial aid office now says no. All of my grades are the same, my credit score is good and I'm still going for the same amount of credits. I'm just completely furious that they would give me misinformation. I'd file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau but I know that it wouldn't help. What can I do?|||some requirement in your eligibility has changed..

Go back to the financial aid office and ask to speak to the manager. Tell the manager about your situation. If you are not satisfied with the result, ask to speak to his/her supervisor, and so on. Go all the way up the chain of command until you reach the president of the college, if necessary.





Many of the so-called rules that govern financial aid are actually policies set by the college and not by the federal government. The manager of financial aid may be able to make an exception for you.
