FA was awarded unevenly... question.

@calmom- I don’t have any retail experience, but I am still going to apply early. I will look and see what I can come up with. Unfortunately, even last year around Christmastime, no one was hiring. Stores are lucky just to be open around these parts :/.

@swim- Thanks for finding that list. I will go to the FA office this week and see if I can get a COA increase. I am taking over the 14 or 15 credits or however my school defines it. That is why my costs are higher (it’s over $400 per credit hour). I talked to one of my friends last night who had a COA increase from MSU because of her illnesses. Her medical costs are astronomical so I don’t think I can get a medical COA increase, but I redid the math and I’m only falling about $800 short. If I could just get the COA to increase to cover my extra credits, then I’d be all set. If not, as I said before, I’ll just drop a class. It sucks, but hey you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

Thanks again everyone!
