My schoo, has not gave me my F.A money what can I do?

Paying for College
1

<p>I’ve started since 17 August 2011 and I was estimated to receive part of my pell grant on the 21 which is today, but I log on to my debit card school website ans still states balance$0.00.
How am I supposed to do my homework and classwork when I don’t have money to buy my books. </p>

<p>Also I am new to this school and I don’t know anyone at all therefore I can’t share etc.
I’ve asked the FA office in my school and keep playing the game’It’s going to be there’.</p>

<p>Should I get out of college sue to no books and the financial aid lagging?
I’m scared to go back to school tomorrow and still not get my books.</p>

<p>Does your school have a book store? Can you charge your books to your bursars bill where FA will cover it? Many schools will allow this. Not the best thing as school book stores tend to be rather expensive, but if you don’t have the money to buy books elsewhere.</p>

<p>

I’m not sure what this means. If you are asking should you sue the school - no. You have no basis whatsoever on which to attempt to sue the school.</p>

<p>Sorry I meant to say ‘due’</p>

<p>and this is my schools book store :
[:</a> Buy Las Positas College Apparel, Textbooks, Gifts & Supplies:](<a href=“efollett”>efollett)</p>

<p>Oh good, that makes more sense. Go to school tomorrow and ask at the book store or FA dept handle getting books. I am sure they must deal with this all the time.</p>

<p>Since today is a Sunday, I’m not surprised that the money isn’t showing up today in your acct.</p>

<p>Is Las Positas your school? Ask them about this:
[Book</a> Loan Programs](<a href=“http://www.laspositascollege.edu/financialaid/bookloan.php]Book”>Book Loan Programs)</p>

<p>It says it is a short term loan for buying books which is then paid off with your FA money. Make sure you are speaking to an actual FA officer. Sometimes the front desk staff are helpers that don’t know all the answers. </p>

<p>In fact why not shoot off an email to the FA department now asking what you need to do to get your books - make it nice, very polite, explaining your situation and that you are not sure what you should do.</p>

<p>Did you have any type of summer job? You could have set some money aside, knowing you would need to buy books. All kinds of glitches can occur, and counting on money from FA to be there immediately was kind of naive given all kinds of possible computer problems, delays, human errors, processing time, etc.</p>
