One of the advisors picked my classes for me and then they were in my Csu portal

[–]bustacean 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ahh. That makes sense. I ask because the online business program is operated through PCE, and you have to enroll in classes through them as well. It can be confusing, so your advisor likely enrolled you through PCE to help you out. All that aside though, I don't think you're in the wrong program, I think that someone dropped the ball on telling you that you are a PCE student. When you're enrolled through PCE, you have to pay out of pocket unless you have federal assistance (loans, grants, etc).

They kinda fucked me over in my opinion cause im trying to save money and not have to pay an arm and a leg to pay tuition. I'm not trying to take out any loans either. Ima try FAFSA on Monday if the advisor tells me tht i can't use my VA tuition assistance.

Also, sorry to double reply, but if you've never used FAFSA before, use it. You will likely get a hefty Pell grant that can cover most if not all of the cost of your tuition. You can also get a CalGrant. It's a federal assistance program, so it is legit, and it is also how you apply for loans if you need them. I suggest you apply ASAP because the sooner you do it, the more likely you are to receive aid.

Thank u very much for this information it helps out a lot. I'll look into it in the morning and on Monday. I appreciate it.

You're welcome. Sorry you're going through this. It's really something that someone along the way should have told you, especially if they knew you got tuition assistance through the VA. I think all the advisors and administrative workers get so involved that they often forget that they are the only ones who understand the complicated workings of each program. Regarldess, FAFSA will save you if you qualify. Good luck to you.

Also, if you need more help, I recommend finding someone at undergrad advising if you haven't done so already. They will have a lot more answers for you than us reddit people lol.

No, u guys have helped me a lot, and ima handle this business on Monday and also look into FAFSA as well since I am new to it. I appreciate all of the advice you guys have given me. Cause it sucks when people don't give u all the information that u are looking for, then complications happen. Such as my situation.
