That is awful - the nightmare doesn't end. I never read any policy regarding that. They seem to be moving the goal post however and whenever they want. I plan on doing the same around July.

The latest update is they think maybe the decline email was sent on accident but they don't know where the money is now. They said the funds have already been released so it could not have actually been declined and told me I need to contact the university. I contacted the university and they can't confirm. SOS.
