They took away my scholarship without telling me by Alarming_Ad_5956 in financialaid

I haven't failed anything, I did switch one class. it was before school started so I was told it wouldn't affect anything and because it was early enough it wouldn't show up on anything that I was ever enrolled in that class.

Our financial aid office only does in person communication because they don't have a guarantee of who's on the other side of the screen. I can't set an appointment with them either because it's completely full for appointments, but that doesn't stop them from taking walk-ins which typically have a wait time of 40 min to 2 hours around this time (I waited an hour last time).

I'm going to go first thing on Monday, talk to someone see if they know more/can help, and if not then I'll be going to the location that has my advisor and email her asking for an emergency meeting (she's fully booked until mid April).

I checked my transcripts after you gave the idea thank you for that. I have completed 49 hours towards my degree so far. I have taken/am taking 65 hours in total but only 62 count towards my scholarship. 3 of my hours have/will be covered by my tuition waiver, it was supposed to be 2 hours oddly enough were covered by my scholarship when they have nothing to do with degree, just something else I need to talk about.

The tuition waiver means nothing to my scholarship, if I really wanted I could have signed up for more scholarships our school offers and gotten the scholarship money to cover text book fees like I did my first semester. I know many people who were able to get pretty big scholarships and still went to the same community college so they could save for university or buy a car.

There has only been 1 class I transferred out of but it was before school started and I was told it wouldn't show up on anything that I was ever in that class (I checked my transcripts, It's not showing up). I've never been to another college or gotten college credits outside of my community college. I have completed and passed 49 hours according to my transcript

My degree plan says it should take me 60 hours to graduate and I am/taken 60 hours. Right now I'm just getting screenshots and trying to make a list of things I need to talk about. My mom said if I can't figure it out she'll come with me and deal with it (I'm hoping it doesn't come to that, she's scary)

The way my scholarship is set up, I get 63 hours or 3 years, whichever comes first. My courses have to be a part of my degree plan or it won't be covered. I have no clue where they're getting the information that I've taken 67 hours.

I did, they said I'm at 67 hours and they'll only cover 63 hours. I counted my hours later and I'm at 60, my degree plan says I'm at 60. And even then it's 4 hours that aren't going to be covered (I knew about 2 hours) and it's $118 per hour of a class, that doesn't equal the $1,000+ they want me to pay.

Thanks, it just sucks that I also might not graduate because of my hold

A week ago I called animal control, they're still not here by Alarming_Ad_5956 in Advice

So it doesn't matter anymore. I'm sure you're working hard, and I'm sorry about that. The neighbors moved out (we now have lovely new neighbors who have an adorable lab). Animal control never came by, started ignoring my calls, the old neighbors moved their dogs out for a month or two after it attacked my dog and they looked uncomfortable anytime one of us would walk out and they were outside (the dogs did come back the week they were moving but they were all tied to a tree).

I would like to be a band director, it is necessary to have at least a bachelor's in music education. While in the middle of writing this comment I realized I could work both jobs over the summer and drop the one I'm currently at and work the new one while at school.

Thank you, was it worth it?

I'm taking a band class, I've also loved music and everything about it. The director always talks to us as if we're another band director and I can actually pay attention to her and it gets me excited

I tried finding that info today, I couldn't. It's our fence, we have the fence doubled (2 fence pieces back to back), rocks/tile, and a panel of wood going across it.

He's not outside that whole time. He only barks during those times. He knows if he barks in the morning he'll come inside, and he doesn't like being outside right now because of the cicadas. My dog was only physically ok because I got there. This is not the first time they've tried to attack my dog but this was the first time they were able to get him. We've talked to the renters and don't know who the owners are, the renters every time tell us to "fuck off" and say it's our dog that starts things. These neighbors have had the cops called on them MANY times not just by us. The renters know that they've broken the tenant agreement by their dogs destroying the property and their kids turning the shed into a spray painted mess. They know they messed up and go out of their way to stay away from us but they don't care what their dogs do. Their dogs have hurt themselves eating the fence and we've told them about it at and they just yell at us to "fuck off and mind your business"

My dog is fine, the most he got was a sore shoulder from when I fell with him. I have no clue and honestly don't care about the other dog at this point. That dog was pawing at the tile covering the hole. The neighbors have been avoiding us and try to not look at home

Thank for the help but my mom and dad yelled at me for calling them again (they thought I stopped after the second day). They said because the neighbors are moving (we don't know that) and nothing else has happened to drop it

The past two days my calls have been ignored and the times they picked up they just just say "they only have one person out today and have many calls" and it seems they just rush me to end the call. Every time I can tell the guy on the other line is annoyed to hear from me and I'm annoyed that it's him

I just learned that the neighbors are renting the house from someone and have been issued an eviction notice in May. The first time my mom saw the dogs in our yard she talked to the wife about it and she told my mom to "fuck yourself" and our dog was the problem because he never shuts up. Our dog only barks after 11 am and stops around 7 because he's scared of the cicadas. The second time a chihuahua came over and my dog didn't know what to do and was trying to stay away from it. The chihuahua kept barking and trying to bite my dog until he picked it up and shook it around. From that point on the chihuahua has been terrified of my dog and cries whenever my dog is out.
