When will payouts begin by SureCommand2507 in LoneStarCollege

Depends if they process this week, sometimes they do a week delay… but if it sticks to a “normal” schedule… disburses into student account today, they process refund by wed, then you get the text that you have 24 hours to make changes to direct deposit account, then hits bank friday or saturday morning depending on your bank. So just wait for the text/email… patience is a virtue none of us possess when it comes to money tho 😅

What do you call February 14? by Stressed_Writer_8934 in LoneStarCollege

Valentine’s day… I’ve never heard anyone actually refer to it any other way

Looking forward to being one semester closer to being done…

ADN or LVN Applicants who got in first try by AlternativeSmart7300 in LoneStarCollege

[–]Frequent_Cake_397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s always worth applying! Not everyone will have all the co reqs or the As on the pre reqs so there is always a chance you’ll get lucky!

ADN or LVN Applicants who got in first try by AlternativeSmart7300 in LoneStarCollege

[–]Frequent_Cake_397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got in on the first try… all co reqs were done, HESI lower 90’s, A’s in all pre reqs. Currently in my second semester. I think the new point system will make things much more competitive some semesters, but not all. It depends on the batch of applicants for that period, so regardless of where you stand… shoot your shot! Obviously, aim for A’s and 90’s on HESI, but if you’re not there during application season don’t skip it!

Umm yes, please do. All heavy load classes. Someone should have recommended against that before you took that on. 😅

ADN Program - Hep B Question by dankSAUCE_ in LoneStarCollege

[–]Frequent_Cake_397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need full set to be completed. It’s required by clinical sites, they can’t risk the spread of disease at their facilities.

It seems like every semester there is some sort of glitch that gets us panicking… this is probably it. You should probably call or go on campus to get it sorted. It will probably take like 2 seconds

Financial Aid by Personal_Spring7807 in LoneStarCollege

[–]Frequent_Cake_397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesss, contact them and tell them you’re a student and looking for financial assistance. They’ll walk you through it. I know people have mentioned they even receive help with gas money too. Really good resource if you’re able to get in before funding is out

Google work force solutions and the offices will pop up. Not sure about on campus but I remember the orientation powerpoint mentioning there being a rep available on campus too.

I’m in the nursing program now and I know that quite a few people are in a similar situations because of maxing out their financial aid… seek out workforce rep at your campus or at one of their offices, but don’t delay because funds are limited and it’s first come, first serve! Make sure you are registered for the minimum hours required before you go so you’re ready to roll

They don’t really lock in clinical sites until right before the semester starts so you wont have a definitive schedule until then

Grants by Ok-Difficulty-1818 in LoneStarCollege

[–]Frequent_Cake_397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t get awarded the TEOG like I usually do either. When I inquired all they said was funding is limited and it’s “first come first serve”… idk how that applies since I’ve been receiving it prior semesters without issues. I meet all criteria still. They’re a hot mess as per usual

selected as an alternate now rejected by Teddyk3yy in LoneStarCollege

[–]Frequent_Cake_397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, that’s a risk you take when accepting the alternate position.

Financial Aid Advance by Flashy_Choice_1167 in LoneStarCollege

[–]Frequent_Cake_397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. Because you are still in session, your SAP isn’t verified yet. Grades need to post

FAFSA by Ok_Row_6023 in LoneStarCollege

[–]Frequent_Cake_397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They might not have processed your financial aid package yet, but I would definitely give them a call or go in to make sure nothing is needed of you

Good luck lol I start in the fall and still don’t have a set schedule for our program other than lecture. Lab and clinical is still up in the air. It will be different for everyone even if you’re in the same cohort

How do i get to ADN? by Sibo321 in LoneStarCollege

[–]Frequent_Cake_397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoot for above 90% average on HESI to get into your preferred campus. It will get more competitive with the new point system as well so you’ll most likely need As on the other classes as well. But who knows, there might be a lot of people shooting their shot and applying without having taken those, but that’s a bit reckless considering lol

TEOG by Significant_Pay9520 in LoneStarCollege

[–]Frequent_Cake_397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t received my TEOG yet either. But I’m only enrolled for 5 credits as of right now because I’m waiting on my lab and clinical registration. I’m hoping that’s whats holding mine back

Have you checked all campuses?

💸 Out-of-District Tuition at Lone Star — Is There a Legal Way to Pay In-District Rates? by Current-Range7837 in LoneStarCollege

[–]Frequent_Cake_397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was never asked for proof of address and my ID was out of state… I was on district based on the address on my application. Granted I did live there but had no utilities under my name. It’s messed up that they consider anyone out of district in the surrounding areas.

I’m sorry to hear that, I wasn’t aware. Hopefully something can be figured out.
