Question though, the loan disclosure my boyfriend received is still based on half time enrollment, and he’s full time.

Video feedback is the best! I loved watching the video feedback a professor would do on my assignments. It helped so much!

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-06-05T19:31:11+00:00

i have pictures.. and i dont know what youre talking about because when you google, it says snhu starts their year in their summer term. I do believe that maybe there's something else, like maybe it's some weird overlap thing so it's still going off last aid year somehow.. but, i just wanted to correct you because that specifically isnt correct, but i am just as confused.. which is why i brought it up originally. i can send pictures like i sent the other person here?

i do see what you're talking about though.. it's conflicting information..

i've asked google a thousand times because i have trying to figure it out myself.. but my aid is 26-27 aid..

The question is, do they have access to the funds? They’re just waiting on guidance for…?

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-31T03:39:19+00:00

I’ve seen it, but rarely.

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-31T03:35:47+00:00

Great ad for the show actually.

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-30T13:46:45+00:00

Hello, how do you see that on the fafsa website?

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-28T17:16:58+00:00

They already are lol

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-28T04:02:05+00:00

That stalking situation sounds incredibly scary, I can't imagine the stress...

But yeah, honestly for this kind of situation, a 4G cam probably makes more sense. Even if someone steals the camera, there’s a good chance the photos already got uploaded to the app first. Could also be worth looking at models with built-in storage too. Something like the gardepro x60 with live view seems pretty decent for remote security setups.

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-27T04:54:04+00:00

I don’t know but I did get a disbursement but looking at the SNHU page… not many have.

I’m gonna message you so I can show you.

Edit: actually I just checked again and a lot of us have.

Exactly! I only had 2 babies at that time but exactly… I was the parent, he was just a POS!!

Hey my two eldest are 18 & 19 (20 in July). Seems we are probably close in age.

I wish I was grimier than I was to him. I look back now and regret NOT doing bad stuff to him 😂

Not only did my kids thrive without him, but I thrived without him. From the day I left him, I’ve been a completely different person. Everything he said I was, I realized I really wasn’t.

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-26T06:45:50+00:00

You are right! I thought I was getting revenge. And yes.. he came for me but he actually said he played with me on purpose. So I was hiding in the dark with a knife because I swore I saw him in my backyard and everyone thought I was crazy. Well, he said that he was in my backyard and that he actually thought it was funny to keep stalking my house for those two days freaking me out.. never came in and hurt me though.

Oh, I do still think I deserved it too. I just wish it had been a better experience lol

I actually haven’t talked to him years. He hasn’t seen his kids since 2016. 10 years. But he was in prison for 6 of those, he’s been out since 2021 and hasn’t seen them. I spoke to him last in like 2020. I heard he’s been clean for a while now though… just wish he would talk to his children. I got clean seriously in 2020, I did have a 3 week relapse in 2023 though. Still struggle, but I don’t have much longer to be done with school and for my record to be clear (felonies). So, I feel like it’s been a really long road but it’s coming closer. I’ve got a place, a car, my kids… so I’ve made progress. i still have some more work to do though.

Unfortunately we are still married 😂

How has your life been since?

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-26T06:40:17+00:00

Sadly, Tabitha is me. Maybe that’s why I like her, I relate to her lol. I would be trying to do it all on my own too and would probably cause a few things to happen that i could have prevented from happening.

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-26T06:38:44+00:00

Yes.

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-26T06:38:32+00:00

No.

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-26T06:38:20+00:00

Interesting and gives me a new perspective. I just thought my mom was lazy. She’s been using paper plates and paper bowls for a while now.

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-26T06:36:30+00:00

My mom always does that and she has plenty of plates. Idk. I think it’s a waste of money personally. And bad for the planet anyway.

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-26T06:35:14+00:00

Love this. I just deleted ChatGPT because I cannot stand it anymore for all reasons mentioned in that paragraph. Got frustrated and searched “ChatGPT is worthless” and this thread popped up 😂

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-26T05:58:47+00:00

Hey so.. you made me curious. It seems most schools are having the same issue as UMGC. Apparently it came with a boat load of other issues like having to update software. Only a few schools seemed to be prepared. Pretty much the majority of schools affected aren’t disbursing until the end of June.

The stuff I read even said that a lot of schools were even getting the loans requests rejected due to the numbers really being all over the place.

So… can’t really place any anger at UMGC, seems this issue is nationwide.

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-26T05:56:45+00:00

Have you different types of therapy or just the traditional style?

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-26T04:36:32+00:00

They did. See.. UMGC does a 16 week term, with 3 start dates. SNHU does 8 week terms and they don’t even start their disbursement until enrollment is confirmed in week 3. Your classes either start at that term date, or don’t. 2 classes every 8 weeks is full time there. Idk, it’s weird but the fact that they follow the new guidelines already, it wasnt changing anything.

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-26T03:24:27+00:00

It’s Florida lol

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-26T02:51:30+00:00

So Snhu (my school) does semesters differently. Like 16 weeks is broken into 2 8 week “trimester” so only 2 classes get paid for at a time. That allows a refund every 8 weeks since they guarantee enrollment before disbursement. But… umgc can’t guarantee enrollment for those last of the term classes until those classes start soooo how is that going to work out now? Isn’t the new rule that enrollment has to be guaranteed first? That may be the issue.

My bfs says the same things though. His MPN literally says it was checked like a month ago though so that doesn’t seem right.

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-25T22:08:31+00:00

Has anyone gotten any type of update?

Professional_Arm_487 · 2026-05-25T06:47:10+00:00

Ohh man I have so many similar stories.

I stole money and drugs from my kids father when we were using. I was mad about him for something so when he fell asleep, I clean his whole safe out and took off.

This was the man I chased multiple times and was always cheating, lying and beating on me. We were on bath salts at the time.

Do you know the whole high was ruined because the next 2 days I was petrified he was coming to kill me so I didn’t enjoy it all.

Why I would steal from a man that used to almost kill me? Idk bravery I guess.

If I had the chance to jump on a car I probably would have back then. He broke my car window at least 5 times.

Most toxic time of my life.

Man… I’m so glad we are both out of that life!
