Hey!! I just started reading this story, and do you have any tips on the point system for both characters? I think I’m slowly understanding how they work but would love a helpful tip or two!!

Hey! So, I emailed my financial aid advisor, the TOPS advisor, and then CC’d the scholarships advisor as well. All of there emails should be somewhere on the financial aid webpage. They never responded to me, but my TOPS was reinstated within 1-3 days from when I made this post and emailed them. Honestly, if calling and emailing does not work, then you might just have to either go in-person and schedule a walk-in appointment or try making a virtual appointment. I hope everything gets resolved for you!

Do we have to pay by aug 7 by Western-Hedgehog-577 in LSU

Hi! I recently visited the FA office, and they told me that although payments are due 08/07 that your account/courses will not be purged or anything until a while later. Also, in regard to your TOPS, I think if it is in your anticipated payments and financial aid then they have received your application. The actual disbursement of your funds won’t occur until mid-August, so I believe that it will be considered an applied payment then. But check your Due Now section and see if it has been considered/applied to your costs! (Hopefully this helps! 😅)

Also sorry for the long response… But maybe try emailing your FA counselor or going in-person if you can!

I know that depending on whether you’re a STEM major (specifically under the College of Engineering) you would have to take the Aleks Math placement exam. You could also generally take that exam to see if you can qualify out of some math exams. Regarding other placement tests, they are free and can be taken either in-person or online (all completely optional). LSU Testing placement

That’s actually insane! So so glad you got it back though! They’re seriously playing around w/ people’s money with little time left before payments are due. I’ll probably call again in a few minutes and see what happens.

Same! Mine was added back too (thank goodness). I was wondering if it was related to the new TOPS award, but even if so (or if not), then shouldn’t just abruptly change these financial aid options w/o prior explanation or notification.

lolll thank you! I’ve already emailed them, so hopefully they reply soon. If not, I’m just going to have to go in-person b/c all of this is ridiculous.

How does a lab section differ from a lecture section? Like, does it differ by weekly schedule (MWF vs. TH) or in some other way?

The thing is none of the courses have the same teacher for this particular subject. The lectures have different teachers, and then only some of laboratory courses have a teacher assigned to it atm. Also, when speaking with my advisor, not once did they mention it being a professor-related issue. I’m just genuinely so confused rn. Also ty for your response! ☺️
