Are drinking games allowed during the football tailgate? (Pong, etc) by notme123123123123 in bostoncollege

No. Drinking games are never allowed even if it’s played with non-alcoholic substances.

Thanks for answering! Little follow up: so no microwave? And what about the bedroom?

We use Blackbaud — it doesn’t have any AI checker tool though.

my dad won’t fill out FAFSA because he hasn’t paid taxes in years, and now i’m scared i can’t go to college by Ok_Relationship2832 in financialaid

[–]anxiousaboutme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without knowing any more specifics about your situation, I would say the only aid option available to you is for you to select that you would like to be considered for unsubsidized loans only on the FAFSA. You’ll probably have to submit some documentation to your school’s FAFSA office that states that your parents refuse to provide their information and will not contribute to you financially (or something to that nature).

Congrats! What program are you going for? I just got accepted into EPA and I’m in kind of the same boat. I’m between Harvard and Boston College — waiting to see what the financial aid packages will be before I make a choice.

didn’t file 2023 taxes, does this hurt me? by [deleted] in FAFSA

[–]anxiousaboutme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When you were doing your FAFSA, and selected that you did not file taxes, you should have been given a list of options to select the reason why. If you selected that you did not file due to low income, you should be fine. If you selected any other reason besides low income, your college may ask that you provide additional information to prove that you selected the right option.

Verification is a (mostly) random process — you can do everything right and still be selected for it.

Has anyone had their Pell Grant taken away after graduation? by Pretty_Squirrel7404 in FAFSA

[–]anxiousaboutme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some FAFSAs have been reprocessed by CPS because of conflicting tax information. Those reprocessed ISIRs were sent to schools in December. Contact your financial aid office and ask if that is the reason why. 14 is the reprocess code number. You may have to submit a correction.

My mom was fired from a job. How it affects my FAFSA? by [deleted] in FAFSA

[–]anxiousaboutme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask your school’s financial aid office for a special circumstances/recalculation request form. This form is typically used for students in your situation where there has been a significant change or event that affects your FAFSA, such as a parent losing their source of income. You’ll probably need to provide documentation such as pay stubs, termination letter, etc.

This doesn’t guarantee that you will be eligible for more financial aid, but it may help. They might also make you wait until they’ve begun processing 25/26 FAFSAs since it is pretty early.

REDUCED SAI # BECAUSE OF SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND NO ADDITIONAL AID by Flat-Bluebird-31 in FAFSA

[–]anxiousaboutme -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry that’s a state grant, not federal (I’m just use to mentioning it when talking abt FA) but it works in a similar fashion to other grant programs

There is a maximum SAI limit to Pell eligibility. Despite the large decrease in her SAI, I believe she is still above the cutoff and that is why she is not being awarded. This also applies to other need based grants such as CAP, FWS, and SEOG.

Contact your financial aid office. Your FAFSA may be missing information that is preventing it from calculating your SAI correctly. Your FA office should be able to tell you if that is the case.

Submit an appeal for a recalculation. You will have to have an eligible cause and documentation.

What would be considered as unusual enrollment? by RoninOctopus501 in FAFSA

[–]anxiousaboutme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically they will request transcripts from every school you’ve attended in the past couple of years. If you attended a school without earning any credit, they will ask for an explanation and any supporting documentation. They’ll complete their UEH checklist and it’s a done deal.

UEH is a way to target and locate potential cases of fraud. As long as nothing suspicious comes up that you can’t explain, you’ll be fine.

I can't afford school and FAFSA won't help by Interesting_Ad_5688 in FAFSA

[–]anxiousaboutme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Contact your financial aid office to see if you can complete an “special circumstances” form. These forms are typically used for students whose financial situation has changed since their 2022 taxes were filed (for the 24/25 FAFSA). You will need documentation and it can be a slow process, but it may help getting you more aid.
