Yeah, VA money and GI Bill money should all be invisible to financial aid. Double dip as much as you can. And if you get work study, triple dip and do homework while getting paid.

So the VA is over 3 weeks late in paying my school. In turn, the school is holding onto some money that I kinda need due to some unforeseen circumstances. Now I don't remember if it was here or somewhere else, but I'm trying to find a web link that had an online submission form to somewhere in the VA where you get a response relatively quickly. I've used it before when the VA got hung up and it worked. Anybody know what I'm talking about? edit: got it, it was the GI Bill customer help page, under Ask a Question https://gibill.custhelp.com/app/home shyduck fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Jul 18, 2017 |

tastefully arranged labia posted:I still wonder if I'm stunting myself by not pursuing a masters. I mean I'm already 30 and don't feel like taking out loans for a piece of paper. I'm starting a dual masters program in mid September at 35. Kinda figured it would take me three years and I wouldn't be done till 38. It really just means I'm going to interrupt my sitting around and drinking with classes so what's the big deal?

Can someone with the knowledge please summarize the effects of the Harry W. Colmery Veterans Education Assistance Act of 2017. I'm getting bogged down in the full-text other than they are getting rid of the use within 15 years of EAOS bit. Which owns. There's some STEM bonus financing stuff too.

Since I'm currently planning for the possible contingency that I may not get a job here, I'm firesaling all my poo poo at the moment, and since my plan on getting every cent for graduation attire reimbursed backfired due to a technicality and some red-tape, I tried to recover some of the cash I paid for all the dumb bling-bling I was coasting about in this very thread. One of my attempts at a sale took me to the local selling group on Facebook, where a shitton of stuff gets turned around with no questions asked. (just kidding, a lot of dumb questions asked) As the total retail value of all my dumb graduation bling, including cap & gown, was something around 250 bucks, I figured I'd ask for 75$ I also assumed I wouldn't score the 75$ due to the time of the sale, and was prepared to haggle that poo poo down to 50 or something like that, so I thought I'd write it up with a modicum of humor/sarcarsm, as is quite common there. This is the post. quote:Once in a lifetime opportunity here, folks. (No, seriously, you'll only need this once)  No big deal, right? Take it or leave it. Pretty run-of-the mill-deal. Nope. I am a DISGRACE  /ninjaedit: Oh, also:  Good people prevail Duzzy Funlop fucked around with this message at 04:46 on Jul 26, 2017 |

That person is a stuffy idiot and the very reason why academia blows donkey balls. You can quote me on that. You can tell them that Something Awful Forums User Naked Bear said that they love donkey balls.

Relax, friend, none of this was actually happening, nor was I pretending that it might happen in the future. Soulex posted:My grandpa was a professor at NAU. Which campus? Flagstaff? Well, was it Flagstaff? It's not something that would be too obscure, since 95% of lecture positions are in the Flagstaff "Mountain Campus", while there are legally some locations in Prescott, and some in "Paradise Valley" (lol, it's loving Phoenix, enjoy wearing asbestos condoms).

How's rent over there right now? It's been on a list of "places to retire" and now that I might get IU, I'm looking at other places once I get my degree that I can buy a house, plant some weed, and just raise my kids.

Duzzy Funlop posted:Does this make us academibillibuddies? Ugh I'm currently in the market for a cap and gown for the spring when I graduate. I'll be going to grad school immediately after. None of my family lives here and I don't care if they come or not. I'm considering skipping it all together but I will be the first person in my family to get a four year degree and I didn't even graduate high school so I figure I might as well waste an afternoon. That said I'm not paying full price for a cap and gown. gently caress that

Like in addition to being full time? Does the cost at your school.scale up after full time? They would just let us stack extra credits on as long as we had a full course load that was intended for our degree progression when I was at Tulane / CU

I don't know if this has been discussed, but anyone looking into getting a professional certification should check out VCTP offered by Syracuse University. They'll pay for the exam voucher of one certification offered through the program. You have to do skillsoft bullshit but you can breeze through most of it and spend the rest of the time learning from proper study books. I did it and they're paying for my CEHv9 exam, which is $950 and lol if i'm gonna pay that myself.

I'm not sure what your family income status is currently but Pell Grants are your best bet. I'm not sure how Need Based scholarships tabulate attending on Voc Rehab but I imagine it's not great. There are a whole bunch of merit based scholarships you could apply for, and your financial aid office should have a whole list that you could ask them for. Many allow you to apply with a general application + the occasional extra essay. Your financial aid office should have all that info and the application window is usually around the end of the calendar year. You could also look into just sitting in on a class? If you don't need the credit you might just try approaching a professor or two with classes that you are interested in and explaining your situation. Interest in a subject is more than most of their students are gonna demonstrate typically. Kawasaki Nun fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Jul 27, 2017 |

Holy poo poo was I worrying about nothing, this class should be "Math For Retards (And Healthcare Professions)" instead of, "Functional Algebra & Trig". Barring me having a fit of the 'tards and making GBS threads the bed with this test tomorrow, that is.

Can you switch your minor so whatever you want to take would be in your degree plan? I switched my minor three or four times so I could pad my credits with mostly online intro level classes.

No but you can apply to have your Voc Rehab time extended iirc . Since becoming a CPA is a fairly well understood academic track I wouldn't be surprised if they were willing to work with you on the Masters which most CPAs need, right?

You need 150 education hours with a certain number of accounting credits. A bachelors is 132 and comes up a few classes short of the accounting requirement to sit for the CPA. So while there are ways around getting a masters, it's the most common and expected route to get the reqs.

If you're already rated at 20% the process for getting Voc Rehab is pretty simple and they'll pay for those credits / prep courses / whatever as long as they agree to becoming a CPA as a viable career path. And how the gently caress couldn't they?
