I’m very fortunate to have had my undergraduate paid for by my parents, so for my Masters program, I’m very new to the whole FASFA program and student aid in general. I submitted my FAFSA and accepted the offer from Temple, but I think because of the Big Beautiful Bill, I won’t receive the disbursement of funds until like halfway through the semester (I’m a part time student). Can someone confirm this or give me guidance? I’ve went to SFS and it hasn’t been really all that helpful.

Hello, I’m looking to get my doctorate in Urban Ed. At Temple but I’m wanting to hear others experience with this program? Particularly, how the comprehensive exams are? And what the dissertation process looks like.

This is the third time I’ve dropped an Arts GenEd within a second of reading the syllabus. Two art-focused courses and one music course. They are so incredibly demanding, more so than any other GenEd I’ve ever taken. Luckily I was able to jump into a Science and Technology course, leaving me with only the Arts GenEd left to fulfill. Has anyone taken a chill Arts GenEd that wasn’t requiring nonstop writing and projects? Let me know!

Who do I escalate an issue with sfs to?

Emailed sfs like three times and been fully ignored. From spring semester I had a refund they didn't send me then expired then when I set up the direct deposit I never got it. Emailed and never heard back. Still have gotten nothing. Now I'm having more problems with accepting my aid offers and them reviewing my documents wrong and I emailed them like a week ago and again heard nothing back. It generates a ticket then nobody reaches out to be and there's no updates to it. I'm PISSED. Clearly emailing the office does absolutely nothing. Help please

okay so im a sophomore and ive been struggling really badly with my mental health. ive been depressed pretty much all summer and wasnt able to get out of it before school started. we have been in school for over a week now and i havent gone to a single class because i can barely get myself out of bed. im diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and adhd, and my mom doesnt even know how bad things have gotten. i have a good gpa and im really scared of ruining it by continuing to miss class. i still have time to drop my classes, so im considering taking a leave of absence for my mental health. i also dont want to waste all the money on a semester if im not even going to class. has anyone taken a leave of absence because of their mental health? is that something colleges generally allow? and do you think it would be better to take time off instead of forcing myself through the semester when im struggling this badly? im also really scared of disappointing my family, but i honestly dont know what the right decision is. any advice would be really appreciated, especially from anyone whos been in a similar situation.
