[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is a freshman. First generation. No change in grades or behavior. The previous letters do all have * disclaimer language that things can change this is estimate . . .

Haven’t called yet. We have no leverage and I feel like they’re going to be like that post above. “No . . . again, no . . .”[/quote]

So you've known about this for at least two weeks and haven't bothered to make a single phone calls to understand what happened?[/quote]

No, we only noticed yesterday because DC received an emailed about work study process. Went back and checked award history and a change occurred about 2 weeks ago. [/quote]

A change like that would typically trigger an email notification. Are you certain your son didn't receive such an email, perhaps one he overlooked?[/quote]

A significant change like that should be followed up by a letter sent directly to the student.  I can't imagine a school sending an "Oh, btw.." email about something so important right at the start of school when there is already so much to adapt to.

I would think that if the kid needs to get an on campus job OR not accept his scholarship money that should be spelled out in no uncertain terms before the start of the first semester.  Something doesn't sound right.[/quote]
