[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, bumble-thumbs.

[quote][b]I thought when you accept the offer of admission (which normally happens when you pay the deposit), you are accepting the FA offer.[/b] They should not be able to change it after that point.

It's a contract. Please name the school. Really, why post on this site if you are not going to help other families with their decisions? [/quote]

That's usually the way it works, but I don't think OP has told us when her child accepted the offer of admission.  She said "DC has been at college for two weeks and financial aid award updated right around move in."

I am wondering if her DC accepted the offer of admission to this particular university relatively close to move-in time, and the financial aid award reflects that things changed over a relatively longer gap in time between offer and acceptance than would be typically expected.[/quote]

That sounds like a real possibility.  It would be great of Op would come back and clarify what happened.[/quote]
