Do I have to have financial aid money to register for classes first?
Question Posted Saturday January 26 2013, 11:32 pm
I did my fafsa a few days ago and I saw my advisor and he told me to register for classes. So I registered for a class and the next day it was dropped. Does that count on transcript? Do I have to wait for my financial aid to come in to register for classes?

So do I have to wait on financial aid?. Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?

What they likely haven't told you assuming you knew is that you had to put a fee deferral deposit down to hold your spot in all your courses until financial aid cut you a check. Check in with them, the head person for your program and your campus for help. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

If your adviser suggested you to register for classes I would do that. You don't want to wait till all the classes you need are filled.
