Here's a Celica GTU for your troubles.

On to my rant. I'm going back to school (missed the last two quarters because of work), and the new quarter starts today. I'm using my GI Bill, and I'm taking 15 credits this Quarter in order to accomplish two things; knock out this degree ASAP, and get full housing allowance.

I got an email about 2 hours ago stating that one of my classes was changing from an in-residence course, to a Hybrid course (meet once a week with the majority of class online). In order to get the full housing allowance, I need at least 1 in-residence course, and a full time credit load. That e-mail makes me have 3 Hybrid courses, and no other in-residence classes on my degree audit that I can switch to without conflicting with my current classes. Here's to losing out on a big chunk of money.

First off, nice Celica!

Secondly, I'm sorry. If I were rich, a check would be wrote out in your name and on it's way. Damn, school can be a serious headache sometimes!

There has to be some kind of form or appeal you can write up to explain these stuff to whomever is issuing your GI bill., or to the college's own financial aid.

I immediately called the VA Benefits person at the school. All of the GI Bill funding is based off of the course code of the class. Since this one is changing (the school is changing it, not me), that's what they're going by.

Go directly to the dean's office of whatever that department is.

I assume you've got proof that the course code changed after you registered?

Dukie, is it Post 9/11 or Montgomery GI Bill?

And out of curiosity, what service were you in?

Post 9/11.

I was a Ranger.

A Chairforce Ranger.

(But seriously, I was in the Air Force.)

Yep, got the e-mail yesterday and had all my paperwork turned in last week.
