   I just hope they start communicating with our schools soon. I would hate to have to deal with late fees and I'm waiting to purchase my books. A formal award letter would be nice. Hoping for some good news and movement :).

    My status has not changed in the portal. I will definitely post if anything changes. Classes start September 23 for me, I don't think I'm going to take out a loan because my bill doesn't need to be paid until September 10.
