CC won't offer financial aid since I have a B.A

[wireless-101]

So I have a non-nursing B.A and the CC I was accepted to has denied me any financial aid because I have "too many units". Now I'm stuck, since I was counting on loans to get me through 2 years worth of living expenses in CA. I'm moving to a new city and will have to pay rent. I've appealed once and now I'm told I can appeal a second time. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I borrowed less than $7K for my first degree and have not applied for aid until now. I paid out of pocket for all my prereqs at various colleges. If I can't get any loans then I'll have to withdraw from the nursing program, which is frustrating. I have only been working part time the last 3 years, so it's likely I won't qualify for private loans and my parents can't help out. Any advice would be helpful.

Apply for a BSN-MSN program, you will be qualified for student loans. You are lucky you have the pre-req done. You can apply anywhere in the US. It will be more expensive but you will be able to pay for school through financial aid. Other option work to pay for school.

Good luck!!!

have you asked for a waiver? I had the same problem but they issue waivers for a few select majors like nursing. All I had to do was get a letter from my nursing director showing my prospective date of graduation and that was it!
