Anyone else having trouble with my clinical exchange?

I was having trouble with it saving my password and not letting me reset it. which was weird because I save that stuff on my keychain on my computer. tech support called me and got me straightened out≥

Did you get accepted!? And I have no idea where to even start? I don’t know what books we will need or supplies. I’m just waiting for orientation. Or does anyone have a list or know what we will need?

You can find the books on the bookstore website, as far as scrubs and all that, not sure. Waiting on orientation for that. Just use the hyperlink on the osuokc website to go to the bookstore and search for your section's textbooks! I think its 530 if you buy everything new, which I'm not sure if we need to or not.

Yes one of my classmates said Amazon has them cheaper but they don't have the electronic code. Not sure if we will need it or not, I didn't know the book store price matches! ....hello everyone I also got accepted Wednesday!

I don’t even know if I will be awarded fasfa but I wonder if we could use that for our books? I also have my tribal money I’m being awarded so I wonder if I’ll be able to use that for books or do I need to pay the $530 out of pocket..... is anyone applying for fasfa?

JustNCase1006 · Jul 11, 2020

I asked financial aid if we can use FAFSA overages for books this semester (it's been a thing at OSUOKC, but they changed bookstore operators) and they said it will be an option. Just waiting to see when that will come about. But yes, you will be able to use excess financial aid for bookstore purchases.

Make sure to keep an eye on OSUOKC's financial aid page for information regarding a start date for using it for bookstore purchases. They always list a date for it.

Do you already know an amount you are awarded? I know nothing. I’ve called and asked was told they would know the week before or the week after classes started... which doesn’t help me because I’m trying to buy my books. I might just buy it out of pocket. If you see anything let me know please.

It depends on a lot of factors. Where are you in the FAFSA process? If it has already been approved and sent to the school, make sure you stay on their butts over there at the financial aid office. There were a few times that first semester where I had to call in because they were WAY behind on the timeline they gave me just to find out that it had pretty much fallen to the side. But also be patient with them, they ARE good people that are just trying to help. Now, it also depends on what type of aid you are talking about. Pell grants only go to those that qualify, and go up to around 6000 depending on how much taxable income you reported. Loans are of two types... subsidized and unsubsidized. I myself try to only take subsidized amounts so that I'm not paying interest while I'm going to school. those amounts are usually fixed, but you can always take less than the offered amount on those. The Pell grants are always automatically accepted on your behalf and do not need to be repayed. Please let me know if I addressed your concern, or completely missed the mark! Hope it helps.
