OSU-OKC Fall 20

Published

I was just wondering if anyone was applying for Osu Okc nursing program for the fall of this year. I know its a lot of stuff going on right now with Covid-19 and schools closing and wondering if that's going to affect nursing programs going forward.

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.

The timeline they gave you sounds like the disbursement period for excess money. You should be able to use overages to buy textbooks before that period, depending on when financial aid opens the option at the bookstore. I'll let everyone know when the window opens if I see it before you all do!

So if im going to try and get financial aid do I do that online or do I need to talk to someone at the school first

Have you been to the FAFSA.gov website? That will be your first step, make sure you have your tax information from 2018 to fill out the forms. If you have never filed before, you will have to make an account. That takes about 10-15 minutes. The whole process if you have all the information, will take less than 30 minutes. During your filing, you will input your chosen school(s) so that the information will be automatically transmitted to the school after they approve you on their end. Then it will be up to the school to adjust and approve your award amounts. It will take time, so be prepared for that. Like I said before, also be prepared to call in to the financial aid office a lot.

Every time I call no one answers. They were doing good with emailing me back but now it has stopped LOL but I will keep trying

Also, keep an eye on the financial aid tab in your my.okstate.edu account. There will be information updated there as well.

What number are you calling?

With the pandemic going on, I believe their physical office is closed right now, but you can email and request them to call you. I didn't even think about that. I guess just spam their inbox? ? Such strange times. It couldn't hurt to set up a virtual advisor session, either. Gaytra is OK, but Jennifer Hernandez seemed to be a bit more helpful overall. Maybe they can help answer your questions more effectively than I can regarding timelines due to the COVID.

Have you been calling 405-945-8646?

When is everyone getting their books? Also do we order them or pick them up from the bookstore. How does that work?

And yes. I call every number on the list. I figured they would have their phones forwarded to their personal phones. I guess email is the only way. So I’ll stick to it.

Shoot if I need to get them cheaper without the access codes I may just do that. Unless we have to have them!! What are the codes for exactly does anyone have an idea?

So have any of yall started buying supplies or books or anything?

Yes, the bookstore has our scrub tops 25% off right . I bought 2 that already had the patches on them. Books... No I’m waiting to hear back from financial aide. I have a supply list I’ve been working on , but haven’t purchased any of it because the school said they would have our lab coats and some other things there... whenever they get them.
