Greatlakes I got my federal pell grant back for this year and finanical aid said since I am going into nursing I will get it then also when I get into the program. They ARE NOT USING THE CREDITS FROM SCHOOLCRAFT they are only using the ones I have earned from WCC.

I doubt it since I never had any of my credits from schoolcrft transfered over no no they did not take into account every credit i have ever earned. But thank you for your reply. At WCC they are only using the 32 credits I have earned at WCC ONLY.

I am glad that I am not the only one that this has happened to. I put in an appel and hopefully will have an answer soon. Greatlakes, yes I only have 32 credits. The program that they have me under along with anyone going into nursing is health care foundations which only requires 34-38 credits found that out from my counseler. They are not and will not change my major to NURSING until I get offically accepted into the nursing program which that program is like 72 credits. Also, went over to schoolcraft for the fire academy and emt/paramedic programs and was never denied financial aid at all. I was well over the required credits for both programs and never had any issuses and with WCC.

Ok so I am a little fustrated and was wondering if anyone else has had the same issue where they are at. I am currently attending Washtenaw Community College and I have been recieving the Federal Pell Grant since I started school last fall. Registration started in July and I registered for my last two general education classes for the RN program here and I was awared the full amount of the Pell Grant which is enough to cover tuition and books. Anyways I got a email Friday stating that I was ineligable for Financial Aid due to the fact that I had too many credits for my certificate/degree. I only have 32 and the RN program requires a minium of 72 hours. So I did do the appel on Monday and was notified today that my appeal was denied. So as of right now I had to drop this semester and more and likely next semester as well do to the fact I cannot pay for school out of my pocket. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem where they are going? Do any of you have any suggestions on what I should do? I am on the waitlist for the program which is 2 years long. It just fustrated me that they waited until the last min before letting me know I wouldnt be getting my finacial aid. They sent the email Friday and payment for classes are due tomorrow the 18th. EFC is 0 and working a min wage job there is no way I can pay for school myself. Plus, I have never heard of a school denying finacial aid due to too many credits.

Ok so I am a little fustrated right now. I am going to Washtenaw COmmunity College and I have almost all my general education classes done except for 2 (Pathophysiology and Growth and Development) for nursing. Anyway I got a email from the Financial Aid Department Friday stating that I do not qualify for Financial Aid this year because I have too many credits for my degree/certificate which I currently have only 38. I met with my counselor and simmitted a maximum credit appeal which may or may not get approved from financial aid. I am not on the waitlist and will be taking my TEAS in September so that I can get on the waitlist at the school. Its fustrating because they sent out the e-mail Friday and I couldnt do anything until Monday. Of course all classes start Aug 26 and payment is due this Thursday the 18th which I cant pay. I was wondering if anyone else from Washtenaw has had this problem?

wll like how hard are the pre reqs? I havent been in school for a while and am a little nervous about going back. Plus, I want to make sure I have a high GPA too. Any tips for taking the pre reqs would be helpful. Like should i do the full 12 credit hours or go part time and go from there. Should I take anamony and chem the same time etc. Which teachers are good and which are not. That sort of thing.

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone in here was going to washtenaw community college for nursing? If you are can you give me any information like how long the waiting list is and any advice on the pre reqs. Thank you in advanced

Oh ok thank you. I am new to the forum and didn't realize that there was a Michigan room here. Wow 5 years. I was actually thinking about going to Schoolcraft too because I took my emt basic, medic, and fire academy.

I was wondering if anyone on here has any information on the nursing program at Washtenaw Community College. I was wondering like how long the wit list was and if they do the NET or TEAS or what. Any information would be great.
