St pete college fall 2013

[Icujnel7]

Hello,

I have read previous posts on here over the last few months regarding admission to SPC's AS Nursing program. I applied for the fall 2013 semester. Are there any applicants out there who also applied? I am playing the waiting game. Do any previous applicants know how long it takes to hear if you are accepted or not, once the application window closes? Thank you:)

Congrats alternates!

Highwaygirl, I too am taking loans and financial aid. Why are you waiting to get the HEC ID? I have not yet gotten mine. Will financial aid cover this? Also, my tuition due date is now sometime in October. Financial aid usually comes in 4 weeks after classes start. Does anyone know if this has changed? Maybe the money will not be in until October instead of September?

Chris003,

You were #16, correct? I have a friend that is #19 and I am really hoping they make that far down the list.

Melody, I'm only waiting to get the HEC ID because you have to bring in a printed schedule of fees that shows you've either a.) paid all of your tuition/fees, or b.) have financial aid coming. Since I haven't formally accepted the loans yet, it shows $0.00 as expected financial aid. Once I accept the loans it will show $5000 (or whatever it is) is expected, and then I'll be able to get my ID.

Does anyone know the acceptance: applicant ratio?

Were the foundation scholarships awarded yet? I have been awarded one but 5 are still pending.

Hey guys first time poster here!

Can someone please help me with this question?

For the Assessment of Heath Status form, it requires students to submit a TB test results within 12 months. I took one 5 years ago and it was positive. Therefore, must I take another one or can I just go ahead a schedule a chest X-ray?

Thanks!

I think someone asked that same question at orientation and I believe they told her she could go straight to the X-ray. I would verify that with certifiedbackground or SPC. I had to asked CB a question on their chat help and they were surprisingly informed, fast and helpful so I would start there.

Highwaygirl,

I've unsuccessfully tried to look up the answer to the following question. Maybe, you know the answer?....

Once the new interest rate passes with the house (apparently it passed with the senate yesterday), are they (lower interest rates) effective immediately for the fall 2013 term? If I accept the loan money now (days or weeks before the legislation is passed), will my loans still fall under the current 6.8% because I accepted too soon?

My understanding is that student loans are variable (dependent on the government's chosen rate unless consolidated by the student with special programs during repayment). If that is the case, one would think that if they can raise my interest rate during repayment of past loans then why could they not lower it when current rates change (but then again, nothing ever seems to be as fair as it should/could be).

My hunch is that they will state all loans beginning on or after 7/1/2013 are eligible for the new rate. But...... I don't want to be wrong and screw myself. Hoping you know more and can help.....

Got my question answered. It will be retro-activated (just in case someone else was wondering too).

[highwaygirl]

Heh, as soon as I saw "retroactive to July 1" in the news story I went ahead and accepted my loans.

And then I printed out my schedule of fees so I can get my ID before my ATI testing, and it is teeny-tiny. I hope the people in the business office either have good close vision, or reading glasses.

Haha, I just accepted too. Did you go to HEC for your ID?
