Hi I am new to this forum. But I will be attending the second degree program in Abilene as well!! I do know there are a lot of house up for rent in Abilene for low rates. Also financial aid usually is not on top of their game so I wouldn't stress the delay they are presenting!

But my question is how did all of you send in your immunization records? By fax or mail?

Thanks and I cannot wait to meet everyone!

That is strange, because I got my Financial Aid award on July 5th. I found that everyone at the Financial Aid Office has been extremely helpful and on top of things. At least that's been my experience. Not sure how quickly you got your information into them, but I would definitely call in if you feel there is a problem. The longer you wait and if there is a problem the longer it takes for you to get your funds. I was able to take care of it and should be getting my check direct deposited around Aug. 15-17.
