Anyone get their summer aid yet? Mines has been pending since June 16th

I am 17 (18 in a mere few days). This past summer, my mom has been forcing me to do college, despite the fact I do not want to and already have a plan for my life that does not involve college or continuing an education at all. She forcibly made me create an account on the website, applied me, and signed me up for financial aid. Both were accepted, yet she has not yet enrolled me in anything.

Who do I contact? Is it still possible for me? I want to do this behind her back, if possible.

Hi! My late-start summer class just started. I already got my first summer financial aid refund for my first class. Will I get another refund now that my second class has started? If anyone has been through this, how long did it take to update? Thanks :)

I'm just making sure with him, because I'm taking a class rn in the summer, it's our fist year so we don't really know how it works, for me I can see my fall aid, but for him it doesn't show up yet, is that normal?

Hello I am taking one class this semester for 3 credits. I exhausted my spring pell grant. So I'm wondering if they'll pull from my fall pell grant to cover my class? I am hoping to get a refund as I only owe $22. I spoke to them in person and they said it would pull from my fall but I dont know if it counts if I only have one class.

I just got an email at ~2am this morning with a file attached titled “FALL DISBURSMENT FOR Los Angeles Community Colleges!” I’m thinking it’s probably a scam, but I don’t want to not do something important and get in trouble or whatever. They also spelled disbursement wrong so I feel pretty strongly that it’s a scam but just in case. It also comes from a Gmail account, not like a laccd account

Just moved from Seattle, my plan is to transfer to a 4 year. I’d like some social element, scc in Seattle had some clubs and events etc, thats definitely a draw for me.

I’ll be in Hollywood area, van nuys, or north hollywood. Where I end up may be the main factor.

What are some differences between the two locations, if any? Is one friendlier? For reference I’m 25f

I’m looking for an easy Chem 51 professor to take.

It’s my last final class and I so far have 4.0 GPA, please just an easy professor I’m so burnt out 😭

Is there some Discord group or something of the like to buy/sell textbooks? I'd like to check that before I commit to buying new copies.

As a student who wants to transfer to a UC to pursue an engineering degree, it is not recommended to complete the IGETC. I am just considering the idea of finishing it in my last year as it is cheaper and also to be able to get an AA degree before transferring. However, it is kinda hard to fit in my schedule as I still need to take 4 general education courses and the other classes I’ll be taking are prerequisites for my major.

I did some research and found that leaving some gen ed courses to take at uni could help balance my schedule with heavy upper division courses once I transfer and that I can submit a petition at a CC to graduate with an AA degree once I finish them at uni but I am still not sure.

What are your thoughts on this?

I just finished one of my summer exams, and honestly, it was one of the most demanding exams I’ve taken. We were given 70 minutes to write two in-depth essays on two different political philosophers. Each essay required us to answer multiple prompts, write in our own words, support our responses using the assigned readings, include APA in-text citations throughout, and finish with a properly formatted references page. On top of that, you still have to read the questions carefully, organize your thoughts, write around 1,000 words total, cite everything correctly, and proofread before submitting. When you add all of that together, 70 minutes goes by incredibly fast. It genuinely felt like I was racing the clock more than I was demonstrating my understanding of the material.

After the exam, I discovered that my OSS accommodation letters had never been requested for the summer semester. I take responsibility for that. At the same time, I do wish OSS sent a reminder before each semester begins. I remember receiving reminders during the spring semester, so having a similar reminder before the summer would have been really helpful. The first reminder I noticed wasn’t until July 16, after summer classes had already begun. Had I received a reminder before the semester started, I likely would have caught it much sooner.

This experience also reminded me why testing accommodations matter. Some students may not need extra time, and that’s completely okay. In my case, this was exactly the type of exam where extra time could have made a meaningful difference. I understood the material, but the challenge wasn’t just demonstrating that knowledge. It was demonstrating it while simultaneously writing two in-depth essays, citing sources in APA format, creating a references page, organizing my thoughts, and racing against the clock. By the end, it felt like time management had become a bigger factor than my actual understanding of the course material.
I’m sharing this in case it helps another OSS student avoid the same situation. If you’re registered with OSS, make sure your accommodation letters are requested each semester. I also hope OSS considers sending reminder emails before every term begins, since a simple reminder could prevent students from finding themselves in the same position I did.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with either a heavily timed essay exam or forgetting to request their accommodation letters for a new semester?

Hi so this semester i was enrolled in 12 units with 3 units starting the second session however earlier this semester i was dropped from 6 units however this was after my financial aid was disbursed in which i was already disbursed the amount for 9 units in total.

I have now enrolled in 6 units plus the 3 i was already scheduled to take for the second session (to make up for the classes I was dropped from) do you know if i will still have my financial aid updated to reflect the 3 units i have not been paid for by my Pell grant when the second session starts?

Does anyone know if she does id checks for exams?

Lol I know this is obviously a scam but just wanted to warn people that they’re sending scam gmails right now. 😫

Anyone get any updates on when we should be seeing an amount for summer session b? Next week portal update maybe?

Does anyone know what i can do after this? like if i can reappeal or anything
