I'm pretty sure that all you have to do is except the funds through Stanley.Kiwi3891 wrote:Do we need to accept the gradplus loan only on Stanley?
How are the funds dispersed? Does STCL take it directly from your award and deposit the rest to an account? Or do they give us the entire sum and we pay the tuition direct?
Actually withdrew late in the day, so you didn't get my spot, but someone else will. Really happy for you!!! Getting in off the wait list is much more exciting. We want it and appreciate it more. Congratulations!! And YIPPIE!!h0peful wrote:grb wrote:Withdrawing with mixed emotions my FT seat today. Happy to make some wait-lister's day! STCL is a great place!

The school will apply the funds and then issue you a check if there are left overs. I've seen them come as early as a week before school to as late as a week after school. You'll probably have to buy books on credit cards
In Section C it is no longer Wheeler, instead it is Val Ricks. Have you ever had him?Grad_Student wrote:Good mix out overallholliebell wrote:Yup, we have the complete section schedules up on the facebook page. We get our sections on June 20th.

No idea if y'all have been placed into Sections but take a look!

Rensberger: Very dry but still funny. Won't beat you up too much during recitation.
Wheeler: Toughest professor at STCL. Will make someone cry and loves it. However, a great professor.
Field: New guy, don't know anything about him. He's been around for about a year.
Carlson: Same as Rensberger or so I've heard...I never took him.
Wilks: Jesus Christ, get a supplement. The man is around 857 years old and SPEEDS through shit. I took him for evidence and I can't imagine CivPro being any better...good luck.
Moses: I've heard mixed reviews but never took him. Some say he's awesome, some say he's a weird creepy old man.
Moore: All I can say is look out. She goes on wild mood swings, leaves class, has breakdowns. I have no idea why she is still teaching....one of the worst at STCL. Her test is designed so you DO NOT finish it.
Kelso: Love him or hate him kind of guy. Very dry but you DO learn the law. I loved him. He won't look at students though....stares at the clock.
Taylor: Oh how I love Cherie's short skirts. She never called on one person in my section, she just LOVES to hear herself talk. Get a supplement and you'll do fine.
Corn: Best professor at STCL hands down. That's all I have to say.
Bauman: Funny guy, but don't know much beyond that.
Wheeler: See above.
I guess if I was going to go with a section, I'd choose C.
It's been almost 3 years since I did this...so I would defer to you!holliebell wrote:Grad_Student wrote:I'm pretty sure that all you have to do is except the funds through Stanley.Kiwi3891 wrote:Do we need to accept the gradplus loan only on Stanley?

NOOOO!!!! Accepting the gradplus loans only through Stanley means that you will NOT get them. You have to go to studentloans.gov and apply for the gradplus loan. Because the gradplus loan is not based on need, it is based on credit, you have to be approved for it. They will check your credit and come back with an automatic answer (approved or denied). If you are denied (the only reasons you will be denied are if you have some loans 90 days delinquent or more, if you have filed for bankruptcy, etc...) you can appeal the decision and you will have to prove that you are up to date on everything. If worse comes to worse you will need a co signer. This needs to be done by, I think, June 27th!!!!
Never had Ricks but friends have had him for Corps. He's a good guy, funny but dry humor, not too tough on recitation. Now with Wheeler moved out, this is the best section.holliebell wrote: In Section C it is no longer Wheeler, instead it is Val Ricks. Have you ever had him?
FYI, just found out I'm section C!
Thanks for the info! I went ahead and applied through that website and was approved. I also filled out a MPN. Are there any other forms? Futhermore, do I need to do anything with the Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans aside from accepting them on Stanley?holliebell wrote:Grad_Student wrote:I'm pretty sure that all you have to do is except the funds through Stanley.Kiwi3891 wrote:Do we need to accept the gradplus loan only on Stanley?

Have you done the entrance counseling? You also need to sign MPN's for the stafford loans.Kiwi3891 wrote:Thanks for the info! I went ahead and applied through that website and was approved.

Don't know much. He teaches some of the other UCC courses that my friends had and they enjoyed him. I don't think he's too tough on recitation but I don't know anything about his exam sorryangie979 wrote: I'm in section B and Contracts is now Page. Do you know anything about Page?

I've heard rumors that she can be a bit of a feminist in the classroom and rail the guys. I know that she went on sabbatical right after my first semester. I don't know if it was tied to the penis incident thought.tex1010 wrote:Grad-Student,

There were two separate penis incidents. The spring semester before I started someone drew a penis on her door dry erase board...childish yes. The point was to ruffle her feathers and it did. In fact, there was a youtube audio floating around with her yelling about it....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_13ycAGeOA , yup here it is.jacketman03 wrote:Penis incident?
