Please be advised: Has anyone had to deal with the Financial Aid department at this university? Prior to arriving in Hawaii at HPU, I had to deal with the Financial Aid Counselors over the phone and they continually revised my award and sent me emails "by mistake". Keep in mind, I registered full time via pipeline and not once made a change to switch or adjust my schedule in any way. To make matters worse, when the term started the personnel in that department were of no help. The Financial Aid department finally "corrected" my account and I turned to the Finance and Operations office for help. The staff there kept me up to date on my account and somehow I ended up on this discrepancy hold list for no apparent reason. Fed up with my experience I spoke to the Director of Financial Aid ADAM HATCH about the horrible treatment of his staff and their condescending tone to students. They were not helpful, friendly, or emphatic to the situation that I was in. In fact, as I was leaving the office Adam Hatch called me a "problematic" student. It is unfortunate for someone with his authority and title to reflect such a awful image and provide a memorable experience to say the least.
