The financial aid department at this school is terribly slow at processing. I am presently still not approved for my financial aid because of IRS verification and I don't blame the IRS's inquiry on the financial aid department. I do blame the financial aid department for misinforming me and telling me to wait on a call from the IRS which never came and subsequently left me ineligible for aid due to time constraints. I have called at least 50 times and noone has answered the phone in a month. I emailed the department and waited for a month only to receive an automatically generated script response telling me to check a student email account for a possible resolution. My email to the financial aid department was generated from my student services account so it doesn't make sense for them to tell me to check it when it's apparent it was checked. I still haven't spoken to anyone and have to call the IRS personally on my lunch break today and handle everything by myself. I have to take off time from work to go up to the school so that I can get some pseudo answers in person. The reviews about the financial aid nightmare and poor administration is true. I am eagerly awaiting my reward letter and full acceptance so that I can begin college. Nothing is made to be a cakewalk in life, but if you're lucky things will semi function as they are supposed to. GPCs financial aid department is not functioning well at all and is in need of resuscitation.

Good luck to all endeavoring on this pursuit. It will take utmost patience and diligence. Don't say I didn't tell you so!

Sincerely,

Disgruntled student
