Copy of Attempt to Access PSU Financial Aid Counselor

I am not sure that I will have any luck getting through with my former college and I guess if I have much trouble getting basics, I might not want to attach my name to a degree from this school. My problems began in Oregon and so far, I don't know that they've been resolved. How many times does someone have to ask for a personal contact for financial aid matters? Then again, I don't know who my email is being received by because no one is attaching a name. I had significant problems with some of the people in financial aid at PSU. I had to work at finding the right person who was willing to help me. I am just wondering if it will be a nightmare all over again unless I get to the right person. I may have to find another college that actually wants credit for taking part in my education, and what I accomplish or have accomplished, rather than mess with this if it takes too long. I am even wondering if I can get around going to a U.S. college if I continue to have problems and just go to a college abroad by distance. I don't know what country has colleges with online programs for international use though. My attempts below:

Hello,

Thank you. However, I would like to be referred to a personal financial aid counselor so I am able to speak with the same person about my personal financial matters rather than 10 different people.

If you could let me know who my contact should be, so I can work with one person, that would be great. I would also prefer that if I'm getting responses, a name is attached so there is some responsibility and accountability attached to our correspondence.

Thanks a lot.

Hello,

Could you please put me in touch with someone in financial aid? I have some questions about trying to possibly finish my degree with PSU but need to talk with someone about my financial aid situation and also, I need a contact in the English Lit or supervisory department (maybe even the independent program) to find out if I could possibly finish my degree in English Lit by distance with someone who might be willing to work with me.

Otherwise, I will have to finish my degree elsewhere but I thought I'd see if there is an opportunity to do this with PSU since I'm almost done.

Sincerely,

Cameo
