<prompt> Human: This has been very frustrating, but my parents and I 22 filed for FAFSA this past May for student loans. This college Im attending is the same college I attended last semester with the same student loans that was covered all my tuition. Bearing in mind, I was using the dorms and my student loans covered that too, however this year, I am not going to do the dorm option. So the main issue is that my FAFSA did not get processed at all during the summer and when I spoke to the Financial Aid department of my college, they claim they didnt receive my FAFSA mail until yesterday and would take 7-10 business days to process it. Well thats just great because their payment deadline is July 25th, tomorrow. Not only is my FAFSA not processed, which means I cant afford to pay out of pocket for roughly 5,000 but that also means Ill lose all my class spots because theyll purge my class schedule and then if somehow they process FAFSA within the next week after tomorrows payment deadline, Ill have to register again for those classes and be put on a waiting list, and the classes I signed up for fill up pretty quick. How common is this? Whats my best course of action because I did my part to fill out FAFSA, months before this upcoming semester and now Im going to be punished by losing those spots in the classes I registered for early in May too.  <response>: Something doesnt seem right here. You would want to escalate to the colleges head of financial aid, they should be able to work something out so you dont get dropped from everything.
