<prompt> Human: Im finishing up my masters degree this summer. I was supposed to graduate in the spring but came across some complications and had to finish this summer. Every semester of my masters I had tuition remission and was a paid TA. This semester I was not. Financial aid approved me for 5000 to help cover my fees and give me extra living expense money since I am not working. However, in the middle of the semester someone changed my financial aid for no reason. I have worked it out to where I need 784 for classes as opposed to 2000 they were initially saying when the problem began.I applied for a private loan because I need to finish my masters. The school claimed I was in budget and would not approve the loan. This happened when I owed the full tuition as well. I showed them I have no money and cannot pay for the school but they refuse to approve my private loan. In addition to the 784 for classes I owe, I owe 300 for thesis submission fees that have to be paid by Monday to graduate. I am going to a PhD program in the fall where I have my tuition and fees covered but I need to finish my courses here in order to begin. Is there anything I can do? Are there loans that students can get for living expensestuition that do not require school approval? I made less than 12000 last year so Im not sure why they think I can contribute more than 5000 for a semester. Please help, rpersonalfinance! tl;dr School wont approve a private loan that will pay for my classes. How the hell am I supposed to pay my classes then? Edit: Since people need every single detail. In the text I mention I had a job as a TA. I no longer was a TA 2 weeks ago when summer semester started. I start a new job soon but its not fast enough. Summer semester is 3 weeks long and my tuition was due this week. Im only asking if there are loans available that do not require school approval.  <response>: I would walk in and ask what can you do to get it paid for. Be polite and respectful. Make eye contact and meet them with a smile.Getting through life you have to realize - half the battle is making people like you and the other half is working your ass off. I guarantee you if its within their power and they like you, theyll do everything they can to help you.That being said, if you walk in and they truly cannot help you, you will have to look for additional loan options. If you can find a cosigner, get a private loan through a bank or national lender. If you have things you can sell, do it. Your future truly rests on you getting this degree and getting on to your PhD studies. If that means you have to sell your TV, your laptop, your nice clothes or eat cheap for 6 months fucking do it. Dont make a single excuse.
