Work has picked up tremendously this week. Out of the 50 or so institutions within the family that I work at, our specific school is the second worst with unpaid aid. What that comes down to is students not turning their required documents into our department.
We're getting to the end of the calendar year and we're trying to get as much of that aid to pay as we can. Unfortunately, a lot of these students don't seem to understand that they have a repsonsibility to not just go to class and and do well, but if they want their aid, we need certain documentation.
So what it comes down to is we have to go to their classes, drag them out of class, walk them to our office, give them the document, and watch them fill it out. Meanwhile they're not getting their aid.
It may be a lack of knowledge or a lack of caring. But it's tough when we have this sizable gap to cover and we have to rely on a group of people who aren't proving themselves to be reliable. We have two weeks left. I can't say we have a definitive goal besides doing the best we can.
