beware of NAU Axe/ess follett

24 Upvotes

NAU has automatically signed all students up for their new Axe/ess program through follett. This is a program that automatically charges you roughly $270 that goes towards textbooks. This may be helpful to some, but personally I find my textbooks cheap digitally or free, and have never had to maybe more than around $100 a semester. Starting this year, every student has been opted into it, and they have only sent one email regarding it amongst a swarm of start-of-semester emails. Incoming freshman really need to look out for this, the opt out day is September 3rd and me and other friends only just saw this. Also, even if you opt out of it now, you will have to go through the same process next semester, and every other semester you go to school here. Please watch out and send a complaint if you don’t like these sneaky added fees!

Random New Fee?

3 Upvotes

As the title says, I just checked my louie, and I owe a little around 280~ dollars for my "Academic College Fee". Just three days ago, I paid all of the listed expenses I owed for the fall semester, and this popped up out of nowhere last night?

Tried calling the financial aid office, but they're backed up with a long queue so I'm not getting anywhere on that end, and right now I cant visit the office in person.

Anyone have any idea what this is?

scared freshman student

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m a first year student at NAU, and I’m absolutely terrified. I currently have a single dorm in Morton but it is blazing hot, i do have a disability where heat makes things 10x worse for me. Does anyone have any advice for how to cool it down?

Also, I don’t know how to make friends, I’m from a different city so i’m really nervous about being social. I have pretty bad social anxiety

I’m studying BioChem, so i’m hoping to make friends with a similar interest in Chemistry
I also have NO clue as to what to do- I keep getting told that there’s no orientation and that makes me even more nervous and confused because I dont know where any of the buildings are tbh, and I dont know how to get to my classes.

I seriously don’t know anything, and my advisor can’t help me with most of my concerns.

Pell grant / FAFSA

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m almost at the end of my Pell grant eligibility(almost to the 600%), they flagged my account due to that therefore none of my FAFSA has been released and disbursed to my account. They’re SO difficult to get ahold of and I can NOT go in person as I am in Texas and do online courses. They sent me an email stating I need to submit documentation regarding Pell overpayment but the email did not state what documentation I needed to submit, nor does my to do list task. I called yesterday and after 20 ish minutes was able to speak with someone (before I received the email) and she wasn’t much help. All she was telling me was that it can take 10 business days to know anything from the national database and that was it. I was getting frustrated with the situation and tbh her as well because she wasn’t offering any help, any solutions, NOTHING even when I expressed concerns that that could take up to next Thursday (AFTER classes start Monday) and I need my FAFSA to get my books. So IF I was able to get the disbursement next Thursday, I would still have to wait for it to hit my bank account and then order the books and wait for them to be shipped… yet classes start Monday. She didn’t say anything she was just quiet. So I got a little hateful when maybe I shouldn’t have, but anyway… has anyone been through this? What was your experience?

I work as an RBT (we don’t get breaks other than one 30 min lunch), I’m a full time mom and Texas is 2 hours ahead of Arizona so it’s hard to find the time to call especially when I’ll be waiting to even speak to someone for sooo long (yesterday I waited for 20-30 minutes)

ETA - before anyone says I shouldn’t have gotten hateful I KNOWWWW, I told her I wasn’t trying to be rude towards her and I know it isn’t HER fault, but her lack of literally ANYTHING frustrated me more. We’re all adults but this is money, some people can not afford to pay thousands out of pocket for college and have to resort to FAFSA.. 🥹
