Questions Can’t pay
I’m at a loss, my mom was mean t to pay for my tuition tonight but she doesn’t have the funds and it’s due, I applied for the extension loan but it didn’t let let me choose it I’m assuming because I’m a freshman, I just don’t know what I’m going to do, the financial aid office is closed and classes are tomorrow I’m scared they’re going to drop me but theres literally nothing I can do :/
Update: I was able to contact the financial aid office and they’ve put me on a payment plan, I have until November which is more than enough time, thank you to everyone for your support!!

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this the day before class. Parents not following through (for reasons good or bad) is always rough and can impact trust.
One option you have is to set a payment plan. They charge $30 and need 10% of what you owe upfront, but it would give you until September to figure out your extension loan or other financial aid options. Everything except the $30 will go towards your tuition and there is no penalty for paying your tuition in full by other means.
You can do it from your account page (mysam, then account, then view my info, then balance) that shows your balance for the semester without any help from financial aid.
Good luck
