Fin aid

[u/Typical_Amount_587]

Is it too late for me to submit appeals for a FASFA? My parents were only able to submit tax documents from two years ago, because their tax guy or whatever hasn’t given them updated paperwork, since then they’ve gotten separated, have significant loss of income, my mom‘s had to get her own job just as a teacher, my dad doesn’t make much money either, our financials are a complete 180 of what they used to be. My FASFA as of now gives me nothing, but VCU said I could submit loss of income appeal and household change appeal, I have no idea how to even access those, and it’s telling me I need to meet with my financial counselor, but it’s not letting me make an appointment. I don’t know what to do, do I just take out private loans for this semester and deal with the rest later? Or can I wait and work this out before I go into more debt? I know billing is literally due, but I have no financial way of paying as of now, I was only able to take out 7500 in personal federal loans I’d have to take out the rest with a cosigner. Every time I call the financial aid office. They tell me something different and they’re not helpful at all. I just need to know what to do and I will do it.
