My boyfriend is currently attending University of Phoenix online. He has filled out his financial aid and applied for a loan. He hasn’t received any funds. He been there for 2 weeks. Can he switch his financial aid to another school so he can stop attending University of Phoenix. If so, please tell me how. He wants to go to Coahoma Community College and registration is from now til Friday. All help is accepted. Thank you for your time.

If he wants to go to another school, he should drop U of P immediately, before he incurs any more expenses there. Then he would have to reapply to the community college and apply for financial aid there. The problem is that financial aid is calculated based on the gap between what a particular college would cost you and what it is calculated by the college that you can afford. Since U of P is very expensive, he would not be able to keep the money he got to go there, and the community college would have to do a new calculation of what he would be eligible for, given a completely different cost.
