What does it mean for enrolled students when a college is nonaccredited?

It means don't go there. You need to go to an accreditec school.  I don't believe I have ever heard of an employer who only hired from non-accredited schools.  You would be very less likely to get a job you want if you are up against another person that has a degree from an accredited school.  I also believe that if they are not accredited you won't receive the best education possible.

Yes, check with your lenders. It doesnt matter if your semester started or not as long as your enrolled. However b careful some lenders won't send the money directly to you but instead to the school.

If you have already received $2625 in Federal Stafford Loan funding, you aren't eligible for any more this year.\n\nNote: if (a) you are independent [officially, as determined by your FAFSA and/or your school] or (b) your parents were denied a PLUS loan, you can receive another $4000 in Unsub Stafford as a Freshman.\n\nYou might be eligible for a Federal Perkins Loan (if you demonstrate financial need).  Perkins Loans are administered by your school and it us up to them to decide if you will receive one.\n\nBeyond that, you could apply for a private loan.  It can be hard to obtain private loan funding as a Freshman, particularly if you don't have a co-signer.  Do you have credit?  If so, you might be eligible for any number of private loans.

i was waiting for my financial aid award letter last fall and when it didn't come i called the financial aid office at my university.  they said i am not eligible for financial aid because i am an illegal alien.  i said i and NOT an illegal alien, i was born in Minnesota.  their response was to tell me to bring in my green card showing that i was born in Minnesota and then i would get my money.  apparently they think Minnesota is in a different country or something.  makes me really debate the value of my degree from this institution.

It depends on the type of loan (Federal, state, private, or institutional).\n\nTwo of the major Federal Student loan programs -- Stafford and Perkins -- are unique in that they require absolutely NO credit check. In fact, Financial Aid Administrators are forbidden from checking your credit as a condition for receiving these loans. You don't even need to show financial need to obtain an Unsubsidized Stafford Loan -- as long as your school is accredited, you are enrolled at least half-time as a regular student, and your other financial aid doesn't exceed your Cost of Attendance, you will be offered a Stafford Loan. \n\nThe Federal PLUS loan program does require the borrower to undergo a credit check, but it is usually a fairly "shallow" check. Most PLUS lenders just want to see that you haven't defaulted on any other student loans.\n\nLenders of private loans will perform a credit check and, if your credit is bad, you may be denied for a loan through them. However, if your credit is less-than-perfect, you can apply with a co-signer and their credit will act as a sort of "stand in" for yours. (Some borrowers have a tough time getting a friend or family member to co-sign their loan, since, technically, the cosigner is responsible for the loan payments if you aren't good about keeping up with your payments. However, you can seek out a loan that offers a "cosigner release" so that, once you've made a certain number of payments on-time [36 or 48, typically], your co-signer will be let "off the hook.")\n\nEvery company will have slightly different credit criteria, so you might get approved for a loan at one company but denied with another. If you're interested in learning more about the various lenders' credit criteria, start with the list of private loan lenders on FinAid's website: http://www.finaid.org/loans/privatestudentloans.phtml . You can go to each lender's site and read the terms and credit criteria of their loans until you find one that's right for you.

If your talking about an application fee generally those are not refundable. If it is tuition then I would just make a huge fuss about it until they gave in and just gave you your money back to shut you up. However if you didn't let them know you weren't attending and didn't try to get your money back until in the middle of the semester than it is your fault and they don't have to give it back.

Yes, though I have no direct experience with them. \n\nTheir site doesn't raise any of the red flags that most of the disreputable lender sites do.  It's a good sign that www.finaid.org lists them on their "best private loans" lender list.  That said, I don't get the sense that they are specifically catering to students with less-than-ideal credit histories, but that's not necessarily a bad thing (CampusDoor doesn't *say* that they approved borrowers with minimal credit histories, but they usually DO).  If you apply with them and they don't approve you, take that as a sign that you need to search for a lender who specifically states that they make loans to borrowers with credit problems.

It is. Most institutions have crediters that they work through. The government also offers student loans. I believe that there are even programs offered for those with bad credit. The only way you for sure will not be able to get them is if you have defaulted on student loans before

I would ask the school exactly what they mean.  I know it is a lot of paperwork, but if it means money you do not have to pay back when you complete school--it is worth it.

This probably applies to California community colleges. When I took my courses in a California state university, I was able to have these fees waived. I filled out FAFSA and based on your answers and income, you might be able to have these fees waived. I also asked the university admission counselors or financial aid counselors. I found out that most students do not even apply thinking they are not eligible for some kind of financial aid or grants. It never hurts to ask.

All colleges prefer students who have been involved in extracurricular activities. It may make the difference between getting in and not getting in.
