During the beginning of this semester, I got a letter from the financial aid department telling me that since I was taking 2 classes that has nothing to do with my major, I was ineligible for TAP and HESC. (This was later resolved.)

I'm thinking about changing my major and I'm wondering if I change it now so I can register for classes for the new one, would I still have the financial aid/SEEK for this remaining semester?

Thanks for any help!

I'm thinking about taking next semester off. How do I go about doing that? Will there be any loss of financial aid? Thanks!

I want to drop a course and replace it with another one; would there be anything else besides the 75% refund for dropping that course? Thanks. XD

Classes started today and next Monday is Labor day.  Does this mean that Monday classes won't begin until September 8?

Are all academic buildings open on the weekend?  I want to drop off a paper today (Sunday) in a prof's office so I don't have to do it during the week.

Does anyone know where to apply for Summer Pell? I went to the FA office and they told me to do it online so I figured they meant on the fafsa website... 

And can I only take 3 credits during the summer? It says up to 6 credits so just want to be sure, thanks!

Fudan University historic gate
Summer Program in Shanghai, China

June 28 - August 4rd, 2008

The Purchase College summer program in China is located in Shanghai, the leading city and center of modernization which has made China a leader in the 21st century. New China can be found in the superb museums, galleries, dramatic skyline, exciting night-life, outstanding libraries, and world-class shopping and dining possibilities.

Shanghai still retains old China as well. Exploring the alleys and smaller byways, students can discover the culture of ancient China still resonant in the bird-and-flower streets, the sidewalk chess games, the tiny stalls, shops and markets, and the rich life of past and present. The program includes a week long tour of locations of historic and cultural significance as well as four weeks of study on a renowned Chinese university campus.
