Things I did yesterday: submitted a FAFSA application, and then a TAP (NY state equivalent) application. Since this is for the 2018 spring semester, it's a 2017-18 FAFSA and based on my 2015 income, which was, frankly, shit, so it looks like I am probably eligible for some kind of financial aid. Online FAFSA processing is apparently super-fast, at least at off-season times of year. The TAP application is dependent on the FAFSA, so hopefully I will hear back from them soon as well.
Anyway, I guess I will learn more concrete details about my options at my orientation session tomorrow morning!
Now I just need to dig up my internal college system username and password...
...
*time passes*
...
Okay, done! I know the route to TC3, I know the room number I need to go to, presumably I cannot get too lost in the parking lots or the main building, and I will deal with anything else as it comes up. *resolve face*

Date: 2017-11-16 04:12 am (UTC)I also have a habit of of emailing myself my user info whenever I set up important accounts -- coded, of course, with references that are gibberish to people who don't literally share my brain -- because my memory is a sieve for things like that and I like to make sure I have a record somewhere readily accessible.
And the rest is basically Google Maps, so.
(I am still biting my nails, because oh god an in-person conversation with people who have the power to judge me... *twitches*)

Date: 2017-11-16 11:19 pm (UTC)Of course, now I have even more paperwork to deal with -- a certificate of residence (must be notarized, ugh) so I get in-state rather than out-of-state tuition rates, an application to a nifty local scholarship, more financial aid documents as that application processes through the bureaucracy -- but I am enrolled in two online courses and have a clear path to an associate degree in about two more semesters. :D
