I just filled out my FAFSA a few days ago. I think that I got talked into going to an online college. I got a call from Ashford University Online, and the advisor, who seemed to be a pretty good sales man, talked me into filling out an application and FAFSA. I used the schools Federal Code on the FAFSA.
But just a few minutes ago, I made a correction on the FAFSA and deleted the school. Is it to late? Will Ashford receive the money anyways once the money is approved?
My EFC is 378 so I'm positive that I'm going to receive grant and loan money. Here's my problem...They want me to start class tomorrow. If I attend the online class, that's shows that I'm acknowledging that I'm am a student. But if I don't show up, I'm afraid that they'll eventually get there hands on my financial aid anyways, and then I'll have to default, so I'll be out of money with no education at all. I was unaware that I had better options!

Best 401(k) Moves When You Leave a Job - CBS MoneyWatch.com
Whether you leave your company by your own choice or as yet another victim of this brutal downturn , eventually you’ll move on to greener cubicles. And when the time comes, you’ll face a very important question: What to do with that chunk of change you’ve amassed in your 401(k)? Should you leave it there? Transfer it to a new employer’s 401(k) plan or to a rollover IRA? Cash it out? (Short answer to that last one: No.) The wrong move could cost you tens of thousands in taxes and penalties, while the right one could feather your retirement nest for years. Follow these seven rules to handle your 401(k) with finesse when you leave a job:
Nearly half of employees cash out their 401(k) balance when they move to a new job , according to a survey by Hewitt Associates. That’s a whopper of a goof . Not only will you pay taxes on all that cash (plus a 10 percent early-withdrawal penalty if you’re under 55 — ouch!), you’ll lose out on the future compounding and growth from leaving it in a 401(k) or by rolling it into an IRA.
