Devry University Online Assured my aid and loans would cover expenses and after I began they did not cover everything and I have a high out of pocket expense Portland Oregon

I was in a similar situation and the only way out was to either take out yet another loan (already had 2 Stafford loans) or drop all my classes. If you drop classes early enough you'll be able to get a full refund or at least half a refund. If you really wish to continue at DeVry you NEED a private loan, or else you'll just have to drop your classes and never look back.

My family currently lives on disability income of about $1200 a month. My EFC score at FASFA is 0. I'm able to take classes at DeVry University online full time for 12 credit hours every tri-semester, fully paid by the Pell grant and a combination of other government backed loans. The financial aid advisors at DeVry have been absolutely stellar and have helped me understand my tuition and loan costs better than the advisors I went through at a state university before my wife and I were disabled.

Now my wife did accure a $3,000 fee at DeVry last summer because her eye sight became so bad she could not finish her online classes and withdrew late in her last semester. This was all fully explained and warned about by the DeVry administrators before it happened. They tried everything they could to help her finish her classes and keeping the financial aid available to cover those classes for her. They've been extremely patient with us trying to pay off that bill now for almost a year. We're currently waiting on the Commission for the Blind to see if they can help resolve that debt with DeVry for us. But DeVry has done everything else so far to help us prevent this from affecting our credit score rating. We have yet to write a letter to the DeVry executive staff asking if they can forgive the debt if the Commission for the Blind is unable too. I'm very confident they may be so willing given the extremely thoughtful and kind attitude they've given us over these last 2 years. I strongly recommend this school to anyone and everyone for this and many other reasons.

I have been through the financial aid process at other schools. Federal student loans put a cap on how much you can borrow per semester. The financial aid officer should have told you that. You will need to take out private loans to cover the difference. DeVry has something called Educard which is a private loan to cover your books. They should have other private loans you can apply for as well. I would try calling the corporate number to speak with someone about this situation.
