CSN Student Resource - Financial Aid

Financial Aid helped me pay for my college education. I was awarded the Federal Pell Grant since I am an undergraduate student and I haven't earned my bachelor degree. I applied online at the FAFSA with the help of my mother. We submitted all of our financial information which determined what loans and grants I would be eligible for. We also informed them where I will be attending college so they would know where to send my funding.

Week 12 - First Try!

This week, I went to the DRC to take the IC3-GS5 Unit 2 Key Applications Exam for IS-101. The result is in: I passed the exam! :) This was my first attempt! My score was 850.

Now I have another exam coming up in IS-101: the IC3-GS5 Unit 1 Computing Fundamentals Exam. I don't want to fail the exam on the last day either, so I'll follow Alpha_Church's plan to take the exam early. I'm studying for this exam using the 7 worksheets Mr. Wu posted on Canvas in Week 12A. I hope I pass this exam on my first attempt as well!

It took me a week, but I got my A7 Mail Merge done! I sent it to Mr. Wu and got feedback on what I did wrong. I re-submitted A7 again and again until I got it right.

Week 11 - Link an Object?

The students got onto their computers to take the IC3-GS5 Unit 2 Key Applications Exam. I scheduled with the DRC to take this exam on Tuesday at 2 pm.

I got started on A7 Mail Merge. I knew how to merge the letter and labels using the Wizard. One thing I didn't get was how do I link an object in the letter? I read and understood the instructions clearly, I just didn't know how to link the letters and labels on Word.

Week 10 - A6 Spreadsheet Analysis

It took me a week, but I got my A6 Spreadsheet Analysis with Trailer done! I sent it to Mr. Wu and got feedback on what I did wrong. I learned from my mistakes as I tried to fix them. I re-submitted A6 again and again until I got it right.
