Go to a bank and make an appointment to see a loans officer. At short notice that might be your best option. Make sure you plan for next term now as well so that you don't get caught like this again.

If your parents don't mind paying for more driving lessons then do it. What's making you fail the test? It's probably because you're nervous. I know in New York you are allowed to change testing locations. If your parents has their own car, just borrow it and drive around for a few hours. School wise I completely understand. I believe most students don't do their best during the first year of college. I didn't, but now I'm a senior and my grades improved. When your doing something new and for the first time it's hard not to mess up a bit. By the way you have your friends and family to support you. hope this helps.

I had the same thing happen. I took out a student loan. Go to admissions or make an appt. to get a loan. You can pay it off little by litter when you are done. ditch the cellphone, car and gas if you're on campus you wont need it.
Teaching you the value of money is all fine and dandy but having good communications is another.
I know its frightening but there are so many people at the college willing to help you.
Good luck!!

Go immediately to your school's financial aid office. They can help you with an emergency loan, and you do not have to pay off a loan while you are in school - the loans become due after you graduate. Did your parents just mention this for the first time now, or did you know that you were going to have to pay for your own education, but you just realized that the deadine was this week?

Talk to your school's financial aid office. Hopefully they can help you by granting an extension. Also, they can point you in the direction of some loans that don't have to be paid off until after you finish school.
Good luck!

The first step is to go to the Financial Aid Office of the college that you are attending. You need to sit down with a financial aid counselor and discuss your situation. The counselor will be able to offer the best solutions to your situation.

Sell your car, that should give you some cash. A car is a liability, an education is an asset. BTW - In Canada you are ineligible for a student loan if you own a car.

You need to contact the financial office of your school and see what they can do to help you. These people are paid to help you out and know of many programs for people in your situation.

I would talk to your counselor at school. I am confident he/she can postpone the deadline and help you secure a student loan.
