I feel for you. Pitt Financial Aid seems to ignore students who study abroad and all you get is a bunch of trouble. I also had problems with them when I came back from Japan (they weren't going to give me any financial aid either). The reason they said was that I hadn't earned any credits the previous semester(even though by this time both Study Abroad and the Registar's office had my transcript from Kansai Gaidai). I suggest asking for a transcript from your first semester ASAP after finals are over and send it to stupid Financial Aid. This may solve your problem.

I think I'm going to start having financial aid troubles too soon. Since I'm going to Osaka for 6 months (Starting in May) for a JETRO internship. Which means only like 3 credits for that semester, plus it's going to be my 9th term...
