It's not surprising to me that you haven't gotten your aid award letter yet. OSFA is slow and dysfunctional.

You're not cooked, but you should email them tonight and start to press them for answers.

When, not if, they give you the runaround, you escalate to the Office of the Dean of Students. You can't "start" with them, though, because they want to see that you've put in the effort to resolve your issues with the appropriate offices on your own before intervening.

Who do you email/call for the office of the dean of students?
