And the financial aid officer and the Bursar's office would do the same.
I deal with the people working in the financial aid office all the time and half the time they are wrong. I know this to be a fact because I always check and confirm what they tell me with the financial aid directors.

The person who approves financial aid locally at the college its self is the director not the person working the front desk. The person at the front desk in the financial aid office many times is just a student working a part time job trying to pay for their own tuition. That person typically knows nothing more then stuff about forms that need to be processed and filled out. They are secretaries, nothing more.
