Financial Aid and Dorming

This happened last spring and again this fall. CSULB took my Federal Pell Grant and Cal Grant and put it all towards my housing this semester. Before the money even got to my account they paid my housing up until NOVEMBER leaving me no money for books, supplies, dorm essentials etc. My current availability doesn't allow for me to work and do school at the same time and as of right now, Financial aid was my only means of income and I would budget it for the entire semester and even have some for the second semester in the year.

Has this happened to anyone else that dorms? What should I do?
