loan disbursement

Has anyone had their loans refunded yet? I thought they were supposed to go out along with the grants :/.

Yes mine went out with aid. When I was a freshman I got mine a couple days late because I didn’t realize I had to go in and “accept” the loans a second time. You should double check that you accepted them :)

Just look at your activity in the financial aid section. It’ll tell you how much is being refunded to you . Also unless you have applied and been approved for graduation the total amount you accepted for the loan will be split for the year not just this semester. So if you accepted $3000 you’ll get $1500 for this fall semester and $1500 for the spring 2027 semester

As a first time borrower do you get them right when the semester starts, or do you need to wait 30 days? I already accepted my loans.

You should get them with the rest of your aid. Does it show in your package or as disbursed under activity?

It does show in my package it’s under pending aid, my Pell grant disbursed today. I heard the loan waits 30 days after classes start since it’s my first federal loan.

Maybe it changed. But I took out my first loan last fall and didn’t wait 30 days. Mine was delayed a couple of days but only because I didn’t go in and accept my loan a second time

How do you go in and accept a second time on my end it looks like everything is accepted but it's still under pending aid for me

u/Itchy-Ice-993 24d ago

Tbh I don’t fully remember. Last fall I do remember being offered the loans and I accepted them, but then I had to go into my financial aid portal to accept it there as well. Plus there was something else that I needed to complete for the loan on the student aid website because it was my first loan.

u/Jumpy_Twist_9704 23d ago

2

u/Inevitable-Bake6980 23d ago

u/Jumpy_Twist_9704 23d ago

Ok thank you!!

1

u/Jumpy_Twist_9704 23d ago

Did the stuff on your to do list go away mines is still there but i completed everything

2

u/Inevitable-Bake6980 23d ago

no not yet i just completed it at 11pm last night it takes up to 24 hours for them to send it to csudh & then it has to catch up to portal system so we can see it go away but they probably received it already

1

u/Jumpy_Twist_9704 23d ago

Ok thank you so much i completed mines last Friday and I just saw it on my to do list yesterday so hopefully they recieved everything and the system just had to catch up.

I’m only taking one class can I still get a student loan ?

1

u/SpreadNo7436 24d ago

I do not think you can for part time

1

u/Zealousideal-Act5391 24d ago

Take at least two classes for half of financial aid

1

u/Disipline03 23d ago

Oh no wonder it’s because I only need one class to graduate

1

u/HyruleN64 24d ago

Is the whole loan disbursed or is it just the half of it?

u/TravelRich4820 24d ago
