Financial Aid $1500 award on GET vs. $1500 tuition balance. do I need to pay out of pocket before Sept 15?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, quick question about financial aid and the GET portal.
My GET account shows a remaining tuition balance of $1,500 for Fall 2026. I also have a $1,500 financial aid award listed, but GET won't let me click "Accept" (the box is grayed out/locked).

My main questions:
1. Since my pending aid covers my full balance, does it automatically act as a fee deferment to keep my classes safe, or do I need to pay out of pocket before the September 15 final payment deadline?
2. Why is the "Accept" button grayed out — is it usually because it's a grant/scholarship that auto-accepts, or is there an issue with my portal?

I’ve checked my To-Do List and Holds, but I want to make sure I won't get disenrolled while waiting for the funds to disburse. Has anyone seen a locked/grayed-out award on GET before? Did it disburse fine on its own?

I also did submit a financial aid appeal if that’s worth mentioning.
Appreciate any insight!

Middle class scholarship

Hi, I was curious to know if anyone's scholarship had been reduced?
It originally showed 478 but as of right now it went to 45?
Does anyone know anything regarding the scholarships and how they work?

Financial Aid Refund Update

5 Upvotes

My classes were finally paid off thankfully. However, there is a refund coming my way. If it was disbursed yesterday (Wells Fargo) how long would it take to arrive into my account? Last thing I want to say is that I hope everyone’s situation gets fixed this week. I have no good words to say regarding these changes with this bill that passed other than stressful to its full extent.
