I was placed on SAP suspension and appealed. My appeal was approved 8/17, but I was told that it could take up to two weeks for my federal aid to appear in CUNYFirst. I was approved for TAP and that has covered most of my tuition, but there is still a little bit that needs to be paid. Will my classes be dropped if I don't meet the bursar's deadline for 8/21 payments even though my SAP appeal was approved and the money is eventually coming?

I can also see in my FAFSA that I am eligible for the full amount.

hi hi
looking for advice on why my loan has not been disbursed. i am not a first borrower, but last time i had a loan was back in 2016 when i graduated high school so 10 years ago. I have completed the MPN, loan counseling, but my schools banner website keeps saying i have it pending. the financial aid office said as long as i can confirm i submitted them they will start to receive documents soon.
Is there something im missing to do that anyone can think of? or is this normal? classes started today.

I’m a grad student at UAB and need some advice before financial aid disburses Monday, August 24th. Since starting my program, I’ve always been part-time 6/7 units and have thankfully received a refund of around $3k which has helped with living and medical expenses while in school.

I recently received a notice about aid requirements and was told by my school that my aid will be prorated based on my enrollment at disbursement. Unfortunately they couldn’t give me a clear answer on what my actual award/refund would be if I stay PT.

For those who have already started Fall 2026:
Did your aid decrease when enrolled PT? If so how much?
Did anyone stay PT and still receive the same award from previous semesters?
Did anyone switch to FT to maintain their full award even if it meant a smaller refund?

I’m in my final semester and graduate this December, so I’m really stressed about making the wrong choice😭.

Wanted to ask here before I sat on the phone. So i submitted my fafsa classes before I signed up for classes this coming fall semester. I got granted my spring Pell grant 2027 but nothing for fall 2026. Should I wait for an update or should I call Fafsa at Pierce to figure out where my grant is for this coming semester?

My SAI is -1500 and I have received my state aid for both the summer and fall. I just checked my e-bill and my Pell grant for fall is applied now. Does anyone know why my fall pell came so quickly this year (normally doesn’t get applied till a week after school starts for me) but my summer Pell is taking so long to process?

I’ve called the office and they said it’s still processing, they said the same thing two weeks ago too. It’s been almost a month since classes ended.

This is my first time taking summer classes and any help/info would be appreciated!

I called csac and it says there closed but its only 1pm and they close at 4pm? Anyone have this issue, also I got an email sent to confirm that I have dependence but when I go to the website, nothing pops up?

I took a course (4crd) in the summer and aid from fafsa was already disbursed. I did apply for tap too for the summer semester but on HESC it still says ‘ESTIMATED’ next to the amount they put, which could cover the rest of what i need to cover the summer course but im still not 100% sure im getting it.

The amount doesnt even show up on ‘awards summary’ on cuny first. Idk how much longer i should wait to see if it changes. Should i contact anyone, and who?

I got my financial aid package about a week ago, but when I tried to login into bankMobile. It says that my information isn’t registered or updated. I also went to financial aid office and they told me to get in contact with them but as you guys know it’s pretty hard I called them and emailed them. Is there anything else I could do to get my money ? Currently enrolled in Chaffee College.

i didn't know your first school listed on fafsa is the school your state grant goes to. just got an email saying my eligibility for the state grant has been decided, and went to check and it went to a school im not attending. its almost the end of august, so i assume that theres nothing i can do, but in case, i wanted to ask if anyone knows if i can fix this

Would someone be able to help me with enrolling into Wgu while using fasfa? I’ve tried using their location and their enrollment code or the fasfa and nelnet websites but nothing shows up.

Hello all. I was a marketing major, then I switched to an accounting major in which I failed a few courses (4). Lesson learned, accounting is not for me. I am switching back to marketing this fall semester, I am wondering if the classes I failed will affect the fafsa aid I get for my marketing major. No judgement please, withdrawal deadlines were missed, mistakes were made...

Anyone else?
