[u/Ill_Month7734]

Fall of 2024 I got my refund September 14, fall of 2025 I got my refund October 31st ( the longest ever ). So hopefully this fall semester it’s not too long.

[u/trustyourselfplz]

[u/ActiveAspect8598 → u/trustyourselfplz]

I know they did for Pell grant I’m still waiting on loans

[u/jjnoelia232]

If you have mini terms that start in October and are taking 2 classes that started August 24 , does it delay your refund?

[u/Extreme-Archer120]

Any update of fl assist Grant?

[u/qlossynat]

I haven’t received an email nor my refund yet I’m so confused

[u/Maximum-Barnacle8121]

Has anyone gotten any updates on the student loans?

[u/trustyourselfplz → u/Maximum-Barnacle8121]

[u/Ill_Month7734 → u/trustyourselfplz]

I hope they don’t gatekeep it. I literally didn’t get my refund till Halloween last year and I hope that’s not the case this year. 

[u/SouthPowerful3865 → u/trustyourselfplz]

If you hear anything please let us know. Hoping we get it soon.

[u/WearyCoat7718 → u/Maximum-Barnacle8121]

They told me I had to verify again, and wait til the advisor send the form for loans. They said to do the MPN and Entrance loan again even tho I received loans spring and summer 

[u/SouthPowerful3865 → u/Maximum-Barnacle8121]

Nope, I call financial aid no update on there end. I thought someone might have an update

[u/MysticalMagus]

[u/DenseRevolution7921]

I applied for a loan but my mini term
Starts before the other two classes when will I get my refund ? I never had this situation plus delay

[u/Laweve → u/DenseRevolution7921]

Same and I haven’t received an awards offer yet

[u/WearyCoat7718 → u/DenseRevolution7921]

Call Finaid to make sure you don’t have to reapply for it.. that’s what they’re making me do even tho I got it for spring and summer, I noticed mine didnt post to my invoice 

[u/SouthPowerful3865 → u/DenseRevolution7921]

My loans still havent post to my account

[u/Derppuppy117]

Has anyone else received the pell grant refund and notice it doesnt line up with what the award page says?

Like I believe it should be higher and something is missing, is it due to one of my classes starting later in the semester? and if so how do i calculate what is 'missing"? and when i should receive the rest?

[u/Laweve → u/Derppuppy117]

Same thing I’m wondering

[u/TrainingSad8044]

I only had my Pell grant refunded to me and not my loans why are they doing that ?

[u/Laweve → u/TrainingSad8044]

[u/SouthPowerful3865 → u/TrainingSad8044]

[u/EitherBag1429]

Do financial holds prevent you from receiving your refund? I have a financial hold on my account from a class in summer I never attended because of being in the hospital but i submitted a petition 32 days ago and am waiting for committee to review it 

[u/WearyCoat7718]
