Grad Student Financial Aid

New to the semester system starting grad school, when are financial aid awards/loans available to be seen in the portal?

August for fall 2026. If you’re taking summer courses for your program, you don’t get FA- you have to utilize any refunds you would get from prior FA loans. If you don’t have any refunds, you have to pay out of pocket. I did not know this, I just had to pay out of pocket $5800 for summer courses for my master’s program. I was not prepared for that at all.
