<p>I have a question regarding a school's disbursements on student loans. This is my first year in school (second semester) and I wanted to know how soon a school is required to disburse a student loan. I received a stafford unsubsidized loan. Last semester the financial aid office said there was some problems with their computers and I did not get my loan until week 8 or 9 of a 16 week semester. This semester I have not received my loan yet and I am in week 4. I have checked the federal financial aid website and it already shows my loan as being disbursed as of 2/11/10 and am already accruing interest on it yet have not received the loan. I talked to the financial aid office at the school and they stated I should receive it "some time in April." </p>
<p>Is this legal since I am already accruing interest? Who can I contact since the school does not seem to be of any help?</p>
<p>Thank you for any advice.</p>
