<p>The reason I am asking this is because I am going to rent an apartment outside and I can't afford to pay without the grant money. Hence I really need to know whether if UCR will distribute financial early. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>
<p>it usually gets disbursed around the first week. If you have a bank account make sure you do direct deposit or else you’ll have to wait longer until they send your check.</p>
<p>Thank you for answering! 
and sorry for asking one more question, but do you khow how to connect UCR to my bank account?</p>
<p>Hi teobeo! You can connect UCR to your bank account on GROWL. Go to GROWL and you’ll see an option called “Direct Deposit” towards the bottom of the left-hand menu. You can set it up there, but do it at soon as possible because it takes a few weeks for the system to process things and do banking stuff.</p>
<p>Thank you elisebear! I’ll make sure to do that right away :)</p>
<p>Hey, has anyone gotten their summer financial aid yet? Or does anyone know when they are supposed to be distributed? I have three different dates: June 25, 29 and July 1st. The 25th has passed, what should I put my money on?</p>
<p>Distribution started on the 25th, but it might take a few days to process completely. If you don’t have anything by the end of next week, call the financial aid office.</p>
<p>Yeah the financial aid for summer school is really lagging it this time.
It took until today for them to officially “pay” for all summer charges. Still waiting on them to disburse my refund through direct deposit, hopefully by tomorrow…I have to pay my first month’s rent by SUNDAY!!</p>
<p>@doin: What do you mean put your money on? Lol.</p>
