Financial Aid Disbursement

<p>Hey guys, from what I understand, our financial aid will be disbursed on the 17th? I'm checking my financial aid info and it says that as of now, only my direct sub loan has been disbursed. I accepted my cal grant and pell grant but for some reason they have not been disbursed. Is this normal? Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>how do you check when they will be disbursed? I’m trying to find the dates for mine but can’t find anything :/</p>

<p>hey philosoup!</p>

<p>we def need to link up!</p>

<p>How do you check what has been dispersed?</p>

<p>hey long time no talk kittychen. go to ursa and click View Financial Aid Awards and Summary on URSA.</p>

<p>Mine are also not disbursed. It’s still 0.00. what about you kitty and rudy?</p>

<p>Philosoup, do your federal loans get disbursed directly into your bank account first or are they automatically used to pay your tuition?</p>

<p>analgesia look at your financial aid award and summary on ursa. it should say if it’s been disbursed</p>

<p>I get the same thing as you Philosoup. Maybe it’s because the grants come from school or the state whereas the loans come from the federal gov’t. Anyway, it’s likely that our grants will be disbursed until the 17th. </p>

<p>On another note, my Provisional Award letter for this year now shows a higher estimated financial aid amount and cost of attendance. Before it was $31,999 and now it shows $32,781. I’m guessing it’s due to UCLA fees increasing this year. Will we get the extra financial aid? I sort of doubt it since we’ve accepted a certain amount of aid already. I’m thinking about calling the FAO on Monday to ask.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply TedBell. </p>

<p>Yeah this is what it says on the site: Financial Aid will disburse to your BruinBill account on the evening of September 17, 2012 and viewable on your BruinBill account the following business day September 18, 2012.</p>

<p>Any funds remaining after the BruinBill balance has been paid will be refunded to you by the Student Accounts Office. BruinDirect Refunds will be available in your account September 18-20 (depending on your banking institution). If you do not have BruinDirect, you should receive your refund check by end of first week October 6th. Please contact Student Accounts Office at (310) 825-9194 to inquire about the status of your refund check.

<p>Isn’t the provisional one the one we got when we were accepted? The one I got like last month is actually lower than the provisional. I’m guessing you qualify for Blue and Gold? Then your aid should be adjusted so you will be able to cover your costs.</p>

<p>mine is showing a negative number, im guessing that is my refund.</p>

<p>anyone know what time tonight?</p>

<p>supposedly at 6 pm sharp</p>

<p>6:04 and still no sign.</p>

<p>same here…</p>

<p>Its ok, if your bruinbill shows a negative or 0 number your fine. Paying for housing gives you a couple days lay period. It wasn’t really ever a big problem for my last year.</p>

<p>Okay so now it says my grants have been disbursed and on cashnet it says the refund has been made but I don’t see any money on my bank acct.</p>

<p>Philosoup, if you read the print on bruinbill, it says it takes up to 5-7 business days for the transaction to be processed. You should probably expect it in 2 days at the least.</p>

<p>@analgesia thanks a lot. my bruinbill acct even has a receipt number for the refund so I was thinking it should’ve been deposited into my acct by now.</p>

<p>scholarships and grant are disbursed, but not loans. does anyone know why?</p>

<p>Got my refund in my acct. at midnight on the 18/19</p>

<p>They sent an email to me this morning about the bruinbill refund deposited, and the refund is in my account too.</p>
