Financial Aid HELP!

<p>My pending aid has disappeared today when i checked. my pending aid exceeded what i owed. also the 2010 Fall Quarter box is gone in my financial aid summary.... theres no info (Outstanding Charges and Pending Financial Aid )?? and when i click on "charges due" it says "i have no outstanding charges at this time." but when i check salliemae account it says i owe around $7000 and my pending finaid was around $8000 before it disappeared. so did my financial aid disburse? i'm lost can someone help me? theres no way my parents can pay $7000 before the deadline which is sept.16! i tried calling the financial aid office but couldn't get a hold of them. i will call them again tomorrow morning at 8am.</p>

<p>1) Stop panicking. I believe you posted in the other thread, yes? I already explained half of what you’re freaking out over. Relax.</p>

<p>2) There is going to be a delay. Sallie Mae is a third party and not operated by UCSC. Any payments made there will take time to show up on your portal and vice versa. Sallie Mae has not yet received the report that your financial aid has been dispersed to cover your remaining balance. Do not worry about what Sallie Mae says, all that matters is your portal right now.</p>

<p>3) I’m not sure how to make this more clear. Your account says “no outstanding charges at this time.” It means what it says: your fall 2010 bill is paid in full. If you have money coming from financial aid that exceeded what you owed, then you will receive it either in the form of a check to your address listed or, if you set it up, in the form of a direct deposit to your checking account. This will take time! It is not immediate.</p>

<p>TL;DR: Your bill is paid. You owe nothing right now. Any excess will come to you when it comes to you. Stop panicking because you have nothing to worry about at this time.</p>

<p>Kender- Thanks for the information and the help. I just called the financial aid office and they said my bill has been paid. i will stop panicking now!</p>

<p>Kender, as always, is totally correct! The disbursement date for Fall 2010 financial aid was yesterday, September 15. :)</p>
