financial aid

<p>I've a question about stafford loan. Do I have to sign promissory note after I accepted stafford loan?</p>

<p>You approve your Stafford loan on your eFAN. You then go to <a href="http://opennet.salliemae.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://opennet.salliemae.com&lt;/a> to complete your Stafford loan (you cannot accept the Stafford loan without completing this step). At that website, you electronically sign your MPN (master promissory note). (At this point, you have sucessfully accepted your Stafford loan and wait for approval and the first disbursement - 09/18.)</p>

<p>how we know if they have processed our loans? i've done all the forms and sent them all in through mail.</p>

<p>Well you can call them. (<a href="http://www.fao.ucla.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.fao.ucla.edu&lt;/a> --> about us --> Student Loan Services) </p>

<p>Anyway, I can see the status of my loans on opennet. So far, for status I've noticed "waiting for first disbursement" or something to that liking. I called a few days ago and was notified that as long as my MPN/SallieMae application/whatever was in, I would be alright. (The loans person told me that they had my MPN stuff and that I was OKAY.)</p>

"Your eFAN specifies grant, loan and work-study funds awarded, as well as any scholarship funds received by the University at the time the eFAN is generated. You</a> must accept or decline each type of financial aid awarded. If you have been awarded a grant or scholarship that is not included in your eFAN, indicate the amount and source in the award section of your eFAN prior to returning it."

Did you mark something as undecided? None of my options are undecided at this point and I cannot find the "generate efan" button but I recall clicking through the eFAN thing after logging in and noticing that button.</p>

<p>If you have any questions about your financial aid or your “My FAO” information please contact the Financial Aid Office at <a href="mailto:finaid@saonet.ucla.edu">finaid@saonet.ucla.edu</a> or call 310-206-0400. </p>

<p>If you're having such difficulty with it, you can just call them and ask them to change it for you.</p>

<p>if its your first loan make sure you guys also complete the online debt management session too. emmeline posted it loong time ago.</p>

<p>the only payment we are responsible for on bar is the "max credit card payment allowed" right?</p>

<p>Under "Aid Available to Pay Fees" is it supposed to be a negative number?</p>

<p>Right Jason. (Don't forget to pay for your housing separately.) </p>

<p>nikkei325i: Click on the MCCPA link and it'll show you that it's subtracting available aid from the amount due to give you your MCCPA.</p>

<p>Alright, I think I get it now.</p>

<p>Why do they have billing periods for each month?</p>

<p>for random fees. orientation, those instructional unit fees, etc</p>

<p>where do we do the debt management classes. I think i did it already but im not sure.</p>
