<p>Financial aid is supposed to be disbursed today on the 13th. My BAR still says my student account balance is $3800 even though I'm supposed to have enough financial aid to cover it. Has anyone had their account balance changed to $0 or know if they have received their financial aid?</p>
<p>My BAR balance is changed to 0 – that happened a while ago – but I haven’t received any refunds to my checking account. I was hoping that would come in today. I don’t even know if my Bruin Direct went through? Wondering if it’s just me.</p>
<p>I’m also receiving heavy financial aid and my BAR balance is still $3,955.32 as I’m typing this right now.</p>
<p>It says what you were suppose to pay but you actually pay the “maximum amount if credit”. So if you have zero on that then you owe then nothing. However if your fin aid doesn’t cover it all, then they’ll show like $300 or $400.</p>

<p>what if i already signed up for BruinDirect last year? Do i have to submit another one for this year or is it still valid from last year?</p>
<p>@conn1ex3: it is still valid</p>
<p>FAO said aid would be disbursed the evening of the 13th and viewable the next morning.</p>
<p>what if I signed up for bruindirect a little late? would they send me a check or still directly put the money in my account?</p>
<p>Just to be sure, my balance is also $3955.32, but under the “Amount Due” it says “Maximum Credit Card Payment Allowed” which is 0. </p>
<p>So that means my financial aid took care of it? I don’t want to be dropped from my classes ;</p>
<p>@abc0123 Check your online bank account (if your bank has such a feature) to see if a direct deposit is set up. If you can’t find that information out from a website then either call the bank or go in person, they should be able to tell you if a direct deposit has been set up yet. If it has then you’re good to go, if not you’ll probably get a check.</p>
<p>yes andrizzle, you are fine.</p>
<p>for mine it just payed the tuition fees and it says a negative amount of the extra money im being awarded…how does this transfer to my bank account? i went 5 weeks ago to sign up for bruin direct…how do i check if i have it?</p>
<p>i’m sorry but just to double check… if it says maximum credit card payable amount is 0, then i’m good to go? that means I got my financial aid right?</p>
<p>ok my student balance is now $0.00. Now how do I know how much to pay for housing because it doesn’t tell you how much to pay in the housing website. It just say’s to enter your own amount.</p>
<p>my student balance says -$3…
WTH i’m confused…</p>
<p>A negative amount on your BAR means you will be receiving a refund for that amount either by check or Bruin Direct.</p>
<p>Finally paid~</p>
<p>Classic last-minute behavior from UCLA FA but they always come through.</p>
<p>k so i’m suppose to receive a refund in my bank… did any1 receive theirs in their bank yet?</p>
<p>OOH. but there’s nothing showing up under refund activity. does that just mean i have to wait until tomorrow for things to process?</p>
