<p>hey, i got a student loan from discover, and i haven’t received my disbursement yet either, but everything else is disbursed. i think i’ll call them tomorrow morning to find out what happened. i’m 99% sure i did everything i needed to do :/</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat. My scholarship has been deposited into my BAR account and I have $450 left over that they are going to direct deposit into my personal bank account. Still no word on my two Stafford loans! I signed the MPN and they should be ready to go but I have no idea why I’m not getting those yet.</p>
<p>Do they need to be disbursed into my BAR account first and then to me or will they bypass the BAR account because my balance due is $0.00??</p>
<p>OK…I called the loan office and they told me to call the lender. So I called the lender and it turns out that I was missing the MPN.</p>
<p>Call your lender to see what’s the hold up. The loans and other financial aid should be disbursed at the same time.</p>
<p>so is it official that the cost of the yr is 22k instead of 26k?</p>
<p>Did anyone get an email that the refunded money will go to their bank account via Bruin Direct?
I didn’t receive one, but I know someone who did. Another has the money into his account already.
Should I be worried?</p>
<p>i called my lender today and they said that my account is fine, and it was ucla that was putting the hold on my loan.
so i called ucla and they said they’re having problems right now and it should be fixed this evening and i should call back tomorrow if its not… currently my loan still hasn’t been disbursed :/</p>
<p>curtains…i got that same email…they said i should receive my refund in 3 days.</p>
<p>*Hi Nvasquez, the cost $22k is what I saw on a letter sent by housing service to me on Sep 8. So at least if you’re living in a plaza triple room with 14 B meal plan, that should be the cost! </p>
<p>*Curtains, I got the email today but I haven’t seen the money in my bank account yet! It says it’ll take a maximum of three business days for them to transfer it.</p>
<p>Well, then it sounds like my stafford loans are either not going to disburse this quarter or they will make another transfer later this week. I sincerely hope they could just cancel my loan cuz I don’t need it anymoreee!</p>
<p>OMG I’m having the exact same problem. My lender already said it disbursed on the 11th but my BAR account still has not been cleared yet. I did everything- MPN, the loans quiz, etc. and I don’t know what’s the hold up. I called my lender and they told me to ask UCLA why my loans aren’t disbursed yet. I called at like 10 am and the financial aid office was closed even though it said that it was open 9am to 5pm. Ah, this is ridiculous!</p>
<p>I haven’t received anything yet. Granted, I sent my Bruin Direct slip in pretty late (two weeks ago).</p>
<p>Does this mean I’m getting it in check form? :|</p>
<p>^ yes, you will be getting a check.</p>
<p>i usually say relax and roll my eyes, but it’s close to the beginning of school so you should all be worried if you ain’t got no money</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>someone post the email?</p>
<p>Titled: Bruin Direct deposit made</p>

<p>[ From what I can tell, the refund was already in my account on the 16th. I don’t think I checked on the 15th, and I haven’t checked if it’s <em>really</em> in my account. ]</p>
<p>My refund has been deposited in my account. So looks like it’s working.</p>
<p>My grants and scholarships were just deposited too, but still waiting on my loans =/</p>
<p>wait so how do we pay for housing??? with the money refunded back to our account… we use that to pay off housing? im confused.</p>
<p>What I meant was that all the financial aid you get is first used to pay off your BAR, then any leftover money gets deposited into your bank account (you get mailed a paper check if you didn’t sign up for BruinDirect already).</p>
<p>Since your BAR and Housing Account are 2 separate accounts, I’m pretty sure that your financial aid doesn’t directly cover your housing payments, but I could be wrong. I’m just using the refunded money that was sent to my bank account to pay it off.</p>
<p>Yup, it’d be advisable to use your remaining funds to pay off the housing fees. I’m doing that but I have to check if I can still get a loan, seeing that I can’t afford the first quarter…</p>
<p>alright, that’s what i thought. Thanks guys! :)</p>
<p>I wouldn’t be worry if I was from Socal area. Could just drive home and get it. </p>
<p>Anyway, thanks everyone! I called SFS and my refund check is mailed already.</p>
