<p>I got my aid package back in March, and it was just loans. I had the loan conference thing in my financial aid to do list. I emailed the office to see if I had to do it if I was going to decline my loans, and I found out that I don't. So I declined my loans and as soon as I did it, it showed that I was getting no aid but was still on the received package page. However, the next time I checked, it said that my FA package is not ready. It's not a huge problem because I already know I'm not getting anything, but I'm really confused because I already got it and declined it. The loan conference is also still in my to do list. I haven't seen this happen to anybody else - is there something wrong or is it just Connect Carolina or something else?</p>
<p>The only thing I could think of is that I received a merit scholarship, but I can't imagine that would have any impact on need-based FA.</p>
