when do we get our financial aid?

<p>do we get our fin. aid (stafford loan) on our one card/student expense accounts? and when do we get them, does anyone know?</p>

<p>I was also curious about this one.</p>

<p>Also, if we don't get it before classes, is there a way to get books without the money?</p>

<p>I have direct deposit set up, and I really could use the money to help move to Chapel Hill. Am I screwed?</p>

<p>What does direct deposit do? I looked at the form but I didn't understand it.</p>

<p>Direct deposit moves the money to your personal bank account; otherwise, it stays in your student account and you'll need to pay your bills from there OR get a check from the university cashier. </p>

<p>To check to see if the money is in your student account, log in to student central - <a href="http://studentcentral.unc.edu/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://studentcentral.unc.edu/&lt;/a> - and scroll down to the "CASHIER SERVICES" section.</p>
