What happens if I miss a disbursement date on the disbursement schedule or if my class hasn't started yet?

To be eligible for each disbursement that is scheduled, you must have completed your financial aid application and have it reviewed by the financial aid department. If you complete your file after that, your disbursement, if eligible, will be issued during one of the following makeup disbursement dates.  Any classes that start after the first week of the semester, will be disbursed AFTER the class(es) have begun.  Your financial aid will disburse for those classes on or after the date it begins.  View the schedule below for the earliest disbursement AFTER your courses begin.

See Student Success Completion Grant (SSCG) for details on when this is awarded and disbursed. 

 

What additional details do I need to be aware of?

  • Federal Pell Grants are divided into two (2) disbursements each fall and spring semesters (depending on when your file is processed and the number of units you are in at the time of disbursement).

  • If you reduce your attendance after your first disbursement, you may end up owing money back.

  • Depending on your eligibility, if you increase your attendance status, (e.g., go from half-time to three-quarter time), you may be eligible for additional funds. Adjustments are made on or after the 8th week of the semester.

  • Fall disbursements are contingent upon remaining Federal Pell Grant eligibility and meeting the SAP standards.

  • Please refer to the financial aid terms of offer for additional financial aid information.

Why didn't I receive all my Federal Direct Loan disbursements?

  • First-time Federal Direct Loan borrowers must wait 30 days from the first day of the scheduled start date(s) of classes for their loan to be disbursed. If this date does not fall on one of the scheduled disbursement dates, please refer to the Federal Direct Loan scheduled disbursement dates above for the next available dates that the loans may disburse.
  • Federal Direct Loans are disbursed once each semester. However, if you are attending only one semester of the award year, your direct subsidized and unsubsidized loan(s) will each be divided in half and paid in two disbursements. The second disbursement will be at the midpoint of the semester.
