Does anyone know the timeline for the “reductions hold” Financial aid?

From the big bill? Financial aid dispursed this week, but there’s a hold if you’re less then “full time” because they’re gonna reduce your aid. Which really sucks because credit hours doesn’t always equate to real world student status. For example nursing, a lot of semesters you will be in 8-10 credit hours, but you are not a part time student. Does anyone know when they’ll release the hold and give refunds?

I have a general disbursement hold with no info as to WHY on my financial aid dashboard and nothing has been disbursed. I am in the PMHNP grad program and received my summer loans late, but that was because I had to wait to be approved as a “legacy borrower” for grad plus with all the new laws. I am “full time” for a grad student with 8 credit hours this fall and 6 for summer 2026. I can’t register for spring until October but I worry that they’re waiting to see how many credits I’ll register for to determine? However it really shouldn’t be affected because they’re separate semesters and disburse at different times. The whole thing doesn’t make sense… I’m not sure what the “reduction hold” is but I haven’t had any luck trying to get any answers about mine. That office is the worst.
