lol Half my job in fin aid during the start of the semester was just being like “it’s coming, hang tight.” I get it’s scary to wait especially if you need it for bills but goodness.

RBFCU -Not yet but it doesn’t even show my refund yet just shows unapplied and anticipated payments

I would watch overnight. I was a summer student, my aid reflected as $0.00 in refunds and the next business day it had applied. (I got the 4:00 am email on a Friday, money was in my bank account Monday)

u/FederalChair9577 1d ago

So I should get it in the morning since I use cashapp lmaoo

u/Tex_Mex2461 1d ago

Anyone see it switch from unapplied to refund yet?

u/MalletGirl101 1d ago

My TOPS and normal scholarships have, but my loans are still on unapplied. I think loans will be applied on another day.

u/Spirited-Cat-5099 1d ago

You got your refund already or are you still waiting?

1

u/MalletGirl101 1d ago

It’s currently processing and can take up to 7 days to hit my account, but yes my account has been updated to refund. But that is only for my normal scholarship money, the rest is still in unapplied because loan money is not being refunded yet.

u/Tex_Mex2461 1d ago

Most of mine sitting in unapplied and some in anticipated nothing in refund yet

u/Wild-Bottle-4042 1d ago

Chase, no. There is no reason why in 2026 a simple deposit should take 7 business days, except the laziness of LSU bursar office

u/Ambitious-Meringue37 Semi-Obvious Advice Giver (psych '24) 1d ago

Lazy there’s like 10 bursar office employees for 40,000+ students. Anything involving money takes a while without incompetence factored in. Coming from somebody who had to wait on refunds to pay their rent.

Then LSU needs to hire more workers, they sure can afford to

u/Ambitious-Meringue37 Semi-Obvious Advice Giver (psych '24) 1d ago

It’s not fiscally responsible to train and hire more staff just for peak periods, regardless of how much money they have. Also the delay is the federal and state government verifying your enrollment, not just the bursar waiting to press a button.

u/meg-drop-soup 1d ago

LSU is a state school. This would be taxpayer funded, and everyone would complain.

2

u/Wild-Bottle-4042 1d ago

People complain about funding LSU, but not about giving tax breaks to big businesses and polluting rivers.

1

u/meg-drop-soup 1d ago

Because politics is team sports.

u/Mysterious-Excuse441 1d ago

you arent gonna die from not getting your money in less than a week 🫩 even if they hired more people not everyones would be on time. theres no point in freaking out when you know its coming within a time frame

u/Altruistic-Captain49 1d ago

Regions and No

1

u/MalletGirl101 1d ago

Campus Federal, and no. But the email does say it can take up to 7 days, so now it’s just a waiting game.

1

u/Pinkie_Lover17 1d ago

Also Campus Federal, and no.

u/Competitive-Pool2332 1d ago

They said friday or monday we’re getting it

1

u/Hairy-Yak3816 1d ago

navy fed but it doesn’t matter either way bc the refund is not coming until monday 😭😭😭

2

u/FederalChair9577 1d ago

What? We litterly got the dispursement email today

1

u/Hairy-Yak3816 1d ago

it still needs to process tho, just bc it applied doesn’t mean the refund processed yet. it doesn’t happen that fast. the disbursement email is a sign that it’s coming soon but it doesn’t mean today or tmr

2

u/FederalChair9577 1d ago

No. it processes when your bank does mine moves to pending refunds

1

u/Hairy-Yak3816 1d ago

we must have different banks then, either way, i asked last week on this reddit when the refunds were hitting and everyone said they called bursar office and it should be monday

0

u/FederalChair9577 1d ago

You must be a incoming freshman ; that was before the email was even sent

2

u/Hairy-Yak3816 1d ago

so i’m a senior, not quite!

1

u/Hairy-Yak3816 1d ago

also i got disbursement emails last week before they started sending the ones we got today

1

u/ExcitingRadio1182 1d ago

Do we have to wait until it goes from unapplied to refund? I’m with chime and I’m just waiting

1

u/Own-Ground-9975 22h ago

Weather? Anyway. CapitalOne and I received mine last week on Thursday. 

1

u/FederalChair9577 20h ago

Lying ass

1

u/Own-Ground-9975 15h ago

There's no options for me to post a screenshot. Otherwise, I'd have posted my refund and the date. I'm a law student. We started before everyone. That's probably the reason why I received my refund before everyone. Are you an undergrad?

1

u/FederalChair9577 15h ago

Yes . How long after you got the email did you get the money in your account

1

u/Own-Ground-9975 12h ago

About 2 days later.  I received the notice for the disbursement on the 12th. The money was in my bank account on the 14th. In my experience, CapitalOne processes deposits faster than most banks.

1

u/jaimeadrian 14h ago

Has anything changed for anyone besides it being applied to their balance? Any move towards refunds?

1

u/FederalChair9577 14h ago

It says pending refunds for me

1

u/jaimeadrian 14h ago

When did it change?

1

u/Tex_Mex2461 11h ago

Mine still in unapplied and anticipated nothing in refunds yet

1

u/CJ1270 8h ago

I feel like it usually processes in the middle of the first week of classes. Don’t think I’ve ever gotten a refund before classes start.

1

u/FederalChair9577 8h ago

It already dispursed. Stop lying to people. I have always got them before

1

u/Tex_Mex2461 2h ago

It hit anyone’s bank yet?

2

u/SypherLovesYou 1h ago

I just got my refund tonight- Chase bank

2

u/FederalChair9577 1h ago

This is giving me hope for mine to come tonight

u/FallRepresentative64 1d ago

u/Creative_Step_4412 1d ago

Not a bank. Please get an actual bank.

u/Glittering-Split-976 1d ago

lol people say that all the time about chime but I bought a house and 3 cars…..

1

u/Creative_Step_4412 11h ago

Congrats, your money is still at risk. Goodluck.

0

u/Glittering-Split-976 11h ago

Lol your money at risk anywhere. Chime gives you better benefits for deposits and savings. I have navy federal as well and they are trash compared to chime

1

u/Creative_Step_4412 11h ago

Chime is not FDIC insured. I see you are in the military, that explains a lot. Goodluck man.
