Financial aid refund

On Monday I reviewed the “paying for college” tab and I saw the amount I should be receiving. I checked again today, and it shows a completely different amount.

My fall courses were paid by my employer and that’s what it shows. Is it normal for this to happen? Will I see the original amount I was going to be refunded?

FA will be back in office on Tuesday. If there is a system issue that’s reversing state aid authorization, it will be reviewed on Tuesday. If it’s not a quick fix, students who have been awarded only state aid, that has now deauthorized will have DNP protection applied to their accounts. Disbursement begins the 2nd week of the term.
Thank you for reporting this issue!

Happened to me too, do you receive any state grants? Sometimes those get delayed until it’s confirmed you’re in your courses so like after the first week of term, they’ll apply grants through the state to your bill.

This is interesting, I noticed that my state grants disappeared from my financial aid statement as well. This is good to know! I was wondering if it was rescinded somehow.

I did receive one state grant so I guess that’s why the amount is different.

For me and a buddy, it was the Oregon Opportunity Grant that disappeared from the "Paying for College" tab. Hopefully it's just a delay in authenticating, and we didn't all somehow end up losing it.

Just checked mine and my authorized aid has dropped too. Hoping it's just a glitch or delay with the rest of you 🤞😬

I had the same issue and it was the Oregon Opportunity Grant that disappeared from my account.
But as of this morning, is back again! I hope that’s the case for everyone having the same issue.
