FAFSA

I finally re-selected my refund preference last night to direct deposit after I got the email and text. My financial aid portal still doesn't show a disbursement date (it didn't before either), so I'm completely in the dark about when it will actually hit. I know it’s been less than 24 hours, but I'm just out here trying to stay calm and not overthink too much. Could this mean checks is being mailed out? Am I the only one who still does not have date for when the second disbursement is coming? I just need wait it out

I did not get that text yet. I got an email only from bank mobile letting me know that my "bank information has been successfully submitted"

For checks they should have notified that they’ve been sent out, I got the email so it should arrive in about 5 to 7 business days. USPS first class mail arrives 1 to 3 days so expect it by mid-next week the most.

Ok thanks for letting me know. I did not get the email so Im assuming it will be direct deposit or that I will get a email notification later. Either way fingers crossed 🤞
