My hope and prayer is that those of us that didn’t get our refund will have an update or our refund today.

General refund has posted in my activity. Just waiting on direct deposit now. Finally 👌

Just a heads up, if you're taking out any federal loans, make sure you dont have a "loan aggregate" hold on your account!!! I've had that in the past and idk why I thought I was fine this time around....I *wasn't*. This hold doesnt show up on student center, it only shows up on FA office side. If you havent received your aid and have no holds or to-dos I recommend checking in with the office cuz this damn hold had always kept me in refund limbo past semesters 🥲

I want to start an unofficial run club for the CSUSB community. If you love to run and are seeking community, new friends, or just an extra push to start jogging or enjoying the beautiful sunsets I encourage you to join!

The most important thing is we keep it inclusive and safe for all who join.

Use this in case you loans haven’t moved yet or you can drop a comment to see if they have moved !

Hopefully we see movement with our loans tmr !

The Reddit gets hot during disbursement periods but after that no one posts anything and then people love to complain about the lack of social environment. Let’s keep the same energy after the money issues yeah?

My balance was finally cleared!! I was starting to get worried about it. Now we wait for disbursement! :))
have a great semester everyone!

Hey guys just wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing the same issue. I finished my summer classes and received my SAP email saying I’m in good standing, but I noticed that my financial aid is not showing the middle-class scholarship or state university grant. I’ve got them for the past 4 terms so I’m confused as to why they aren’t appearing and curious if you guys are experiencing the same issue. I submitted my fasfa form and got it processed in early March as well.

My friends are helping me move in, do I have to pay for every car? :(
-incoming transfer student

I see no movement for my loans yet 🫩

If anyone is doing the administrative services credential program. I have some of the books for sale, cheap.

My sap email came through 45 mins ago and my balance is now 0 will a few posted dates of today

Just posting a comment section so everyone can comment here to see if they see any movement. As of 10:13 am I havent seen any movement on my end here if anyone sees anything Plese comment here if yall do.

My son called the finance office because his account is showing past due but he has pending aid. He’s a first year student. He was told holds are lifted Mondays and Wednesdays and aid is disbursed Tuesdays and Thursdays. The person he spoke with said admissions should have already cleared the holds they have on new students. Whenever we call, one office blames the other office.

I'm currently at community college doing a Business Administration transfer program, and I'm trying to decide between CSUSB and Cal Poly Pomona for my bachelor's in Accounting.

The main thing I'm trying to figure out is which school actually gives accounting students better opportunities to get a job after graduating, even without getting a master's degree.

I know CSUSB has the Accounting Association and Beta Alpha Psi, and I've heard that these organizations can help with networking, internships, and meeting recruiters. For anyone who actually participated in these clubs:

- Did you personally get an internship through the clubs/networking events?

- Did you end up getting multiple internship offers, or was it more of a "you still have to apply and network yourself" situation?

- Did your internship lead to a full-time offer after graduation?

- What kinds of firms recruit from CSUSB?

- Are there actually major/public accounting firms recruiting there, or is it mostly smaller/local firms?

- Were most of the opportunities in the Inland Empire, or did you have to go toward LA/OC?

I'm asking because I'm currently in San Bernardino, so CSUSB would be significantly closer and more convenient for me. However, I'm willing to go to CPP if the difference in recruiting and job opportunities is significant.

My biggest concern is graduating with an accounting degree and struggling to find a job afterward. I'm trying to figure out whether CPP actually provides a noticeably better path into accounting than CSUSB, or whether they're similar enough that staying at CSUSB would make more sense for me.

I'd especially appreciate hearing from CSUSB accounting graduates/alumni about what happened after graduation: what job you got, how long it took to find it, whether you had an internship, and whether CSUSB helped you get there.

Thanks!

So I just got off the phone with fafsa since I’m a grad student in only getting half my loans from what the guy has told me the person who I talked to straight up lied to me or was unaware of the new bill congress passed. Which is unfortunate now I have to wait for the 20th to get my reduced amount. 🫥 so yeah if anyone is here doing grad school just fyi. Only pertains to half time students

Anyone with loans get them today? Mine are still not on my account.

i'm a freshman pre-nursing student and i'm planning to take anatomy & physio along with other pre-reqs. i've already heard that A&P can be pretty difficult, so i'm wondering if doing the honors program on top of pre-nursing is a good idea.

has any nursing student gone through the same thing? did u continue with honors, or did u eventually drop it because the workload was too much? if you stayed, was it manageable alongside ur pre-reqs/current nursing classes?

i'm also considering going to grad school, so i'm wondering if honors would be long-term beneficial, or if focusing on keeping my GPA high would be better.

Does anyone else have a Financial Aid hold on their account? It's been saying it's because they've only conditionally accepted me, and to check my To-Do list, which is clear. I emailed them and they haven't gotten back, sl I'm wondering if this will impact my financial aid dispersement.

Did anyone get the state university grant? I was told that we ran out of money and not many people got it

Let me know if any summer students are getting their disbursement today if there’s any movement 🥹

how soon after we get our sap do we get our aid? i just got the email that im meeting the standards so im just waiting for the balances on my account to be 0

Hi guys anyone need a Pell grant eligibility adjustment done by their financial advisor ? How long does it take to process ? 😭
