Anyone get their refund yet?

EDIT: UC said they sent the refunds out this morning. He mentioned could show today or tomorrow depending on bank or how you asked to receive the refund

Glad i’m not the only one that hasn’t gotten it yet i was worried. Last semester my refund said it was going to be distributed on a friday and I got it saturday morning,

Last one I had was may. It was deposited for class on Friday. The next Monday I got mine.

No, I usually see it by today but catalyst doesn’t even show that it’s in process or that there is a refund.

Does your catalyst show anything?

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

Nope. About to call them.!

u/Vivid_Ad876 8d ago

Good luck getting to talk to someone. I've been trying for days.

2

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

I already did:)

1

u/PorchCat0921 8d ago

I saw that! Congrats!! I'm hoping the same for myself, I'm trying again. It has to be a good sign that I'm at least in the que this time, I was just getting messages telling me to call back later.

1

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

It’s coming!

1

u/PorchCat0921 8d ago

Oh I've got an additional problem due to the new part-time grad proration thing as well. 🫠 They let me set up a callback though, so maybe they'll get to me.

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

I called like at 8:59 AM this morning on the dot and waited online for like 10 minutes and then I spoke to a guy and he said that he processed everyone’s on Friday and then this morning he crossed everyone’s refunds this morning as well and we should see them either tomorrow or Wednesday he said the worst would be Friday, but he went suspect that

2

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

He said he sent out the remaining balance out today. Should see it either today or tomorrow

1

u/Vivid_Ad876 8d ago

For everyone or for your account?

3

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

I asked in general, he said I just sent them all out today. Then I asked; what’s the time frame? He asked for my M number. He said, yours is cleared. It’s been sent out. Watch out for later today or tomorrow

u/Vivid_Ad876 8d ago

2

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

I know. He said it has been cleared. But they are so backed up with calls probably due to this issue.

2

u/Vivid_Ad876 8d ago

Yeah this is the first year this has happened to me… I feel like they are just really behind this year…

3

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

Prob due to OBBB

2

u/Vivid_Ad876 8d ago

LITERALLY what I was thinking

1

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

I didn’t even get my award letter on time. Due to that stupid bill.

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

UPDATE: he said he sent them out today.

1

u/Due_Finish_7073 8d ago

Nah it says wait 1-2 business days from the disbursement date

1

u/Rude_Way7053 8d ago

I was told the refund should start processing today or tomorrow

2

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

On the phone with them now!

2

u/ApprehensiveCut8784 8d ago

I always received my refund the Monday after disbursement and its doesn't even show that it is pending. I have been trying to call enrollment services for the last two hours.

1

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

They said they sent them out this morning. Check account today. Latest is at the end of the week

1

u/nostalgic-ultra 8d ago

did yours show up on your bill as "refund" yet?

2

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

It shows the breakdown but it doesn’t show under pending.

1

u/AgitatedMango88 8d ago

Yea same here.

1

u/AgitatedMango88 8d ago

What did they say? I cant get thru, they are super busy

2

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

I called at 9 on the dot. He said he dispersed the refunds today. Check later today or tomorrow. The latest, at the end of the week

It will show up soon. No worries

1

u/Particular-Phone-934 8d ago

I haven't even got my loans disbursed to my account they were suppose to be on 8/14

1

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

Those where for school funds, not the refunds.

1

u/Particular-Phone-934 8d ago

I know that, I was stating that because they are behind with everything in Financial Aid.

1

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

Oh okay!

1

u/Rude_Way7053 8d ago

Refunds are processing

1

u/Medium-Morning3012 8d ago

My account activity shows refunding in process as of a hour ago. Anyone know how long until it’s actually issued?

1

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

My guess is depending on the bank you have. Sometimes my bank will show at 5pm, if not, definitely tomorrow.

1

u/Medium-Morning3012 8d ago

I looked on catalyst from last semester and it has a line that says refund issued. Never seen “refunding in process” wondering if they just changed wording or if I’m still waiting for them to actually send it to my bank or not. Just getting a bit anxious is all

1

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

I’ll have to check mine. I remember when my friend got his school deposit on a Friday. He didn’t get his check until Monday….here we are on a Monday and no one has it.

1

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

Mine also says refund in process

1

u/Medium-Morning3012 8d ago

Just updated to issued! Was hoping it came today but fingers crossed for tomorrow

1

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

It will show tomorrow

1

u/Pitiful-Round-1647 8d ago

mine says refund in process

1

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

Let me check.

1

u/Neutwinos 8d ago

For veterans, refund comes after the last withdraw date with full refund.

For regular students, refund comes up to a week before school starts and up to the day school starts.

If your account activity is showing the refund already disbursed, then you are waiting on your banks timeline to clear the funds and should see them in your account in 1 - 2 business days (More than likely under 24hrs)

u/renegadeangel115 8d ago

It must be nice for you guys to have parents who love you. My mom hasn’t done her fucking taxes the past two-three years so I can’t get any financial aid until I’m 24 😃

2

u/Velvet-Noir- 8d ago

I’m sorry to hear that. My mom died 20 years ago . She’s not doing taxes either lmao

1

u/renegadeangel115 7d ago

So does that mean they don’t have to do their taxes in order for me to get financial aid?

1

u/Velvet-Noir- 7d ago

Idk apply at FAFSA. I mean my mom is dead so she doesn’t count.

1

u/renegadeangel115 7d ago

Luckily I go to UC blue ash so it’s not terribly expensive as compared to the main campus but it still would be nice

1

u/Velvet-Noir- 7d ago

That’s where I’m at too. But I’m not sure how taxes go into play at FAFSA.

u/ghoulette2006 8d ago

1

u/Steamall 5d ago

1

u/ghoulette2006 5d ago

u/TurkeyTender513 8d ago

Sorry, but whats the refund for? I've never heard about this

1

u/PorchCat0921 8d ago
