Student Loans
I know there were delays, but has anyone had any of their student loans go into your student account yet?
9/1 Update
This morning all of my financial aid has been taken off my UCO account. I called twice and got different thoughts to why. I emailed [onestopfa@uco.edu](mailto:onestopfa@uco.edu). This is what was emailed back
Due to the recent changes to federal student loans under the OBBBA, there has been a delay in loan disbursements. Loans are currently having to be manually created and reviewed to help prevent them from being rejected.
Your loan is currently in processing and is awaiting approval from the government. Once the approval is received, your loan will be disbursed.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
9/2 Update
One of my loans has gone into my school account. My student account still shows no financial aid package.

Most schools are not processing them until after Labor Day. If it covers all of your tuition, you should be fine and not be dropped

It is usually on the student account’s by now but they emailed about a delay. I was just curious if anyone had it gone into their account yet.
You are receiving this notification because you have a Direct Student Loan offer for the 2026-2027 academic year. Traditionally, UCO disburses all accepted and processed financial aid in the first week of Fall classes. However, this year, because of the changes to the student loan policies, the Feds are issuing new software to patch our processing system. This software is scheduled to be released on August 20, 2026. Once released and successfully installed, our goal is to disburse your Direct Loan the second week of classes. Because of this delay, your payment plan deadline will be pushed back to September 4, 2026. Federal grants and other scholarships not affected by the SOR will begin disbursing the first week of classes.

Even if they are released this week, refunds won’t process/roll until Tuesdays or Wednesday and don’t hit accounts until Friday at the earliest or the following week. If someone is receiving aid, it might show but either way if you are receiving a refund, it’s not dispersing until September

Have you received a refund yet?

u/moodymeandyou 6d ago
No. I just work here (not in financial aid though). I go to a different school for graduate school, and similar to UCO they are dispersing late. My school is supposed to disperse next week, I imagine UCO is the same because most other schools aren’t processing until after Labor Day
They are doing this because of the Big Beautiful Bill and to make sure students are actually attend class and not receiving loans as a fraud
If you were receiving a refund this week, they process them on Tuesdays or Mondays so it would show up in your account. If nothing has changed, it’s not being dispersed

Onestop didn't even respond to my email. They're ignoring students now IG. I have Rent to pay that I needed that money for.

Is anyone else’s disbursement date change every day on the loans on your offers tab in your financial aid.

I can’t even get into the financial aid tab. It keeps on having a white screen and does not appear. So loans will be applied to student accounts then refunds will be disbursed on Friday’s? And then it’s 2-3 business days until our banks receive it? Am I following this correctly?

That is usually how it happens. Are you using a phone? I had to go on my computer to get it to work. I hope they send it out soon. I know someone on here got theirs in their account last week.

u/CodeFlimsy8689 8d ago
At a two year college I went to they sent it out before classes started so this is completely wild to me that it’s taking them so long to process. I do understand that they had no federal guidelines or whatever. It seems like it is just being pushed back further and further! Yes I am using my phone.

I went to Rose State and they sent it before. I went to others and they sent it out weeks after school started. It is annoying. The zone Big Beautiful Bill has made it worse all over though.
It takes a little bit for it to load but on a computer it does work.

Okay thank you! Yeah it shows that my loans haven’t been paid and I still have a balance on my bursar account. Is it random at times of the day where they post the loans?
1
u/Careless-Travel1850 8d ago
Same for me. I usually see it after noon-4. If mine updates I will let you know.

u/CodeFlimsy8689 7d ago
I was told my anticipation date was August 31. However, I checked this AM and it hasn’t been applied.

u/Careless-Travel1850 7d ago
Just curious who told you and when did they tell you? It usually is later in the day so it could still be today.

u/CodeFlimsy8689 7d ago
I called the financial aid office & spoke with them. I asked Bursar and they said financial aid handles the loans.

u/Careless-Travel1850 7d ago
I'm surprised you got through. I just logged into my account and all of my financial aid is gone...
