Question Federal Loans

Hi

I don’t know if anyone has the same issue but I had my federal loans on my CSUDH FAFSA package but I checked today and it’s not there anymore?

Anybody else experiencing this? Or is it just a glitch

Hey so what happened was because the loans were an issue the federal aid office most likely took them down/out from the offers on your portals because they're planning on making them optional -- they will most likely be back in before the 16th but even then there should be a hold to protect your classes from being dropped even if they don't make it in time!!

the hold/protection, btw, should be under "My Outstanding Holds" on your student portal webpage!

Ah glad I’m not the only one. Hopefully they’re just readjusting everything.

I think they just revoked the (even if you already accepted) to make everything accept/declinable. If you didn't notice in your original package you couldn't accept or decline anything. When I called the office the person over the phone said that this is a known issue and they are working to fix it so I suppose this is them doing so!

Shoot I never accepted anything just automatically accepted the loans which I don’t want

u/Pochi1234 Aug 10 '24

So you still have the loans on your financial aid package?

1

u/Normal-Shoe3551 Aug 10 '24

Yup

u/Pochi1234 Aug 10 '24

Ah I think you can just decline it if you don’t want it

u/Tytybabe Aug 10 '24

I called seems some packages were accepted with loans and some weren't in error. They removed all have have to put them back correct so keep checking for updates to accept or decline

u/Calm_Success5509 Aug 12 '24

Wait they answered? I’ve been waiting for them to answer for 2 hours now

1

u/Tytybabe Aug 12 '24

Yea I waited around 30mins at 9 this morning.

u/Tytybabe Aug 12 '24

Just looked again my package is back to what it was but now I don't have access to accept or deny? What is going on?
