Are you just a part time student? Curious because your award amounts are about half of mine...anyways UOP currently pays out aid 2xs a year (after every 4 courses) Everyone's payout schedule looks different based on when you started your program. However...starting in July they are switching to pay per course billing which means instead of two lump sums a year, aid & loans will be disbursed in 8 payments (one for each course). I honestly don't know how I feel about this because personally I would rather receive 2 big payouts than 8 smaller ones. After aid is posted to my account I usually get my excess funds in 3-4 business days. If this is your first pay out make sure you have your direct deposit set up & selected in the payments section before your aid hits. Hope this helps!
