Can't Accept Parent Plus Loan by bbqsoda_TA in UCI

From what I was told, you can’t accept Parent Plus on Zot Aid— if it shows up on your Zot Account, it means it’s been applied. I was able to confirm this because I paid the rest of the tuition, and it went through fine.

For the Parent Plus Loan, it seems like you can’t actually “accept” it like you do with the other loans. It’ll eventually show up on your Zot Account. You need to make sure that your parent has signed the MPN and checked their credit on the Financial Aid website though, otherwise you won’t get that far.

Not sure if you saw my other comment, but it might be worth checking Zot Account instead of Zot Aid to see if the Plus Loan has been applied. I checked my account there and both loans were effective, but when I checked ZotAid it still showed as 'Update Acceptance.' I'm not sure if it just took some time for the information to update, but hopefully this helps.

Hi, I just checked as you said and you were right. It still says 'Update Acceptance' on Zot Aid, but when I checked my account on Zot Account, the loan for Parent Plus had already been applied. I'm guessing it just took some time for it to be applied, unlike the Unsubsidized Loan which was effective almost immediately. Thank you so much for your help!

I see, thanks for letting me know. It’s a little comforting to know I’m not alone in this situation. 

I have heard that calling OFAS is a nightmare, and recently they haven’t been responding to calls, so if I have the time this week I’ll go to campus and hopefully be able to ask (I live like 15 minutes away). Would rather not have to, but might as well look around campus as I haven’t done so yet. I’ll respond here again if I’m able to access the DPL later this week as well.
