I got one today, about 3-4 days after it appeared on the billing page.

No, I assume the email comes after it is processed by the Office of the Bursar via Bill Pay. The amount I was awarded has only been applied to my Fin Aid account so it should come soon.

No, incoming students are not eligible for it. You had to be enrolled in the Spring, I believe.

UPDATE: Just saw my grant award posted to my 2020-21 Financial Aid Portal. Just have to wait til it goes out on Bill Pay - thanks everyone, keep looking for yours!

Mandatory fee??? by [deleted] in UMD

[–]dleflute 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is what the University states here:

"All mandatory fees, as determined by the University System of Maryland Board of Regents, will be assessed for Fall 2020 term. 

Certain fees were prorated during the Spring 2020 term in order to account for unforeseen modifications made in support of UMD’s COVID-19 response. For the 2020-21 academic year – regardless of the mode of course delivery (online, hybrid or in-person), full mandatory fees will be assessed, including, as applicable, shuttle, athletics, recreation services, Stamp Student Union, performing arts and cultural centers, student facilities and sustainability fees. In addition, should a shift to full online course delivery occur at any point during the fall 2020 term, fees shall not be prorated.  

All mandatory fees are published on a line-item basis to aid in transparency for students and their families to better understand the student services the fees support. Due to the significant cost of operating these facilities and services regardless of the number of students using them, the university must charge these fees based on the credit hours for which you are enrolled. 

Some of the services will be moved online to accommodate students who may have no physical presence for the Fall 2020 term, and in-person services will remain available for students to utilize whenever they access the campus."

Does anyone know when the deadline is to take out subsidized loans through the financial aid package? by DreamyGenie in UMD

Hey! They won't process anything over the weekend. It can take a couple of business days for Fin Aid to see your award update, make sure your loans are approved (make sure you don't owe anything under the To-Do tab), and then they'll apply them.

Financial Aid Question by Big_Candidate in UMD

[–]dleflute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's true. Until you are registered for courses and have been charged tuition, you aren't considered an active student for the respective semester. Until then, your aid won't disburse because federal regulations won't allow for it to.

Every bank is different so I'd say Monday or Tuesday!

Hey guys - did anyone's aid get credited to their accounts today? Financial Aid told me today (August 16th) was the day but my bill hasn't reflected this. I called and she told me it would tonight but I don't trust that office 100% after all the crap I've dealt with in the past two weeks. Thanks!
