Emergency loans will be available for the fall semester no sooner than August 18, 2008.  Be aware that you should have your refund checks by August 22, 2008 so you may not need to apply.

If you see a message on UNCGenie that indicates your awards are not completed, that simply means the aid has not yet paid onto your account in the Cashier’s Office. This message will go away once the disbursement date is reached and your aid can be paid. You should also review your requirements link in UNCGenie to insure that you have completed all outstanding requirements so that your aid can pay to your account at the scheduled disbursement date.

Due to recent changes in federal regulations, the annual Stafford loan limits for undergraduate students who are enrolled as eligible and regular students in eligible undergraduate programs have changed. Effective for loan periods beginning after July 1, 2008, undergraduate students may now be entitled to receive up to an additional $2,000 in unsubsidized Stafford loan money. Please refer to the Loan Information section on our financial aid website for specific information on loan limits.

If you think you may be eligible for the additional unsubsidized Stafford Loan money and wish to borrow these additional funds, please submit a Secondary Stafford Loan Request Form to our office and we will make the award adjustment if you are eligible.

UNCG Laptop Grants will begin disbursement on July 7, 2008.  Please ensure that you are confirmed in your classes by viewing your estimated bill in UNCGenie and making sure you have a ‘Y’ beside the confirmed  indicator for the fall semester.  You should be confirmed, enrolled full time, and have all of your student requirements listed as satisfied on UNCGenie in order to receive your funds.
