IMPORTANT NOTICE: Loan disbursement delay for loans accepted on or after October 6. Due to a technical issue, students who accepted Federal Direct Loans (subsidized, unsubsidized, Graduate PLUS, Parent PLUS) on or after October 6, 2026 will experience a delay in their loan disbursement. The Financial Aid & Scholarships Office is currently working to fix this and expect a resolution within 10 business days. For immediate assistance, please consider exploring short-term emergency loans. For questions, please contact Cal Student Central.
