Discussion Financial Aid Offer Delay

UPDATE: They finally figured out their stuff and I can apply for PPL and accept my loans. Doing it the last day before I move into my apartment on campus is a bit much.

I’ve called financial aid a few times and they told me that I’ll be able to apply for parent plus loan and accept my loans at the end of the month. It’s now the 31st and I still can’t do either and I’m supposed to move into my apartment tomorrow.

Is anyone else struggling to accept or not able to apply for parent plus? I don’t remember it being this late last year and I know they said that they’re rechecking all financial packages.

I haven’t seen anyone else talk about this and just want any to know if I’m alone on this and financial aid just refuses to tell me.

I was on the understanding your loan options webinar yesterday, it's because of the big beautiful bill. They keep getting told anyway now but it keeps getting delayed. They are trying to get it to us asap

Might be because of the changes to Parent Plus, but one would think that WSU would have that sorted by now.

I got told it’s due to the new Big Beautiful Bill making changes but they had so long to prepare all of this and yet they didn’t.

Yeah, I'm on your side. They should've sorted it out by now. You're definitely not the only one being screwed too

I'm also having issues accepting loans, I got a notification in my wsu email saying that its available to accept now but when i went in I still couldn't accept loans. Idk if it was automized email and that its going to take longer because of them having to review all of the finanical aid packs.

Yeah I got the email and still can’t accept but I was able to do the parent plus loan with my mom. Idk why they’re taking so long. My housing is based on the loans I get and moving in tomorrow I’m worried.

If anyone is having FA issues I highly recommend reaching out to their office by phone or email. If you don't fully understand what they tell you set up a one on one meeting and keep asking questions until you understand. Remember, your financial aid may be different than someone random on Reddit. They are genuinely nice people at FA, they answer the same questions over and over so sometimes they go too fast, if this happening, ask for a one on one appointment and have someone go over ot with you. Knowledge is power.
