Dear Loan student, I have received a lot of questions about the transmitted amount on Campus Connect.  Remember that if you are receiving a Spring Only loan then your loan is arriving in two disbursements.   This means that only half of your aid is being transmitted at this time.  The second half of your award will transmit when it is time to work on the second disbursement.  The second disbursement of student loans usually comes out around midterms.    Patti Carson Fiancial Aid Analyst 1-501-354-7574 carsonp@uaccm.edu
