On Aug. 19, UC Berkeley junior James Nagy received notification from the campus Financial Aid Office confirming he had fulfilled all the necessary requirements to receive loan money and that he would be given his funds shortly.

Nagy was one of hundreds of students that had yet to see any reprieve with their financial aid issues. Nagy said he was assured he would receive his money within two weeks.
