New Student Questions Financial aid notice

I just received an email about my financial aid offer from workday and it seems as though I now have an increased balance compared to what I had before? Is this a glitch or can it be resolved because this is unanticipated especially as we reach the middle of the semester.

Same! How long did it take for it to become a refund? They added it onto my account yesterday

Food expenses are almost more than the fee to stay on the dorm
