F.A.Q.
When will I receive my financial aid for Fall 2008?
If your file is complete, you have no blocks and you are enrolled in classes, your financial aid will begin to be applied to your CARS account at the end of July. However, if you are expecting a refund check or electronic deposit, the earliest that would occur would be the Thursday before the first week of classes.
If my financial aid has not paid my Fall Registration fees by the August 15 deadline will I be dropped from my classes?
No, the Registrar does not drop you for non-payment of fees until later in the semester. However, you will not be officially registered until a minimum payment has been made.
When will I receive my CARS bill?
The Billing and Payments Services office will be producing the first Fall 2008 billing statement this weekend, August 2-3. Students will receive an email notifying them to use Bear Facts to view their CARS statement.
I'm expecting an outside scholarship check. Where do I send it?
Send your scholarship check to UC Berkeley, Financial Aid Office,
201 Sproul Hall #1960,
Berkeley, CA 94720-1960. The check should include the student's name, SID, and if possible, a letter of instructions from the donor. Have the donor write the check payable to "UC Regents," if possible.
