@KAMmom Check CalCentral next time. Go to financial tab, choose “most recent” and you’ll see the refund before it’s even in your bank account. They usually send it 3-7 days before the first day of school (Instruction day). My kicked in last week, so I guess yours as well.
@JinkoY Have you tried www.assist.org? Check at your school if there are any TAP (Transfer Alliance PRogram) representatives from Cal. It would help you a lot.
