<p>1) On the Tenure Contract thing we have to return them, it asks for the Student ID. Is that the same as the CalNet ID?</p>
<p>2) Do we get priority Housing or any priority in signing up for classes?</p>
<p>3) For scholarship money we get, do we get like a check from the scholarship office or is the money just deducted from our expenses (ie, tuition or housing, ect)?</p>
<p>4) (For anyone) When is the deadline for sending in AP test scores from like junior year? And how do we do this again?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>yes</p></li>
<li><p>yes for housing. no for classes. </p></li>
<li><p>Most of it takes care of itself. IF you live off-campus you will have to set up your EFT account on bear facts and then you’ll get a deposit into your bank account. All students who have any form of financial aid have to do this. </p></li>
<li><p>just indicate on your senior AP tests that you want your scores sent to berkeley. your junior scores should automatically send.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>greatestyen: Can you clarify on AP’s: Is it like the SAT’s? You tell them where you want your scores sent? What about the AP’s taken in jr year? Do you know anything about IB Test Scores? Thanks for the info.</p>
<p>Yes, it’s exacly like SATs. You put down a code found in the AP Student Manual and ETS sends both your senior and junior scores to Berkeley. If you’re not taking any AP tests senior year, you should contact ETS/College Board and ask them to send the scores to Berkeley. Sorry, I never did IB.</p>
<p>Could you clarify what you mean by “most of it takes care of itself”?</p>
<p>I am planning to live ON campus. Does this mean the financial aid will just be deducted from my housing? Or do I just get a check from the fin aid office?</p>
<p>Basically, if you’re a Regents scholar or are getting need-based financial aid, or merit aid, you don’t need to do anything other than accept “the award” for it to pay. That means…turning in your SIR.</p>
<p>No, regents DON’T get priority for classes. Signing up for classes has probably been one of my most frustrating experiences here at Berkeley so far because I can never seem to get all the classes I want.</p>
<p>For priority housing, does this mean you don’t have to deal with the lottery? How can you take advantage of this? (Like would it help any if you wanted a minisuite?)</p>
<p>My RCSA friends make it seem like they get some sort of boost in the lottery. In that way, it helps get higher choices. I’m not sure if students know exactly how it works, but I could be wrong.</p>
