<p>lol, I just found an off-campus work study opening…at my old community college. It’s for a writing tutor position. I hope I get this one. :D</p>
<p>I was just looking at the BruinBiill info on what and when I have to pay. I know these are just estimates, however, my question is for the fall reg, it states due date Aug 19… And it says payment 100 dollars. So, what exactly is this? I don’t recall paying for this not did I receive an email saying something was due. Thank you.</p>
<p>Yay Cayton! Don’t leave SMC!</p>
<p>What does your bruin bill say? Mine States all the charges but says my balance is -$K(the amour I am getting back from loans). And states my outstanding balance is zero </p>
<p>@tik1127 its the payment you submitted as a deposit when u SIRd</p>
<p>oh guys, did anyone’s housing assignment change from the original one? My original one was more expensive than my new one so how does that work out? How will I be refunded?</p>
<p>Few people on facebook said it changed. Call housing n ask they close at 4pm and ask detailed questions some of the peoplr just BS you to get you off the phone… i call a lot lol </p>
<p>Cant blame them i do that at work… i even tell people to call back cuz the system is down when im lazy. Or call back in an hour whrn im gone </p>
<p>Anyway call and ask</p>
<p>I just received the change of assignment email. It says I will be assigned to De Neve Gardenia/Holly (which was what I requested from the start). I previously had Sproul Landing/Cove.</p>
<p>Did you guys ask for a change, or did it just arbitrarily happen?</p>
<p>I heard on Facebook that they had so any transfers and freshmen living on campus, a lot of people got bumped from doubles to triples.</p>
<p>I also have a negative balance on my Bruin Bill. That’s what will be reimbursed to me. That along with my work study will be just about what I thought I needed.</p>
<p>Speaking of work study, I’ve been on a couple of interviews already. It’s been rough.</p>
<p>@lindyk8 I did not request a change.</p>
<p>I’ve been waiting for a financial aid appeal for months now, I call the guy who is handling it and he has never ever gotten back to after emails, calls, voicemails. I don’t want to accept anything yet until I know if it is going to go through.</p>
<p>Also, does anyone know if you didn’t use your Cal Grant at CC, would you get tuition covered for more than 2 years? This is what I was told but I’m not sure. Haven’t gotten a clear answer. </p>
<p>@RamonaFalls </p>
<p>When did you start applying for work-study jobs? Would you say it’d be hard to get one? Or is it that you should apply to a lot of jobs to get one?</p>
<p>I’m trying to get work-study myself, so I’m curious.</p>
<p>@CSB111
Is it normal for appeals to take that long? I’m going to submit an appeal myself, and they told me it takes like 3 weeks. Not to be all in your business, but if you don’t mind sharing, what’s the general nature if your request for an appeal?</p>
<p>@2016Candles I’ve been waiting on it since the beginning of May. I got an email in very early July requesting paperwork and went down there and turned it in a few days later at the financial aid office. </p>
<p>When I first got my aid, I was awarded $3000 or so more dollars. Simply put, there was a change that caused the income to go up. They wanted me to show the past years FAFSA to show it was a one time thing, and I did that, but like I said, still haven’t heard anything. They told me it should go through when I first asked about it back at Bruin Day. </p>
<p>@CSB111
Thanks for the info. Wow that’s a long azz time to be waiting. I hope you get it resolved ASAP! </p>
<p>@ramonafalls, Oh i see. Do you know HOW it will be reimbursed? And like @cayton I’m curious how your work study interviews went.</p>

<p>UCLA is the #1 “affordable elite” school in the country, according to the Washington Monthly. I’m not sure I understand why, though. Harvard is just behind UCLA at #2 and they give <em>a lot</em> of money to poor students, much more than UCLA.</p>
<p>Off the top of my head I would say they’re calculating number of students getting aid vs. amount of money handed out. </p>
