@collegefind1234 you could call the school. I ended up calling financial aid or admissions (I don’t remember which) last year because it wasn’t notated anywhere that the deposit was waived for me and yet it never asked for payment. They told me that R&C scholars don’t pay the deposit. I’m not sure if this applies to this year too but thought I’d post since I and a lot of others were confused last year.
@hbrunner how do I know if im an R&C scholar? the same thing happened to me and cal hasnt processed my FAFSA yet
Sorry @WantInternship it was super frustrating for me too! It took me a few hours to even notice I was able to scroll down (as far as I know, your account may not even allow you to scroll down yet, because I’m sure I would have noticed earlier if I had been able to.)
I’m FPF, and I saw that we aren’t added to the directory until later, and I also saw elsewhere on Berkeley’s website that you shouldn’t panic if you aren’t able to create a CalNet account within the first few hours/days of SIRing… I would email them if the problem isn’t resolved soon though, just to avoid problems in the future
@hbrunner - thank you so much!
does anyone know how to appeal? I tried finding a link or any info online but cant seem to find anything. Thanks
has any international student received any mailed packages from UC Berkeley?
Hello, has anyone called about the OOS tuition issue when you are in-state?
@YaboicalI’m calling them rn, but I’ve been on hold for half an hour now.
Please keep us updated @ironweasal ! I’m having the same issue
Ok so they told me that the tuition that’s stated online is the same for everyone that hasn’t SIRd yet, and that they won’t know whether or not your an in-state applicant or not until you SIR. @DearTime @Yaboical
@ironweasal Oh interesting, so once we SIR we should see the correct amount then?
@DearTime yes.
Did anyone else receive the EOP email?? I’m so confused I was waitlisted
S has not SIR’d but his portal shows instate tuition fees. He is not applying for FA not sure if that makes a difference.
@gradclass2022 Yes! S did. So confusing…
@calimom333 what should we think about this?? Was it a mistake??
I recieved it also. Called the undergraduate admissions - they said it has nothing to do with your admissions. What is on the portal is on the portal. Still on the waitlist!
@gradclass2022 @yojhooo I guess it was an error - or a really bad choice of words if they’re sending it to people on the waitlist!
About the OOS tuition thing… So are you saying that if I click SIR and pay the fee, the system will verify my California residency and fix my tuition? But how can I be 100% guaranteed that I will pay 34K and not 64K? Man, I think the financial office should fix the problem right away. I’m just scared I will be paying the OOS because since I do SIR, I am basically telling them “hey I wanna go here and pay the $64k as stated in my financial aid summary…take my money”.
@yojhooo did they say why they sent the EOP? I am very confused, but don’t want to get my hopes up for the waitlist…
