OK, so here’s our situation: On March 27th UCR requested a copy of birth certificate. My son dropped the ball, and when I picked it up, I sent the bc on 4/3. Under “Student Requirements” on R’Web it reads now “Received, not yet reviewed” dated 4/20. (So, it looks like it took from 4/3 to 4/20 to even register in the system that I sent the requested doc…) I’ve spoken to financial aid a few times, and last time they said the doc was with a financial aid counselor to be reviewed for verification.

We only ever received emails - to my son’s email address - to tell us the app was incomplete, and an email response when I sent the docs, but that was just a generic email that they received an email from us. We have never received an email updating us on the status since they received the doc…

I hope that helps.

Oh, and I would think that if the aid is not sufficient for your child to attend, they would/should return all your deposits. They really screwed this up. Btw, my son still has not received any kind of welcome packet in the mail.
