Help how do i read this 🥲 i thought my balance was supposed to be higher? Also, i have no idea where my cal grant and middle class scholarship went so now im afraid of how much i have to pay quarterly

im genuinely confused on how to read this. shouldnt i be receiving more? also, why did they lower my aid😭i was supposed to get more per quarter😢

I’m not sure if anyone can answer my questions or help me with this but I’m an incoming second year living in pv2. The first one is my billing and finaid for this year and the second ones is for last year.

My first question is why my tuition is higher when I don’t even have a meal plan when last year I did. Also rent is 1212 for 10 months wouldn’t that equal to 12,120 and not what they are showing me?

My second question is why am I getting less aid when my SAI went down? And my tuition is higher?

I’m just a little confused

hi guys! i'm an incoming freshman at Uci and i'm a little confused on how the financial aid works. on the left is my financial aid packet but on the right it shows i owe 7k on the zotaid account, what do i do? do i contact the office to get it figured out or is this a mistake that will correct itself over time.

does this mean i’m only getting $35 back??? so it won’t cover my housing??? or is there a possibility i’ll get more

Would this be ok to buy for renters insurance or? I don’t want to buy annually since it will be an extra $300-400. Just confused how much we should be paying

am i completely wrong or am i supposed to be getting more back? last year i was getting more and my aid didnt dramatically change im not sure if im not looking at this right but i think i should be getting more 😭😭

Hi everybody! I know that recently UCI having a hard time with Financial aid package.

But some people seems like they have different situation. I wonder if anyone here have received the CAL GRANT?
According to the estimate I must have Cal Grant A with $5k but when I see the future transactions, it isn't there.

And it seems like I am having a problem with document too. Is this just my situation or you all also have the same situation?

Hi everyone,
I thought I’d share this incident with the community so someone in the situation can benefit.

Few days ago, I rented a zipcar(ev) from campus and returned on the spot. It had around 30% charge, and since I rented only for 3 hours, I had no time to charge, nor the return spot (campus parking lot) had the charger.

Then zipcar sent me an email with $30 for low fuel return. However, on their webpage,their rules say “there is no minimum charge required to return an ev”.

Of course I emailed them back, and escalation of the issue, and in few days I was able to cancel the charged fee.

I am so sick of zipcar overcharging and scamming users that don’t complain enough. Probably this is the last time I rent a zipcar!

Can someone explain this to me?? I don’t understand it, also my federal Pell grant hasn’t been applied?
