2013 - UCLA - Checking Status w/ URSA

<p>I just checked myUCLA and under my name, it just showed Summer Sessions Student, Unknown, and Session. However, I am listed in the UCLA directory as a student. I figured it is not a good sign since according the pattern that those seeing their major is a good sign.</p>

<p>@UCdrone yeah on that banner area I see my major! but I don’t have a summary for financial aid. I don’t think I actually am going to get any financial aid though so I’m not sure if that matters…and I saw my name on the directory too</p>

<p>I suggest you read the first few pages of this thread, all your questions were asked last year.</p>

<p>@ttavakol (maybe a dumb question, but…) did you apply for fafsa? You’re looking in URSA, right?</p>

<p>Electrical Engineering major here
3.89 gpa, (4.0 major) all prereqs completed.
Can’t see my financial aid on URSA, but I think that might have to do with the fact that I’m pretty sure my fafsa is technically incomplete because my parents filed for an extension for their taxes so they haven’t actually filed them yet. Also, for myUCLA, its just a blank white banner under my name. Don’t know exactly what that means.</p>

<p>URSA said I do not have access. Bad sign? Am I doing something wrong?</p>

<p>@sumbum I’m pretty sure I did but when I did summer school last summer I didn’t get a financial aid summary either :\ the only thing working for me is my major showing and the directory thing</p>

<p>Now my banner says summer session, unknown for my major. Expecting a rejection now. Still have a little hope though.</p>

<p>Im an engineering student.
My banner is blank, I can see my financial aid summary, and I just searched my name in the directory and it came up!! Underneath my name it says student.</p>

<p>I have been able to see myself in the Directory (with the “student” label) since day one of the USRA summer trick. I am pretty sure it is automatic. Although, when I first saw it, my heart skipped a beat!</p>

<p>^^ Aw man, okay. I guess it doesn’t mean anything. haha, I got all excited</p>

<p>@sarah989 it’s looking good for you!</p>

<p>@bruingal I don’t think it’s automatic. I wasn’t able to see my name until today, after I saw that MyUCLA showed my major.</p>

<p>Eeeek. I really thought that UCLA was gonna reject me because I am a little below average GPA for my major and I am missing 2 prereqs because UCLA requires more prereqs for my major than other UCs do. But this thread has really boosted my confidence, so thanks you guys. You guys are awesome and so nice.
Even if I don’t end up getting in, these tricks have helped pass the time and they’re fun.</p>

<p>@sumbum That is encouraging! I have no other indicators yet. Banner still says Summer / no financial summary . . .</p>

<p>@ucdrone that did not work for me either. I don’t get an option for summer.</p>

<p>^ you don’t pick summer, you pick new student. If you picked other, then you would have registered as a 3rd party payor.</p>

<p>@ttavakol how long did it take for you to see your major? I’m also a comm major applicant…</p>

<p>hi guys, I’ve been able to make/log into my email. does that matter for anything?</p>

<p>^ email doesn’t seem to mean anything, if your banner still Reads Summer Sessions Student. I do see that those who can now see their major can’t access email.</p>
