<p>"The University of California is committed to ensuring that Cal Grant recipients are not disadvantaged by delays in the approval of the State budget. </p>

<p>UCSB will begin downloading and processing Cal Grant awards on September 8. Our goal is to begin disbursing processed Cal Grant awards to students’ BARC accounts by Friday, September 12.</p>

<p>As noted in our prior update, we will credit aid to students’ BARC accounts on a daily basis from September 12 to September 25, the first day of classes. Beginning September 29, we will revert to a twice-per-week disbursement schedule.</p>

<p>For your information, the fall 08 fee payment deadline has been extended to September 16. "

<p>The governor is cutting it quite close if you ask me.</p>

<p>I received my Cal Grant Access already.</p>

<p>Free money baby! </p>

<p>Actually, they found out I was denied for Cal Grant A and just switched me over to full University Grant eligibility. I asked them what happened, and they told me that they didn't even check to see if I was eligible for Cal Grant B; and upon looking it up, they realized that I should have gotten that one, in addition to the University Grant.</p>

<p>Just today, a financial aid office representative called my phone, and told me that they fixed up the problem, and my BARC now reads that Cal Grant Access has been paid.</p>

<p>Either way, as long as your EFC is at $0, then University Grant will cover anything you don't get from the Cal Grant. The only real problem here was that this could have jeopardized my future eligibility for Cal Grant B in the coming years.</p>

<p>I see. So what is Cal Grant Access?</p>

<p>And has anyone gotten their CALGRANT A or B disbursed yet?</p>

4

<p>Cal Grant Access is what is listed on your billing statement. It doesn't say A or B.</p>

5

<p>Ah, my mistake. The Transaction Detail under your BARC will say A or B. My "Cal Grant B Stipend" showed up.</p>

<p>As far as I know, though, it had said Cal Grant Access everywhere else I checked.</p>

6

<p>looks like my calgrant won't go through until after the deadline</p>

<p>they messed up something and need to manually submit some paperwork; like grade level verification...</p>

<p>i'm going to submit a fin aid payment agreement form to defer the payment</p>

<p>anyone else in the same situation?</p>

<p>I haven't got my Calgrant yet and I'm worried. Because the next quarter deadline is approaching, it's already october 7th today, I don't know are they still distributing it little by little.</p>
