CARS questions....

<p>This is what I have on CARS at the moment:</p>

<p>Minimum Amount Due Now: $3,316.75
Minimum Due + Full Reg Fee: $3,316.75
Account Balance: $14,089.75 </p>

<p>I'm reading this as I have $14,089.75 in CARS now and $3,316.75 due. Therefore, the difference of $10,773 is what I will have left after the due's and fee's are taken from CARS. Am I right? </p>

<p>Also, does this mean I don't have to manually make any other payments by August 15?</p>

<p>thx in advance</p>

<p>Yes, I had a similar figure in my CARS account; eventually the Minimum Due became zero and my Account Balance had been reduced.</p>

<p>You have $14,089.75 in debt to UC berkeley. After the 15 of August (assuming you pay the bill), you will have $10,773 left to pay at various times durring the semester.</p>

<p>so, the bill will automatically be paid?</p>

<p>when's does the next billing period come around?</p>

<p>Are you living in the dorms? If you are, then it will pay your dorm fees till december, and give you the rest as a refund. You should get your refund by the time you go to berkeley, assuming all your financial aid has paid to CARS. The reason your dorm isnt due now, is cause you have the option of paying it monthly if you are not on financial aid.</p>

<p>Like matt said, i think Acount balance is how much you owe for all the fees they know about so far, but not all of its due right now, just the minimum.... wouldnt you know if you paid 14 grand?</p>

<p>then how do I know how much money i have in CARS? money ready to pay college fees...</p>

<p>click on the payment summary thingy. or if you do it electronically on e-bill they give you really detailed statements, itemized with everything.</p>

<p>what?!?!? how come my account balance is the same as my minimum payment due?</p>

<p>Are you gonna live on or off campus?</p>

<p>bondabob, how much is your minimum payment? haha maybe they made a computer error. you save thousands of dollars after your first payment since u dont have to pay anymore! don't tell the school hahahaha.</p>

<p>Yeah, I have a problem... my minimum payment is $4657.25, about $1000 more than the rest of you.</p>

<p>Here is the breakdown:</p>

<p>APPLICATION FEE HOUSNG 20.00<br>
HALL GOVT FEE BOWLES HOUSNG 45.00 AUG INSTALL RM&BRD BOWLES HOUSNG 792.50<br>
FL06 REGISTRATION FEES REGIST 3,799.75 </p>

<p>Total: 4657.25</p>

<p>Am I having something extra? It doesn't look like it.</p>

<p>no mine was in the 4 thousand range too</p>

<p>Hmm, I just want to find out where the difference is between my bill and evanescenteuphoria's is. If it's SHIP, the difference would have been ~$700, but this difference is about $1000. I would like to know what makes it so. (I am paying college for myself T_T, and I am VERY VERY VERY poor. I would actually pick up plastic bottles on the beach and put them in the trunk, and recycle them for like...20c)</p>

<p>im guessing its something with housing? my housing is something around 1100</p>

<p>Well, if so, shouldn't my bill be LESS instead of MORE?</p>

<p>i dont know where everyone else is staying?</p>

<p>Besides Triples, Bowles has to be one of the cheapest...</p>

<p>It would make sense if evanescenteuphoria (OP) has a triple room and had the SHIP waivered. But even then, $1340.5 difference is still too big.</p>

<p>I have about $4.5k due as well. Some of my grants and scholarships have not been released yet.</p>

<p>I have a double at unit 1 and did NOT wave SHIP. </p>

<p>maybe it's because the minimum fee shows the remaining fee after my pell grant was applied.</p>
