<p>i submitted my SIR and SLR for UCSD. I expected to pay my deposit fee right away but there was no notice or payment due on myapplication. </p>
<p>Shouldn't i be required to pay for deposit?
or
is there waiver system even for deposit fee for low income students or EOP students?</p>
<p>You didn’t have to pay the SIR fee because your financial aid waived the fee.</p>
<p>really? because i have financial aid but i still had to pay 100$ deposit for SIR</p>
<p>i didn’t have to pay a deposit either! <em>phew</em> i’m not the only one… i thought that that was some glitch or something D:</p>
<p>I believe you only get it waived if you have like an EFC of 0 because you are in a greater need.</p>
<p>what does EFC stand for?</p>
<p>After you fill out your FAFSA , you should receive an estimated family contribution (EFC) number.</p>
<p>wait… but i don’t think my EFC was 0…</p>
<p>As long as your EFC was low, your deposit fee got waived. If it didn’t ask you for a deposit fee, you’re fine.</p>
<p>Dang, my EFC was 100, so I had to pay the deposit.</p>
<p>my EFC was 272…is that low enough to not pay the deposit fee?</p>
