Financial Aid and Housing

<p>hello fellow bruins! I'm an incoming freshman this fall, gonna be moving in this sunday (yeaaaahhh), and I have a couple of questions about the way that the Financial Aid Plan G Housing installments work.</p>

<p>will UCLA automatically take money from my loans to pay for the housing every quarter if I'm under this plan, or will I have to retrieve my loan first in order to do so? If I have to retrieve my loans, how do I access my loans?</p>

<p>many thanks, =].</p>

<p>I’m wondering the same thing. And does it automatically do it for tuition as well?</p>

<p>The housing payments need to be paid manually, they do not automatically take it out of your financial aid.</p>

<p>They posted your financial aid onto BAR September 12th. They use this to subtract out any required fees (tuition and such). Then anything left over (including loan if it was through the school) is refunded to you.</p>

<p>If you have bruin direct it should be deposited in your account already. At least it is for me. Use this to pay for your housing! You have to log onto your housing account (the amount you owe should already be posted but isn’t due until Oct. 1st).</p>

<p>This is all my understanding, but I could be wrong…Anyone feel free to correct me if I am.</p>
