<p>hey,</p>
<p>i'm taking courses at UCI over the summer. i was told to file with UCLA for financial aid, and they still haven't contacted me or dispersed any of the money i need to pay for my courses. classes start monday...so i'm trying to call ucla now but it's taking forever.</p>
<p>has anyone received their finaid for summer?</p>
<p>ugh, after finally getting in contact with one of the finaid people they put me on hold and transfer me to a never-ending ringing phone line. ***.</p>
<p>i was wondering, is el camino college is eligible for summer financial aid? im takin 16 units this summer before transfer. i was gonna quit my job right about now (this would help me have more time for those classes) but I just realized that i dont have any summer aid, so 16 units = ~300+ for tuition alone, not counting the ridiculous prices i know my books will cost. so im just gonna have to tough it out with work over this summer…</p>
<p>financial aid sucks for summer school at this point. you’ll probably get just enough to cover the cost of courses. may 30th i think was the deadline for university aid, the fund at ucla/berk is very generous and they’ll give you enough to cover the cost of housing if efc is close to zero and unit load is full time.</p>
<p>one class in the summer is going to cost me about $1500 to cover the cost of housing and general expenses and who knows if the cost of books/units will be covered.</p>
