<p>@stly: I saw a disconcerting drop as well - does your R&C say $0 offered/accepted but still has an amount paid? My R&C for Spring just disappeared as well…</p>
<p>@bsd: oh whoa. my berkeley scholarship for spring just completely disappeared. and yeah, the amount offered is less wth. it’s just gone. also, my cal grant hasn’t been sent either. :/</p>
<p>@bsd: I saw a drop as well. Berkeley Scholarship shows $0 offered/accepted but still has its amount paid to CARS, and the scholarship for Spring disappeared…</p>
<p>Yeah the Berk UG scholarship disappeared.</p>
<p>Still no Cal Grant for me. What does the Account Balance mean in Quick Statement?</p>
<p>The account balance on your Quick Statement reflects how much you owe. If its anything higher than $0 then that means you gotta pay that by the 15th of whatever upcoming month.</p>
<p>I just got off the phone with Financial Aid and there are some grants that haven’t been issued to CARS even though it’s already been automatically accepted under Award Summary because the pay out dates for those will happen next week or so.</p>
<p>The earliest refunds should appear by August 20th and so on. </p>
<p>Hope this info helps!</p>
<p>The Berkeley UG Scholarship has been paid out to CARS for fall. It looks like it disappeared on BearFacts, but when I checked my Offer Letter, it was still there.</p>
<p>I emailed my financial aid Counselor and he told me not to pay anything out of pockets until ALL financial aid is transferred to CARS.</p>
<p>I confirm HelloAll, I called the finaid office, and he also said not to pay anything until all finaid is in. He also said something about my cal grant not being cashed out because i was added to the roster on the 6th, and that it would take 2 more weeks to be paid. He said there will not be any late fees as long as you’re “registered” by the 15th. So thats good, up till now, i’ve gotten my berkeley ug scholarship and my pell grant.</p>
<p>I’m really confused.
My statement summary shows that my account balance is around $10,000.
It shows that my statement amount due 8/15 is around $5,000.
Is that after the financial aid was added? My EFC is around $3,000 so why do I have to pay $5,000? Will more aid be added later?
Sorry if this question has been answered before.</p>
<p>Did anyone else’s Berkeley UG Scholarship disappear and in its place get Deutsch, Monroe Scholarship? It’s the same amount as the UG scholarship, just under a different name…?</p>
<p>The finaid thing is really dumb… i think they count the loans towards ur EFC… and if u dont accept the loans then u pay more than ur EFC, so imo more aid will not be added</p>
<p>this is so frustrating. reg fees are due in two days and still nothing has been sent to my CARS.</p>
<p>But I accepted all of my loans.</p>
<p>@bsd, correct, same thing for me. looking at other people’s posts it seems as if they’re updating the names of the scholarships. like if you’re getting additional scholarships from berkeley then they’ll say “blahb lah memorial scholarship” to reflect where the money actually comes from. they did this last year as well but it didn’t reflect it in offer letter</p>

<p>What do you mean by “registered.” My financial aid statement explicitly says that I’m “not registered” and the Office of the Registrar FAQ ([Frequently</a> Asked Questions - Office Of The Registrar](<a href=“http://registrar.berkeley.edu/FAQS.html]Frequently”>http://registrar.berkeley.edu/FAQS.html)) states that all fees must be paid before one is officially registered.</p>
<p>Is there anybody here listed as “not registered” on their Bearfacts award summary who HAS had financial aid transferred to CARS?</p>
<p>After my pell grant and ug scholarship cashed out, my “not registered status” got changed to “registered”… i believe a certain portion of ur cars balance needs to paid off though I don’t know what that percentage is… When ur status is registered ur fine and ur not gonna be charged a late fee until the next month (according to the finaid office).</p>
<p>It’s 20%. 10char</p>
<p>Have a question regarding financial aid…</p>
<p>My CARS quick statement shows this…what exactly does this show? Is this my refund, or what? My Cal Grant and one federal grant have yet to be applied.</p>
<p>Minimum Amount Due Now: $0.00
Minimum Due + Full Reg Fee: $0.00
Account Balance: $898.75 </p>
<p>I am confused because the “payment summary” shows this…this must be for e-bill, no?</p>
<p>CARS Payment Summary </p>
<p>As of: August 14, 2009</p>
<p>Payment Received Amount Status
No payments found for student.</p>
<p>This indicates you have nothing to pay for this month. Min due and Min + full reg are the columns that start out with the values from the e-bill for the month, but then payments are processed. The Account Balance is the entire amount they think you will have to pay between September and the end of the semester, but that is NOT due this month. For those in dorms, it has the entire year’s room/board plus the remainder of Fall semester as the balance.</p>
<p>I imagine that once your additional finaid clears, it will reduce that remaining balance and you should see account balance go to zero if financial aid is going to cover all your costs. Any excess will get disbursed to you.</p>
