<p>What payment plan am I supposed to pick... Financial Aid? or Quarterly?
Like they say Plan G is supposed to show up on your Housing offer? what does this mean?
on my ePAL it says I should get it, but Im not sure
Any response would be helpful...Thanks</p>
<p>Yes, you should select Plan G (Financial Aid) for housing. However, you may have to wait until you get your EFAN and accept all your awards before you can select this option.</p>
<p>when are we supposed to get our efan then ? I should also be able to receive financial aid, but when i try selecting financial aid as my payment, an error message pops up telling me I am not eligible for it.</p>
<p>Truth be told, I don’t remember when incoming students receive their EFANs (it’s been 5 years since I was an incoming student…)</p>
<p>haha oh wow a very long time indeed. What do you do now ? grad school ?</p>
<p>yea, but the problem is that the eFAN comes out somewhere around june-july I think but the housing offer must be accepted by the 26th of may -_- so confused, I think ima do what you said though pick financial aid, because I need this money or I cant afford to attend.</p>
<p>Plan G is based on your EPAL…so if it does not work…you must not be receiving much aid.</p>
<p>If you have enough money, you can pick whatever is comfortable with you. Plan G just defers your payment until the school year (If I can remember correctly because I did this too). All plans pay the same amount, but the difference is just WHEN you pay it. Since Plan G defers your initial payment till the school year but makes your quarterly payments higher.</p>
<p>The quarterly payments and monthly plan are what they say. Pay quarterly and monthly. In the end, I had enough money (as in making the initial payment wouldnt bankrupt me), so I just chose quarterly normal payments (I had to argue to get Plan G but by the time I got it, I did not really care to use it).</p>

<p>I’m currently in my first year of grad school at UC Irvine for a PhD in Chemistry. Which is why I don’t post too often… </p>
<p>And yes, like Altema posted, the main difference btwn Plan G and Quarterly/Monthly is that it defers your initial payment to closer to when the school year starts AND spreads it out a little more among the quarters. I remember only have to pay an initial payment of $400 before the start of each school year for housing on plan G.</p>
