<p>I don't understand when I begin paying actual tuition, or what will be on the first bill, or when I have to pay it by.</p>
<p>Can anyone explain?</p>
<p>Have you visited [Student</a> Billing Services, University of California, Berkeley](<a href=“http://studentbilling.berkeley.edu/]Student”>http://studentbilling.berkeley.edu/) and gone through the presentations and guides yet? Happy to help clarify anything once you do that, but there is a lot to list if you haven’t done any basic research yet.</p>
<p>And pay when your bearfacts “quick statement” says “amt due now” (no science there!)</p>
<p>tuition is one chunk, and has fee to pay by installment.
dorms is by month, so you pay $1100 or so per month</p>
<p>But even if a bill is due, you don’t get fined until about 1 month later</p>
<p>and know that the ebill is sort of a frozen picture of your account on one day in the month and won’t update even though you make payments and/or incur additional charges. the quick statement for CARS on Bearfacts gives you the actual status of your account day by day.</p>
