Is your "official" Financial Aid Package released prior to SIR?

<p>So I was looking at my unofficial package today and there was a note that said Official Packages will be released in May after you SIR.</p>

<p>Is this just for Freshman?</p>

<p>I can't believe they would require students to SIR prior to having a final financial aid package, could they?</p>

<p>If this helps I also found an old thread and it said this:</p>

You should get the official award soon. The UCs are required to get that information to you before your SIR deadline (June 1)."</p>

<p>Where would it say that it's required that you get it before you SIR? Because on my package it said after. :/</p>
