<p>I submitted my Statement of Legal Residence nearly 2 months ago, and it still shows "Awaiting Evaluation" in Bearfacts.
Also, when I go into my Cars Statement, it says I have a balance of $11,300, which sounds like out of state tuition (and I'm a California resident).
Anyone else have this problem?</p>
<p>11.300 is not out-of-state tuition. out of state is much more.</p>
<p>Out-of-state tuition+fee= $17,820 (<a href="http://students.berkeley.edu/fao/ugbudget05-06.html%5B/url%5D">http://students.berkeley.edu/fao/ugbudget05-06.html</a>)
Mine is even weirder: $23,116.</p>
<p>They charge you per semester, right? So 11,300 for a semester for out of state = over $22,000 a year, which sounds about right to me.</p>
<p>Have your SLR's been approved yet?</p>
<p>It's not 11,300.</p>
<p>I'm an immigrant, they need a copy of my Green-card.
They say the bill will include non-resident tuition while my SLR being reviewed.
I can just pay, then get refund. Or pay the first installment, then wait for the non-resident amount to be excluded.</p>
<p>Good to know.. I have this problem too.. I thought I was the only one.</p>
<p>Yeah, I have the same problem too. No way in hell I'm gonna pay non-resident tuition! I'm getting nervous. They haven't approved my SLR yet and they've charged non-resident fees? Odd.</p>
<p>Sounds like this isn't an isolated problem... I e-mailed the office about the issue and recieved an auto response saying that they are receiving very high volumes of e-mails and it will be a few days before they respond. It could likely be a result of this issue.</p>
<p>oooohh i have the same problem!! and i have to pay $12,000...</p>
<p>Where do you view your bill?</p>
<p>Regarding SLR</p>
<p>Check in Bearfacts under "Personal Profile" rather than Statement of Legal Residence. It will say under there whether you're a California Resident or not. Under "Term Status," you will find "Calif. Residency Status." It will say there whether or not you are a resident.</p>
<p>Regarding CARS</p>
<p>Under my CARS account, I have $14,481.95 as my account balance. Unsure if that makes sense or not. I am a California Resident (and it says so on my Personal Profile. However, I have $4,721.45 as the minimum amount due. This makes sense when you add the two together, getting $19,203.40. That about equals everything (because the $23K includes "personal," "transportation," and "books").</p>
<p>For those with the account balance of $11K, if you have accepted your loans, those loans are credited to your CARS.</p>
<p>Viewing Your Bill</p>
<p>To access viewing your bill, go to <a href="http://bearfacts.berkeley.edu%5B/url%5D">http://bearfacts.berkeley.edu</a>
Under the "Students" category, there should be a sign that says "View CARs/e-bill" with "New!" next to it. There you can set up your e-bill and e-payment.</p>
<p>You can view your CARS account (but not your bill) by proceeding to <a href="http://bearfacts.berkeley.edu%5B/url%5D">http://bearfacts.berkeley.edu</a>, clicking "Students." Once your page has come up, scroll down to "CARS" (or something that has CARS in it) and click the "Quick Statement" under it.</p>
<p>yeap, effelguy has got it down</p>
<p>My profile states "SLR submitted, awaiting evaluation." I'm wondering if I answered the second question on the SLR incorrectly. I hope this clears up soon before Aug 15 coz I can't pay $6500 all at once (that's my minimum due!) Yikes!</p>
<p>My BearFacts got updated today... now it says California Resident :) My CARS balance was reduced to $2,450.
Looks like they are just horrendously slow in getting those SLRs approved.</p>
<p>Yay, now I'm a California Resident on BearFacts and my CARS balance is 0.00. Phew, I was getting nervous about having to pay $6500 all at once. So, anybody knows what happens to extra scholarship money? Looks like mine disappeared...</p>
<p>Ugh I'm still not approved yet.. but they haven't asked for any further information? I will call them tomorrow about it. I emailed them about a week ago and still no response!</p>
<p>Anyone else still waiting?</p>
<p>me...
They make me pay like 13,000 ...
Dude, my parents havent earned that much money since we came here. How am I supposed to pay that much at once?
I have to call Office of Registrar and Financial aid office tommorow !!!</p>
<p>Check your e-bills! They came in today.</p>
