UC Berkeley 2017 Transfer Thread

I have spoken to soon but now it says I am not authorized to access the Calnet ID page? Anyone else get this message? Still haven’t paid for the SIR.

@johnfuentesa Did you locate the “Tasks” column on your calcentral page? One of the listed tasks should be to set up your Calnet ID

this housing stuff is confusing!! I want a single bedroom with my own bathroom but I can not find anything :frowning:

Does anyone know if regents ended up coming out today?

Does anyone know if AP scores are sent electronically or by mail?
I requested the AP score report to be sent to Cal on April 28, and according to College Board, they sent it on May 5. It’s almost been two weeks since then, and my Cal Central still says “Initiated” and not “Received” under my AP scores. I don’t know if I’m being impatient or if I should have reason to worry, it’s taking an awfully long time to get there.

@plsacceptmeUCs
I’m in the exact same situation. maybe Cal hasn’t started sorting their College Board mail lol

@plsacceptmeplz @LandUseLaw I’m relieved to see that I’m not the only one in this situation. I ordered mine on 4/28 so I’m guessing Cal is still processing it.

@plsacceptmeUCs Same situation over here.

Has anyone had any luck talking to an actual human being at the Cal Central office? I’ve called every day at 9am and they don’t even let you stay on hold, they just hang up on you and tell you to call back later. I am STILL unable to view my financial aid through the site, any tips? I’ve emailed my admissions advisor and they just kick it back to me saying they can’t do anything…

@ef8825
Funny you say that! I’m on hold right now.
You need to just keep calling, Ive talked to them 3 times now, sometimes I had to call 40 times, once 3 times, and today I got lucky lol!

Also I had the exact same problem as you which just got resolved not to long ago . My issue turned out to be not with CalCentral but with the Summer Sessions office. What is your student status under My Academics? You can PM me if you want more info.

@ef8825 Here’s one tip to “bypass” through financial aid office. Call Cal Central and press 1 and then press 1 again. It will get you on hold with financial office. I believe it only works for the financial office, won’t work for tech issues in Cal Central. I’ve been calling them two times a week due to my grants/loan problem. Hope it helps.

Is anyone else’s student status still not showing up? Under the My Academics tab all I see is my name and my residency status.

@TL0067 Same here

Once we SIR, can we start signing up or registering for classes? Haven’t SIRd just yet but i see the available spots for some classes I would like to take in the single digit range… :-S
(for Fall 2017)

@ericbeige
No, the Fall 2017 registration date for transfers is July 10th. For freshman it is July 11th.

Really?? Wow I’m seeing some classes only have like 7 spots left 3 spots left etc

@ericbeige I share your pain; a couple upper-div major courses I wanted to take have no spots left. O well

did regents come out already?

For those of you that were selected to submit financial aid dependent verification forms, are the tax return transcripts part of the tax return packet or do they have to be attained through the IRS? I’ve tried calling the school but can’t get in touch with anyone from financial aid office…

@ucvalerieames
Through the IRS
