UC Fee Waiver Dilemma

<p>I submitted my UC apps, but I didn’t realize that there was a Fee Waiver bubble to fill out, I thought you just had to enter family income/size and they would automatically give to you. I realized this after I sent my application, which told me I had to pay the full price. </p>

<p>I know I’m elligible for a fee waiver based on my family income, <15k, but I was wondering if anyone else had this problem before? I was wondering if by emailing and calling about my stupid mistake would make them change my uncircled fee waiver option so that I can get my 4 UCs for free and a refund of $240 dollars. Thanks.</p>

<p>I think the steps you want to take are good enough, but you might want to read this:</p>

<p>how do you apply for the UC fee waiver i kno im late but i been busy with basketball practice and stuff somebody help me out</p>

<p>I had almost the exact same problem. I first e-mailed and was told to call because it was “too complex” so I called. I was redirected a couple times and finally was told that my best bet was to pay and then send in a CollegeBoard fee waiver with Credit Card order number with written request for credit back on card. You can call too, but good luck.</p>

<p>In the last step of your app (before submitting) you have the option to see if you are eligible for a fee waiver.</p>

<p>Best of luck OP</p>
