I think we got confirmation right away but it was on weekday – maybe longer processing time if doing it on the weekend?
@calgraduclamom , we did not get asked to pay a deposit too so there was a panic. later on, after some frantic research on CC, i came to realize some people did not need to pay immediately with SIR AND the confirmation can happen only after 24 hours. pls check you status tomorrow via the portal .
So i accepted the offer aswell and i cant find the fee or where to submit the deposit either. Everytime i click on the “links for you” in the portal nothing pops up. Im worried with today being the 1st thay this might interfere with my admission.
@Freesco27, your Application Status should reflect that you have accepted the offer (unfortunately) only after 24 hours - that was what happened to us
@tintinhope do they defer the SIR fee automatically? Cuz i don’t remember having the option to defer the payment… And what if I got off the waitlist of another college and accept the offer, do i still needa pay for ucsc SIR?
this is what i think, some people mostly for being low income family, if your application fee was waived for example, then the system recognizes you and skips asking for deposit for now. there was a message saying deposit is not asked something like that. at that time we did not understand what that meant.
if you get off waitlist, my guess is that you need to pay deposit. we already saw our financial aid before SIR. so i guess the school would be in a position to know our financial situation, hence able to determine whether to ask for deposit. i suggest you call admissions to confirm. so far the experience has been v positive talking to them
i don’t know if the school provides you with financial aids if you are waitlisted… best of luck!
Hi, I clicked accept offer of admission and filled out my college choices and parents info. However, now it says error when I click it again to try and SIR and pay the fees. Does anybody know what’s going on?
