@mohsam where does it say that?
"Due to our COVID-19 office closure, students should upload their 2020-21 documents to complete their financial aid file. Click here for instructions on how to upload documents to our office. This upload is only used to submit any ‘Needed’ documents below.
We will also accept signed 1040 tax returns with all schedules and W-2s. For detailed guidance on how to submit tax information to our office, please visit this webpage .
Please make sure to indicate your UCI Student ID number on all documents before uploading. Please be aware that there may be a delay in updating the status of uploaded documents as our office adjusts to these new processes.
As a reminder, documents cannot be submitted as email attachments."
Is this what you guys have or is it something else??
Nothing changed for me, all of this is weird, hopefully they release another wave later today
I got off campus apartment. Don’t really know what this means.
@Sunny1235 I have that, but other people said that their “My Aid Award” changed and says their file is incomplete and is requesting documents
@mohsam This typr of thing sometimes occurs when college admissions is about to go in to change portal HTML code to release another wave. So, what we can say from my previous experience is that UCI is about to release a wave.
@elizabeth1246 on the bottom of the status page it shows the requests
For everyone else, do not use this to guess whether you got in. This may happen for everyone, just that they patch it so other people who go to portal later will see the same waitlist screen.
also uci portal has glitched before. It redirects to ?tab=myhome sometimes which causes a blank homescreen
I’m so conflicted with my college choices right now I have no idea where to go. If I get into UCI its just going to be a harder decision for me lmao
I think it would be hilarious (but also cruel) if they did all of this with the portal updating and financial aid document request, only to wait a few more days… HAHA.
I also received the financial aid document requests you guys are talking about in the financial aid portal…
@needhelp8929 I’m confused becuase you’re telling @mohsam that these changes might indicate a change to his status today (from past experiences) but you also are telling others to not use this as a guess since it may be a universal patchwork. Can you clarify im a bit confused. Thank you!
Can anyone who was accepted off the waitlist confirm or deny they also received changes to their financial aide portal the day of their acceptance?
Guys… my sister who has graduated from UCI just checked her financial aid portal and clicked on random years (2016-2017/2017-2018-) and its ALSO requesting documents from her (5/20/20 - 6/03/20) even though she has graduated… I think this was a glitch and they requested it from ALL students…
Nah thats the thing, some of my friends who got waitlisted did not get this request @sbgirl02
@KingVG7 Ah I see. Maybe my sister got it because she was a student… interesting… I hope thats good news for us
For those of you who received an update to the financial aid portal-- what major are you guys?
@worriedSenior345 public health policy. did you receive the documents request as well?
Have any ICS students gotten the documents request?
