So I’ve just been admitted to UCLA and SIR’ed and done my housing application and all that. I’m aware that financial aid is generally disbursed ten days before the first quarter, which gives me plenty of time to apply it to my housing payment for the fall quarter–this is also the case for the spring quarter, ten days before/no problems.
But I’ve noticed that the winter housing payment is due on January 1st, which is also the day that winter financial aid is disbursed. I’m wondering if any people who’ve used their financial aid to pay for their housing have had experience with this strange bit of scheduling. I really really don’t want to get kicked out of my dorm.
I’ve already e-mailed the housing office, and the student representative told me I “should be fine”, because they offer a “courtesy extension”. But I’m still looking for more information about this. I’m a little concerned here.
Thank you in advance!
