Viewing financial aid online?

<p>If it's not available online...do they send you info by snail mail? All I know is that I've received a merit scholarship.</p>

<p>But they've also told me a few weeks ago that I needed to fill out some verification forms. They're due in June. So...maybe I have to do them before I get a financial aid package estimate?</p>

<p>I'm confused. The other two UCs I've been accepted to have all their numbers online.</p>

<p>I couldn't find the info online, but I did get it in the mail.</p>

<p>It was printed on the back side of the "CONGRATULATIONS!" paper.</p>

<p>It's only an estimate though, you don't know for sure until you send in a copy of your parents' tax returns or whatever.</p>

<p>^^I haven't even gotten that yet. What are you talking about, aleiram?</p>

<p>It's a big envelope that comes in the mail and it has pictures of ucsc students all over the front.</p>

<p>Inside, it has:
A brochure (this is where they tell you about Spring Spotlight)
A paper that says IMPORTANT INFO ON BACK! (it's FAQs on admission stuff)
Tips for financial aid (with financial aid FAQs on back)
A letter (dear ___: It is an honor to inform you...)</p>

<p>HAHA oh man. I was looking at everything and I just realized that they sent the financial aid estimate seperately. Sorry for confusing people! </p>

<p>I think the letter came two days after the initial big packet.</p>

<p>Hmmm, I haven't gotten an acceptance-like packet from SC yet, but one from Davis arrived today.</p>

<p>Along with some financial aid letter from Santa Cruz. Basically told me to send in my extra verification forms if I wanted to see a real estimate. Damn.</p>

<p>I got a scholarship letter from SC, but no fin aid letter.</p>

<p>i wish i got a scholarship :(</p>

<p>Does anyone know wat "Self-Service is not available for this aid year. " mean?</p>
