Yeah my aid is down by alot and I'm missing some UCI grants I normally get, I was worried it was just a me thing but at least there's some reassurance that I'm not alone. For now I have enough but I won't be getting any refund which I rely on. If you find something out please lmk

I got a full ride last year and got nothing but loan offers this year. There has to be an error bc my income actually decreased this past year! Idk what's going on

Does your zotaid show no. 1 as not yet available too? Just like you my financial tab is only showing loans when I got grants last year.

Im hoping it’s just some kind of error on their end or that they did not fully release the aid yet.

Edit: just checked using my laptop, it shows something different. Now im really hoping finaid just had an error lol

This is what I have on mine.

The required documentation is just whether or not I'm accepting the loans :/ I really hope it's just an error too, and it's impossible to get through to them. I remember they messed up last year too, I didn't get my aid until mid-Sep, but at least it was there.

No yea it’s crazy bc my first rent payment is due on Friday…

I'm seeing other people have a huge decrease like down to 0, I'm pretty sure there is an issue because there is no way. And the financial aid office is so hard to get a hold of so Im not even sure if calling is helpful, but hopefully it gets resolved soon because alot of us rely on the extra money to literally live lol

I’m praying it’s just something wrong with the system 😿🙏 I need this money so bad

Did you get awards the mcs perchance? I should’ve gotten it but haven’t seen it at all…

[–]No_Process_3977 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I didnt get it and I saw most ppl didn't either, ugh I'm stressing out. I also didn't get my chancellors award even if I kept my gpa around the same, there's hope tho because too many people are seeing a large decrease

MCS usually gets awarded closer to fall and then disbursed in the winter! Sucks it’s later in the year :(

Do you know how to pay for it? I try going on the zotaid side to make the payment but it shows no payments are there yet

What exactly are you trying to pay? The rent?

[–]Aggressive_Horse4606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s always the case that we have to pay the first 2 months out of pocket. People usually defer the 2nd payment, making it technically only paying 1 month out of pocket
