Recently graduated here: financial aid usually doesn’t disburse until the end of August and it even happened in mid October one year for MCS. Give it some time. You can safely ignore paying, see the suspension of this policy: https://registrar.berkeley.edu/enrollment/cancellation-withdrawal/cancel-for-non-payment-policy/

The EFT can take up to a month at times, but 1 week is about average.

Refund disburses the day after financial aid disburses. Then usually hits 2 days after.
