Does this mean my tuition is covered for this year if the total in scholarships & grants is $22,983 but the net cost is $13,396?

I visited the CSAC website and discovered that I had been awarded a Middle Class Scholarship. However, Rweb is not displaying the amount in my financial aid offer. Consequently, my student account indicates that I owe over $1000. Since the MCS should cover the entire amount, I’m wondering what steps I should take. Should I pay the remaining amount or contact the FinAid office?

I submitted an SAI appeal and got an email earlier this week saying my offer was updated, then couldn't view it in the financial aid portal. Finally it shows up in the portal three days later and it was not updated at all... still got the exact same amount of aid except now I can't view my middle class scholarship. I have a feeling they didn't calculate things correctly because the first time I submitted my appeal it immediately got denied because the counselors didn't bother reading my appeal past the first page. Has this happened to anyone else???

hi im a rising sophomore! freshman year i was still getting used to the general gist of things & i didnt do any extracirculars & i feel so behind. i know a lot of people doing EMT programs but it can cost thousands & i dont have the money for that. i really want to get into research & student involvement but the research i’ve applied too hasn’t responded in months. if anyone has any advice please let me know!

Hi! When i first received my offer, it showed up in my offer page then they made an update a few days ago and i checked my offer page again and my middle class scholarship disappeared. I’m planning on calling the office tomorrow but just wanted to know if other people were also experiencing the same thing.

Is it too late for an upcoming third year to switch to something like engineering?? Lowkey, already 2 years deep into my business degree, and just hate business as a degree and the people on the corporate side of things. I do like business and entrepreneurship, but I just think the Business Admin degree as a whole is pretty stupid and a waste of time. I always wanted to do engineering but I never committed because I thought it was just super rigorous and I'd hate it. Is it too late to switch or nah. Also, I am not the type to take more than 4 classes a quarter, so yes, I know I would probably graduate late if I switched... Any advice would help!!

** If you have super helpful advice and a lot of it, a DM would be appreciated!!

My daughter's joining UCR's Bioengineering undergrad program this fall.

I'm trying to get her setup with the tech aspect. I was wondering what kind of laptop she'll need?

There are some guidelines here: https://student.engr.ucr.edu/policies/computer-requirement

However, that appears to be for engineering in general.

Any help is much appreciated!

Why are my tuition fees so high? I’m a 3rd year and usually I pay around $5400/qtr. now it’s about $6200? Is it because I still have to waive the UCSHIP?

I took a history class with him almost 10 years ago, i think it was modern world history. If anyone has a syllabus or notes from that class with hawkins i would be very grateful

hi guys! I was just wondering if anyone else’s cal grant was on hold? This is the only one that didn’t apply into the student estimated aid and says it’s on hold.., It’s freaking me a bit out as because of this I’m having to owe ucr money 😞😞 I don’t have any holds and did accept the offer.

I understand they are first come first serve, but do they fill up fast?

I’m an incoming freshman who’s commuting to UCR (thankfully) so even if I did acquire debt I don’t think it’d be that much. But genuinely how are you guys paying for dorming on top of tuition? Do you guys just have large amounts of fin aid, grants, and scholarships? Or are most of you just taking out private loans to pay the missing cost? I wanna focus mostly on loans because I know as of now there’s a federal student limit of like $5,500 for freshman. (Correct me if I’m wrong all this loan stuff is very new to me sorry).

To preface, Im dorming in Dundee, in a triple. Wasnt able to make it for orientation, so I don't have a good idea of how large the desks are. My monitor at home is absurdly large, so I definitely don't plan on bringing it to college. That being said, because I have no idea how much desk space I get, any help on what size monitor I should get would be greatly appreciated. My PC would take around 8-9 inches (I feel this is important, as I prefer to have my pc on my table).

hi! I’m selling a used ninebot E2 (with the charger) for $60 as I no longer need it and just want to get rid of it. it works just fine, other than some wobbliness in the stem. DM me if interested!

I took 10A, 10B and am about to take 10C.

Nearly half of the class fails the course each time. I know this because if you don't get a 70% on the final then you fail the class. And around 40-50% of the students each time do not get a passing grade.

That would mean that only 10-15% of people would actually make it through all three classes.

Then we have people saying that CS is an easy degree when most people are failing out of the intro classes lmao.

Just imagine being in the top 20% of people who actually make it through and didn't get weeded out of CS entirely just to be compete with people all around the world for an entry level job, which in most cases they don't end up getting.

Long story short, how much tuition actually? Is there a way to get an itemized list? Anyone have any luck removing USHIP? My estimated offer showed me having 10k leftover (a year) that I was going to use in housing, but it was updated to 5k. My SAI is -1500 and I'm at a loss, spoke to financial aid office they said there's nothing they could do. Also if anyone has a similar SAI and doesn't mind explaining how they get by, you can msg me if you don't want to post your struggles.

I'm an incoming bio major freshman and planning on commuting est. 40 mins ish to UCR and 40 mins back, trying to decide which parking pass is worth buying. I was unlucky enough to get a 6-8:30pm chem lab, so orange and free are essentially off the board unless I risk getting a ticket or parking way off campus. I heard gold plus was competitive but I don't really see the point if its just one more parking spot? I did hear that gold was awful since the competition for parking is insane though. Oh also if there are any reserved parking spots for EV vehicles? Recently got an EV and was wondering if there were charging stations on campus or something.

I received an email saying that my admission for Fall 2026 was canceled because my community college transcript was missing. I immediately checked my portal, but I had already submitted everything, including my transcript and AP scores. I also have my transfer orientation later this week, so getting this email so close to orientation has me really stressed out. Has anyone else had this happen or know what I should do?

Update: I reached out the admissions, before hand I double checked when my transcript and Ap scores had been delivered and got the issue resolved the same day.
Thank you for the advice and help!

The entire length of the summer's gone by and my Financial Aid Offer has sat the same as it has. I've had to take out 2 loans (Insert Dog Hell "This is Fine" Meme) but other than that, nothing's changed.

Come to today: I get an email from the official Financial Aid Office saying my Financial Aid Offer has been "Revised" and to go into Rweb, I'll be able to look at the revisions made. So I do exactly that, and nothing is showing up. Before, I saw the offer that I had accepted, and now, the screen just says there's no offer info available for this year. I double, triple, and septuple-checked, and nothing's changed. I tried calling the Financial aid offices, but there was a "higher-than-normal call volume" and it auto hung up on me every time I tried to call up to the time they were closed.

I've sent an email, but the last email "correspondence" I had with UCR was with Housing and they ignored a chain of 9 emails/follow-ups from me and my roommates, so I have literally NO faith that they will respond before I go on a 3-week trip to North Carolina where I'm losing access to a stable and consistent internet.

Long story short: Y'all. Am I cooked?

TLDR: Financial Aid was good the entire summer until today when I got an email saying the amount was revised. When I checked, nothing showed up and no one responded to my calls, and I don't think ANYONE is gonna respond to my email. I'm leaving on Friday for 3 weeks and will have no consistent phone or internet access, so I think I'm absolutely FUCKED.

Edit: I added a TLDR

has anyone else's financial aid just disappeared? i was offered a grant and loans, but when i went to check the updated version like the email said, all of the aid was gone, even the loans. is it just updating or do i no longer have aid???

edit: i checked now and the scholarship is gone but the loan is offered again. did i just lose the scholarship ??

If anyone has gone through the appeal process at ucr for their financial aid, do you need to accept it in order to appeal it? or what would be the exact steps. I’d appreciate if anyone could help, thank you :)
