Steps to Manage Financial Aid, Enrollment and Billing before School Starts

| by

Ensure a smooth start with these 5 tips.

  1. Review and complete all outstanding tasks in CalCentral.
  2. Get your financial aid on time (beginning August 19).
    Resolve any holds and make sure you are enrolled in a minimum of 6 units.     Estimate your balance due or expected refund and create a spending plan.
  3. Get your money faster.
    Sign up for direct deposit and learn more about how it works.
    Still need a paper check? Pick up on the 2nd floor of Sproul Hall Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. and Saturday, August 24, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. A Cal 1 Card or government-issued  ID (driver’s license, passport) is required. Only you can pick up your check (no friends, roommates, parents or partners).
  4. If you want, grant your parents/guardians or partner delegate access.
    Make sure they have their code phrase so they can view your financial information in CalCentral, pay bills, or speak to Cal Student Central.
  5. Need to speak with someone? 
    • Cal Student Central (financial aid, billing and payment, enrollment, transcripts, document drop-off)
      Sign up for same-day appointments at the tent on the Sproul Hall steps August 19-30 (afterwards, at the front desk in the foyer of Sproul Hall). Open Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Photo ID required.
    • Cal 1 Card (campus ID)
      Join the virtual queue at either of the self-service check-in kiosks on the first floor of Sproul Hall (north entrance). Open Monday through Friday 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Funding-for-Undocumented-Students-UCB_10-9-2018
