Need help understanding your billing statement? 

No worries! The SFC can help! 

The Financial Aid office has posted yout billing statement on the “my bill” tab of your UC Merced student portal. 

Your "Authorized Aid Balance" is how much financial aid you have to cover your "Overall Balance". 

If the amount is negative under "Bill Balance" or “Pay Now” then that is how much you'll receive as a refund, but if it is a positive amount, then that is how much you need to cover out of pocket by Wednesday August 19th.

Still need some help?

Call or stop by the Students First Center! [phone]

OR EVEN BETTER:

Use our chat service!

Welcome to the family :) 

Did you bring your family with you but they are not partaking in the parent orientation? 

Have them wait while you attend you college orientation in the Lantern Cafe! It gets pretty hot here, ESPECIALLY during the summer! 

I noticed that some parents were waiting for their students in their cars, and that could get pretty hot! 

The Lantern Cafe is on the first floor of the library, where students have breakfast for the first hour of orientation. The Library is the very first building you see after crossing the bridge.  Please let your parents know! There are water fountains and air conditioning in the library! And WiFi. :)

This checklist also shows you tons of resources UC Merced has to offer you new bobcats! :)
