<p class="MsoNormal">Hello BMSC Graduate Students:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Academic departments were just informed at 10:30am today, that there is an issue with the fellowship/awards system and the student account system. Refunds that were scheduled for disbursement on the first day of the quarter (Monday, March
28), were delayed due to a glitch in the system. There was an issue that prevented fellowships/stipends from being paid out today for several UCR graduate students. Tuition, GSHIP and student services fees were processed for all eligible students, however
if you are expecting a fellowship stipend or financial aid award, there was a systemwide delay. The Graduate Division and Student Business Services are urgently working to correct the problem.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can check the status of your fees and payments on your Student Account Online link in the Student account tab in
<a href="https://rweb.ucr.edu/">R'Web</a>. You can also check your UCR e-mail account for notifications of any refund transactions. I also encourage you to check if there are any holds on your account that will further delay your payments from posting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will keep everyone posted once we receive notice of the issue being resolved.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your patience and understanding.<o:p></o:p></p>
