[Poscgrad] Preparing for the Winter '24 Qtr

[Lorena Jaramillo]

Hi Graduate Students,



I hope that this week marks the beginning of some much-deserved rest!


The office will be closed from Friday, December 22nd through January 1st, below are some quick reminders.



Enrollment: All students must be enrolled in full-time status, in at least 12 units. This applies to ALL students regardless of your year or status - but excludes students who have filed for a Leave of Absence.



If you are NOT enrolled in 12 units ASAP then your applicable refund and/or tuition and fee remissions will be delayed.



If you are unable to self-enroll due to an instructor consent block or cannot increase your course units, please submit a POSC Graduate Enrollment Form, see link here<https://forms.gle/MJyMpoZikzHNHwPn9> (form links will always be listed below my email signature). Enrollment requests will not be accepted via email. Using the POSC Enrolment form allows me to collect the necessary information to process your enrollment request timely and accurately.



Winter '24 Financial Aid will begin disbursing to student accounts on Monday, 1/8/2024; for students enrolled in at least 12 units. All stipends are first applied to any pending and/or outstanding charges at the time of disbursement, the remaining balance will be disbursed to you.



For students enrolled in Direct Deposit, once you see the aid disbursement on your UCR student account, you can expect the deposit to be routed to your bank in 3-5 business days. Refund checks can be expected within 7-10 business days. Refund checks are only generated and mailed out on Tuesdays. Checks will be mailed to your address on file, be sure that your address is up to date in your student account to avoid delay in your refund.



If you have not already done so, I highly encourage you to sign up for Direct Deposit. This is the fastest way for you to receive your financial aid. You can apply for Direct Deposit through your R'Web student account.



Request a Change to your Degree Audit: Your Degree Audit is used to academically clear you for degree completion, be sure to check your Degree Audit every quarter for errors. If you need to make a change, please use the Degree Audit form to make that request, see the link here<https://forms.gle/Eza1WJRBXbMt2dR29>.


It's a pleasure to work with each of you, I wish you all a long renewing break!


Kind regards,
