A. Fees and Bills
Student registration and other fees are billed by Student Billing Services. Bills are viewed and paid through your CalCentral account. Consult theStudent Billing Services website for complete and up-to-date information.
B. Students Receiving Financial Aid
If you are receiving financial support from the Financial Aid Office, a University or extramural fellowship, or a departmental grant, all or part of this support will be applied to registration fees. Awards will be listed as credits on your billing statement. If these awards do not cover your entire fees and other charges, you will need to pay the minimum amount indicated on the bill. If you are being sponsored by an outside entity such as a governmental agency or a foundation, it is your responsibility to ensure that fees are paid and properly credited. If you have questions, please consult the Graduate Division’s Financial Aid website.
C. Stipend Awards
If you have been awarded a stipend as part of a fellowship, payment may be available as early as the Friday before instruction begins. In order to have stipend awards released, you must have no blocks on your registration, must have registered for at least one class, and must have paid a minimum of 20% of your fees (as applicable).
You are strongly encouraged tosign up for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), which allows stipend checks to be automatically deposited into your personal bank account. This avoids having to stand in long lines to pick up paper checks. Please note that there are two separate types of funds transfer: one for stipend checks, and one for payroll checks (the latter apply to students who hold a GSI/GSR or other type of appointment for which they are paid). You may sign up for Direct Deposit for paychecks as a GSI or GSR through the department that hires you.
