Electronic Payments
Payments can be made electronically by using MyUCDavis: http://my.ucdavis.edu. Non-Davis students can set up access to MyUCDavis by visiting http://computingaccounts.ucdavis.edu and clicking on “Get your UC Davis Computing Account.” Non-Davis students will need their UCD ID number (available via your Summer Abroad student login approximately 2 weeks after enrollment).

Deferment of Payments 
If you are receiving financial aid for the 2007-2008 academic year, you may request a deferment of payment. The deferment request form must be submitted electronically prior to enrolling in your program. Payment is due 5 business days after the expected disbursement of your aid (mid-June). Please note that you are liable for all fees regardless of the amount of your final disbursement.

California Veterans Fee Waiver
Students eligible for a California Veterans Fee Waiver can have the Course Fee waived. If you are eligible for this waiver, please send a copy of your award letter for the 2007-2008 academic year to Summer Abroad at 207 3rd St., Suite 220, Davis, CA 95616. Or fax to (530) 297-7142.

Financial Aid for UC Davis Students
Financial aid is available for UC Davis students from the UC Davis Financial Aid Office. To qualify, students must complete a FAFSA for the 2007-2008 academic year and fill out a Summer Aid Form. Summer grants apply only to the Course Fee (estimated at $1176 for 2008).  The Financial Aid Office will not give grants for the Accommodation and Activities Fee or the Program Fee, unless you have grant funds leftover from the previous year. Loans are often available from Financial Aid for these fees.

To apply for summer aid, you must complete the Summer Aid Form available online in early May at http://financialaid.ucdavis.edu/index.html .

How much aid is available for UC Davis students?
The Financial Aid Office (http://financialaid.ucdavis.edu/index.html ) will post the Summer Aid Estimator sometime in mid-March. You may use the estimator to calculate the potential aid available for your selected program. Summer Abroad will send a link to the Summer Aid estimator to UC Davis participants who requested a deferment as soon as it is ready.

A sample of a possible Summer Abroad budget and Financial Aid Award has been compiled below to give you an idea of how much or how little aid is available.

*The amount of a loan award depends upon several factors, such as eligibility, the total amount that you have already accepted during the 2007-2008 school year, and the maximum loan amount allowed. In some cases, the actual loan award will be less than stated here. For details about your financial aid package, go to the Financial Aid Office in Dutton Hall.

Maintaining Financial Aid Eligibility
Students receiving Financial Aid for Summer Abroad are reminded of the following program requirements to retain financial aid eligibility for Summer Abroad:

• Unit Requirement: To be eligible for summer aid, you must be enrolled in a minimum of six units per session of enrollment. Aid will be subject to cancellation if you drop below six units.
• Cancellation/Withdrawal: If you receive financial aid and subsequently cancel or withdraw from the program, you may be required to return financial aid funds received. Return of Title IV funds received is based on published schedules and the date you officially withdrew or canceled your registration. If you cancel or withdraw, notify the Financial Aid Office immediately.
• Change in Enrollment: If you change your summer enrollment status, notify the Financial Aid Office immediately.

NOTE: Summer aid will be applied to any charges that exist on your student account before your financial aid remainder check is issued.

Financial Aid for Non-Davis Students
Other UC Students
All Summer Abroad students interested in summer aid must apply for aid at their home campus Financial Aid office. The UC Davis Summer Abroad office will provide an enrollment confirmation letter, by request. All UCs award aid for summer sessions at other UC campuses. All financial aid recipients are responsible for paying their Summer Abroad fees within five (5) business days after the aid is dispersed. Aid is not automatically transferred to UC Davis.

Students at UC Berkeley and UC Merced must be enrolled in 9 quarter units in order to receive aid. Please contact a UC Davis Summer Abroad Program Coordinator for more information.

Students from Outside the University of California
UC Davis does not provide aid for students from other institutions. Please see your home campus financial aid office to inquire about assistance for a UC Davis Summer Abroad program.
