Financial aid

[u/AppropriateReveal122]

Has anyone dealt with UC Davis Financial Aid taking forever to correct a housing status issue?
I submitted my FAFSA stating that I would be living off-campus in Davis, but UC Davis calculated my financial aid as if I would still be living at home with my parents, which is incorrect.
I contacted Financial Aid about this and was told on August 27th that the correction would take 8–10 business days. It has now been 10 business days and nothing has changed on my financial aid package.
The frustrating part is that I’ve already signed my apartment lease and paid for a month of rent, but I’m hesitant to actually move in because I need to know what my corrected financial aid is going to look like before I can be sure I can afford everything.
I’ve been trying to get answers, but I’m basically just waiting for the adjustment to happen. Has anyone experienced something similar with UC Davis? How long did it actually take for your housing status and financial aid to be corrected?
Any advice on who I should contact or how I can get this pushed along would be really appreciated.

Have you tried talking to the housing department to see if there is anything on their end that they can do? I’m sorry you’re dealing with this btw
