Hi Cohort 6,

Doug is going on vacation for the next few weeks, so administrative questions will have to go elsewhere for the time being. Your number one resource for issues related to class registration and billing is our student academic services office. If you have credentialing questions, please first visit our How To Apply page, then consult with Lynda is you still have questions. Below is a reiteration of the courses you should be registered for, and the billing amounts that should be paid, and links to the online course evaluations we asked you to do. All academic and course questions should continue to go to Lynda and/or Janette.

Billing and Payment

You can check your current fees on Bearfacts.

Here's the breakdown again:

1. Total tuition for Fall $3633.95 (if this amount is $4216.95, then you did not waive health insurance)
2. Graduate School pays $1700, new total is $1933.95.
3. Deferred payment plan results in 5 payments of $386.79. ( you will also be billed an additional $40).
4. First payment must be made by August 26th, and must be paid be "e- check".
5. You can see your fees owed and set-up an "e-check" account on http://bearfacts.berkeley.edu.
If you are not utilizing deferred payments, you can pay the total amount of $1933.95 anytime between now and September 26th. After September 26th, late charges will apply.
Note: if your registration amount is an amount thousands of dollars higher than that, it means that you are being assessed non-resident tuition. This can be rectified by filling out the Statement of Legal Residence form, which is available on bearfacts by clicking the "SLR" button.

Deferred Payment Plan
To exercise the Deferred Payment Plan Option (info at http://billingservices.vcbf.berkeley.edu/StudentServices/deferredPay.htm), you must pay 20% of your fees by August 26. You also must pay using the "e-check" system, accessed through your Bearfacts account.

People have complained about how slow checking your email is through the calmail web site.Take a look at the new http://bearmail.berkeley.edu site; this is appreciably faster for checking your calmail account, and is recommended by the Calmail system administrators. I have changed the link in the "UC Links" drop-down menu above.

Cohort 6
If you have health insurance coverage through your employer you will want to waive the mandatory University insurance plan (CLICK HERE). Click on “I want to waive SHIP enrollment” towards the bottom of the page. It will ask you to enter you CalNet ID for authorization, then complete the form. The $586 bill for health insurance may still show up on your bill, but will be removed when they process the waiver.

If you do not have any insurance ignore this message. You are automatically enrolled in the University plan. The $586 per semester fee is billed to your CARS account. For more information. click here.

If you have trouble with this, please see me. Remember, the deadline is August 15th.

For those of you who have recently established berkeley email addresses, in the form of "yourname@calmail.berkeley.edu", did you know that you can leave out the "calmail" part and just use "yourname@berkeley.edu"? It works fine and is easier to remember!

05/31/05

The calendars for cohorts 5 and 6 have been combined into one calendar, accessible from the "PLI Links" drop-down menu. Each event listing starts with the time, then states which cohort is applies to, i.e. "1:00 PM, Cohort 6, etc... "

Welcome to Cohort 6! Please take a look around, and be sure to read the welcome letter from the Cohort 6 drop-down menu above....

BERKELEY – University of California, Berkeley, police are investigating the theft of a campus laptop computer that contained files with the names and Social Security numbers of more than 98,000 individuals, mostly graduate students or applicants to the campus's graduate programs.

The computer was stolen March 11 when an individual entered a restricted area of the Graduate Division offices that was momentarily unoccupied. A campus employee saw the individual leaving with the laptop and contacted campus police. The case remains under investigation.

The stolen computer contained information on most individuals who applied to graduate school at UC Berkeley between fall 2001 and spring 2004 (except law school students); graduate students who enrolled at UC Berkeley between fall 1989 and fall 2003; recipients of doctoral degrees from 1976 through 1999; and other small groups of individuals. Approximately one-third of all of the computer's files contained dates of birth and/or addresses in addition to Social Security numbers and names...
