Fall Semester Bill Update

The UC Office of the President has just approved the fees for this coming academic year. The per unit cost is $3,046.70. Because the approval came later than expected, it has delayed the university in generating bills for fall. We expect bills to be generated by early next week. The fall bill is due August 15th.
The Financial Aid department will be going over this in more detail during WE LAUNCH and can answer any questions you have at that time.

EWMBA Library Resources

There are a myriad of library resources to assist you during your time here at Haas. Review the library orientation for EW students here.
Our EWMBA Librarian, Monica Singh is available if you have any questions. She can be reached at msingh@haas.berkeley.edu or 510-643-0528.
