PAYING BY CREDIT CARD
Click on Course Fee Payments. Log in (UCD LoginID and Kerberos password - the same login/password you use for SISWEB) and enter the total number of classes that you plan to take for the quarter (including Cross Registration courses). Pay for the courses using your credit card. You then receive an e-mail receipt that you have paid. You are released for units and can enroll via SISWEB. You can pay using up to 2 credit cards (one for each course), but you must log in separately for each credit card payment.

If you wish to request Cross Registration, be sure to select the Cross Registration option when registering so the course differential fee is calculated into your total.

PAYING BY CHECK OR MONEY ORDER (Faxes not accepted)
Click on Course Fee Payments. Log in (UCD LoginID and Kerberos password - the same login/password you use for SISWEB) and enter the number of classes you plan to take. Print and return the Registration Request Form with your payment to the University Cashier. You can only submit check/money order payment via mail or in-person at the UC Davis Cashier’s Office on the main campus.

Mail (check or money order) payment with legible registration form including phone number to:
UC Davis, P.O. Box 989062, West Sacramento, CA 95798-9062.

WAIT LIST OPENS Monday, November 30
To register for a wait listed class, you must pay for the units prior to enrolling.  You are on the wait list if you see a number (001, 002, etc.). This number indicates your place on the wait list. If you see 000 instead, you are NOT on the wait list.

You can view where you are on a wait list after it opens in the Student Detailed Schedule (on SISWEB); position #1 means first on the wait list.  Once wait listed, students are moved from the wait list into available seats each night after registration closes.  You do not receive a notice once you are added.   Check SISWEB periodically for your most current enrollment status.

The professor cannot change your place on the wait list.

CROSS REGISTRATION OPENS December 1 - and closes December 10
You may request enrollment in Davis and Bay Area courses if there is space available and you follow the cross registration instructions.  If you intend to use the cross registration option, only make the cross registration payment and request once cross registration is open.  If you choose to pay for cross registration courses after your initial payment, follow the instructions for Adding An Additional Course.

NOT ENROLLING THIS QUARTER
File a Non-Registration Statement by the last day of registration.   UC Davis determines that any break in registration means a student has withdrawn from the program. Filing the Non-Registration Statement confirms your continued program eligibility.

Please note, you must complete 18 units (6 courses) for minimum academic progress for the 2009-10 academic year. Not meeting the minimum academic progress requirement results in you being placed on Academic Probation.

USING EMPLOYER LETTER OF CREDIT

The University accepts an employer letter of credit (LOC) as payment for course fees. All payment and registration deadlines and procedures apply to students using a LOC as payment (see Letter of Credit Payment).

The credit organization only pays for the courses stated on the LOC. If you change your mind and enroll in another course, you cannot be reimbursed unless you file a new LOC with Student Accounting for that quarter (by the first day of the quarter).

If you are not enrolled in the appropriate number of units (298 or 299 courses), you cannot be reimbursed for the total cost of the course.

A LOC is not accepted after the first day of the quarter for payment that quarter. A LOC cannot be submitted retroactively for previous quarters.

A LOC must be signed and emailed directly to Cherie Hood, Student Accounting, .  (Faxes no longer accepted.) Your UCD ID number recorded in the top right corner of the document is mandatory. Once a complete LOC has been submitted, you are able to enroll within 3 business days. If you need to follow-up, contact at (530) 752-1444.

Every LOC MUST include the following: UC Davis GSM (not University Extension), course name, number and CRN, the dates for the entire 10 week quarter (no variations), and your UCD ID number recorded in the top right corner.

If a LOC does not have this information, it is returned to you for corrections and therefore delays your payment. (You are subject to the $250 registration penalty fee if you submit an incomplete form and you miss the payment deadline because corrections or additions are needed to properly process the LOC.)

SAMPLE INFORMATION FOR LOC
Institution: UC Davis Graduate School of Management
Approved Courses: (80714) MGP 270-1 Corp Financial Reporting; (80713) MGP 261-1 Investment Analysis
For courses that begin between the period of: 01/04/10 to 3/22/10
Amount: (your total course fee)

It is your responsibility to work directly with your employer's credit organization on issues regarding LOC issues. The GSM cannot contact a credit organization on your behalf.

If your company has only recently decided to offer the benefit of paying fees using a LOC, you need to contact Cherie Hood to set up the appropriate account for your employer.
