If your financial aid has not fully posted by the payment deadline at UCLA, you will face immediate consequences as the university does not offer a formal grace period for BruinBill payments.

Consequences of Late Payment

Failure to pay your balance by the 20th of the month can lead to several penalties:

• Financial Holds: A hold (typically a KR or AF2 hold) will be placed on your account, preventing you from enrolling in classes, accessing campus services, receiving grades, or obtaining a diploma.
• Late Fees: Your account may incur late registration and processing fees.
• Dropped Classes: If student services fees are not paid in full by the deadline, your classes may be dropped according to the Registrar’s calendar.
• Service Inactivation: Certain services, such as UCSHIP (health insurance), will remain inactive until late payments are processed, which can take up to two weeks.

While a standard grace period does not exist, there are specific situations where you might be protected:

• Anticipated Aid: If your tuition and registration fees are fully covered by financial aid, you may wait until the scheduled disbursement date to settle fees automatically.
• Protect from Drop List: If your aid is delayed but you have submitted all required documentation, you may be placed on a "Protect from Drop" list to prevent course cancellations for non-payment.
