It is the students’ full responsibility to make all housing payments by the payment deadline. Students will not receive a bill or invoice by the campus. Fees must be paid by the deadlines listed unless the student is on a financial aid deferment plan. How to Make a Payment We would prefer that all housing payments be submitted directly to the cashier’s office in Dutton Hall (mailing address can be found on the Cashier’s Office Website) Checks should be made payable to UC Regents. Students should list their name, student identification number and the participation quarter on the check and submit it with a payment coupon to ensure the payment is credited to the correct account.
Financial Aid The rent at the Washington Center is $3,306.00. If you are a student receiving financial aid, you can elect to be on the housing payment deferment plan. The deferment plan allows students to be billed the total housing cost by the student fee deadline on September 15, 2016. You are responsible for paying all the housing cost by this deadline. Please note that you will not receive a paper bill. Students with an unpaid balance will be assessed a late fee and dropped from their classes. Do You Want Your Housing Payment Deferred For the Fall 2016 Quarter? Email Cheryl Purifoy by Friday, April 29, 2016. Please put this in the subject line of your email "Last Name, First Name: Financial Aid Deferment Request". Example: Purifoy, Cheryl: Financial Aid Deferment Request. IMPORTANT deadlineS Deferment Request (See directions above in yellow box) $20 Non-Refundable Processing Fee + Payment Coupon
DUE: Friday, April 29, 2016
Make checks payable to UC Regents. Please include your student ID number on the check. Do not submit this fee prior to deadline.

Resume, Cover Letter, & Internship Search We will help you to write, review and format your resume and cover letter to make you the most competitive candidate possible. We have scheduled three coffee hours. You are welcome to attend any or all of these events. If you cannot attend these events go to the ICC events.
Internship Interns carry a variety of responsibilities, including researching, writing, and attending and reporting congressional hearings. In addition, students may be responsible for general office organization and upkeep. The most successful interns are competent at working individually or in group settings, and are committed to learning as much as possible from the experience. Students working for academic credit work three to four days per week (24-32 hours) to allow time for academic and research obligations. Internships with Early Deadlines Because of the need to satisfy a security clearance, some internship deadlines occur before Washington Program deadlines. These organizations include the Department of State, the Department of Defense, and the White House.
