Haas Against Hunger: Thank you!
- Thank you to those who supported Eugene Kim and Zeenia Irani, EW 23s, in their Haas Against Hunger campaign!
- "We are humbled and proud to share that in a short period of time we surpassed our fundraising efforts and that we will be providing over 5,000 meals to vulnerable children in developing countries. The chat with Dr. Chase Sova, Senior Director of Policy at WFP went very well as well - over 35 students attended and we shared the impact of WFP's work and our work helping those on the brink of famine."
- Thank you to the fellow Haasies who donated; they surpassed their goal with a final total of $5,085!

- Reminders from the Office of the Registrar
- To be officially registered at UC Berkeley you must meet three criteria:
- You must be enrolled in at least one class.
- 20% of tuition and fees must be paid, or the first installment of the Fee Payment Plan. (Instructions for how to pay another amount here.)
- You must not have holds against your registration.
- A late registration fee of $150 will be charged by the Office of the Registrar to all students who are not officially registered on Friday Feb 5 (third week of instruction based on the main University calendar).
- Billing and Payment Services Updates
- In light of these challenges and to alleviate students of these potential pressures, UC Berkeley will temporarily suspend the assessment of late fees on student accounts. Effective as of Mar 16, 2020 late fees will not post to student accounts. They will revisit the late fee assessment as appropriate and will continue to update students with current information.
