Hello, I'm an incoming freshman this year, and decided to participate in the Explore program. Since I had to use the 2025-2026 FAFSA form to receive aid for this summer, should I simply put that I'm staying at home on the provided housing plan? Also, I was given $1849.00 in aid and paid the additional $800 it said I owed on the UCI Summer Session. If I reject the loans awarded to me on Zot Aid, will an additional $725 appear on my account to pay off? If anyone has done it in previous years, it might seem obvious, but I'm anxious about messing anything up, as UCISS already says my account is on registration hold.

Thank you!
