Plan Ahead & Complete the FAFSA<br />

It takes a little time to complete the Free Application for Federal Student<br />

Aid (FAFSA). Once your form has been submitted, it will take several<br />

weeks to process. And, it will take several additional weeks before your<br />

first financial aid check arrives.<br />

• Financial aid is available to students who can demonstrate financial<br />

need.<br />

• Non-California residents may also qualify for financial aid.<br />

• Non-residents who don’t qualify for a fee waiver, may be eligible for<br />

financial aid.<br />

Pay Attention To Deadlines<br />

Fall SEMESTER: To increase the likelihood that your financial aid check will<br />

arrive at the beginning of the FALL semester, submit your application in<br />

the Fall (usually by March 2).<br />

sPrING semester: To increase the likelihood that your financial aid check<br />

will arrive at the beginning of the Fall semester, submit your application at<br />

least three months prior to the start of the semester (usually mid-November).<br />

(you may apply for aid through the end of each semester. However, the later<br />

you apply, the later you will receive your financial aid funds.)<br />

Enrollment Fee Waivers<br />

If you are a low-income resident of California, you may qualify for a Board<br />

of Governors Enrollment Fee Waiver which covers your enrollment fee. It<br />

DOES NOT cover books and living expenses. It is recommended that you<br />

complete the FAFSA to apply for a fee waiver.<br />

Note: When you submit the FAFSA form, you are automatically<br />

considered for the fee waiver. If you need the fee waiver immediately,<br />

however, you may use a separate Board of Governors Fee Waiver form.<br />

Forms are available in the Financial Aid Office, Clausen Hall 111A. Usted<br />

puede solicitar ayuda financiera para lo siguiente: Matrícula • Libros •<br />

Gastos (Alguiler de Casa, etc.)<br />
