FALL 2019 FINANCIAL AID UPDATE

Student Census Date

The Effects on Financial Aid Payment of Funds

Cal Grant and Pell Grant funds are paid based on the student's unit enrolment as of the "Student Census" date for the semester.

See Academic Calendar 2019-2020.

6-8 units = ?-time payment of funds (50%) 9-11 units = ?-time payment of funds (75%) 12+ units = full-time payment of funds (100%)

Example:

A student is enrolled in 6-units as of the census date and the student adds an additional 6-units for a total of 12-units after the Census date has passed.

The financial aid payment will be based on part-time (50%) and not full-time enrolment.

It is IMPORTANT that students complete their aid/drop process by the Student Census date published in the Academic Calendar.
