2008-09 Award Package
If your Financial Aid award package includes a Subsidized Stafford Loan, Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, Perkins Loan, PLUS Loan, Alternative Loan or Federal Work Study, you will not be able to accept these funds until after July 31, 2008. With the possibility of a fee increase in May and other adjustments to awards, we are trying to limit the number of times you will need to accept these awards and allow ample time for our office to process any changes that might occur during this time. |

State University Grant Changes
Effective Winter 2008, students receiving outside tuition resources will no longer be receiving State University Grant.

Cal Grant Disbursement Changes
Beginning Spring Quarter 2007, the disbursement process for Cal Grant funds will undergo a change. Cal Grant funds will only be disbursed to students who are enrolled on a full-time basis after the pre-registration period. If you are receiving the fee portion of Cal Grant A or Cal Grant B your award will be disbursed if enrolled at 6.1 units or more. The disbursement process will take place on a weekly basis in order to capture those students who add units to full time.
After the add/drop period had ended, students who are enrolled less than full time will receive their disbursement of Cal Grant funds based on final enrollment. Please refer to the Units required section of our website to determine eligibility. The process will allow for a decrease in the billing process for students who receive Cal Grant funds in excess of the allowable amount. This process will continue on a quarterly basis. |
