Fee deferrals

Fee deferrals protect course enrollment and delays the payment of tuition fees. Fee deferrals are temporary and are removed at the beginning of each semester. To prevent enrollment cancellation, all requested financial aid documents must be submitted to the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office by the scheduled fee payment deadline. The financial aid fee deferral does not apply to housing charges.

Dream Act - AB 131

The passage of part two of AB130 bill now allows undocumented (immigrant) students to qualify for California state grant programs. The bill goes into effect January 2013. Students can apply for state financial aid programs at that time to qualify for state aid for the Fall 2013 – Spring 2014 academic year. Additional information will be provided as the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office receives further notice on the application process.
