Summer Financial Aid FAQWho is eligible? Continuing
SJSU students
who have been awarded financial aid for the current academic year are eligible for
summer aid. To be considered for summer aid, you must be registered in at
least half-time units at San Jose State University (6 units for
undergrad/post-baccalaureate/credential students, 4 units for graduate
students). How do I apply for Summer Aid?Once registered in the required units, come to our office
and speak with a Financial Aid Representative to determine your summer aid
eligibility. I will be a new student to SJSU in the Fall term. Can I get aid for a summer class?New students are
not eligible to receive aid for the summer term. Do I qualify for a fee deferral?Yes. A fee deferral is temporarily assigned to your record to protect your classes and delay the payment of registration fees while your financial aid process is completed. You are responsible for paying the difference between your financial aid award and your fees. I would like to take 3 units at SJSU and another 3 units at a community college or university. Does this count as half-time enrollment?No, it does not count as half-time enrollment. You must be registered in at least half-time units at San Jose State University. Will my financial aid pay my registration fees and other debts?Unpaid
registration fees
are automatically
deducted from your aid. If your aid does not cover the full
balance of your fees, you must pay the balance shown on MySJSU by the
scheduled due date. What if I receive additional funds from another source?Students are required to report any outside aid such as scholarships, stipends, veterans or vocational rehabilitation benefits to the Financial Aid Office. In some cases, it may be necessary to revise your summer financial aid award. When will my summer financial aid be disbursed?Aid is disbursed after the second week of the summer session, for eligible students. Can I have my check directly deposited into my bank account?If you would like to have your financial aid disbursement check electronically deposited to your bank account, sign up for eRefunds.
Will I get separate checks or a single check?A check will be disbursed for all financial aid funds that are ready for disbursement. The balance of your financial aid will be sent to the address that is in MySJSU after all fees are paid. What if I change my classes after receiving my award notification?You must notify the Financial Aid & Scholarship Office if you make any
adjustments or changes to your classes after you have been awarded summer
financial aid. Your award was calculated based on the number of units and weeks
of enrollment you had contracted to complete. You will be required to repay any
overpayment. What if I am not eligible for financial aid?If a financial aid
representative determines that you are not eligible for financial aid, you will
be responsible for paying your registration fees by the fee due date or you will
be subject to enrollment cancellation. You may contact the Bursar's Office for payment
arrangements.
Can I receive financial aid at more than one college?
No. You can only receive financial aid at one college during the same enrollment period. You will be required to repay any overpayment. |
