We are now processing financial aid for all students who submitted a FAFSA for Summer quarter. Please know our team is hard at work preparing your funding as quickly as they can. Please monitor your ctcLink for more up to date information. Summer aid applicants enrolled in summer classes will be prioritized.
Here is what you need to know:
- You might not get your financial aid funds before the tuition deadline – but don’t panic. We will not be dropping students for non-payment for summer quarter.
- You still will be responsible for your tuition eventually, but we are giving students extra time because of financial aid distribution delays.
- If you have submitted your 2024-2025 FAFSA, please know that our team is hard at work to prepare your funding as quickly as they can after receiving your information included in your FAFSA.
- If you are interested in financial aid as a funding source for your summer quarter tuition and fees, but have not yet submitted a 24-25 FAFSA, please do so as soon as possible.
- If you are not planning to apply for financial aid and will be self-paying for summer quarter tuition/fees, please pay your tuition in full as close to the June 6 deadline as possible.
- Unpaid account balances can result in negative repercussions such as enrollment blocks for future quarters.

Changes in Financial Aid Office Hours:
The Financial Aid offices will be closed Monday, June 24 - Friday, June 28th. We will resume normal hours on Monday, July 1, 2024.
Check Your FAFSA® status at studentaid.gov
The delays in the new FAFSA® process will affect our review of your eligibility.
It means that we will not receive your application, see any of your submitted FAFSA information, or be able to advise on financial aid eligibility until a later date (currently estimated for some time in June 2024).
It is important that you file your FAFSA® and regularly check back on its status to make any corrections. Check your FAFSA® summary to see if there are messages and respond appropriately.
If you want help completing your FAFSA®, plan to attend one of the upcoming financial aid nights hosted by our college or community organizations.

Summer 2024 registration
Please know we are here for you and are actively seeking solutions to help those registering for Summer 2024 classes with holistic support. Our goal is to be as timely and transparent as possible and will provide you with regular updates when available.
We are focusing our assistance on two areas: basic needs, as well as tuition and fees.
Tuition and fees
The college is committed to not dropping students for Summer 2024 for non-payment for those who have filed their 2024-25 FAFSA®. This would allow us to apply your awarded financial aid to your balance. You would remain responsible for your out-of-pocket account balance.
Basic needs
The college and the district are working to develop funding that could assist students in need. We are still exploring a variety of options, including emergency grants, that would help you to meet your basic needs during Summer 2024.
Application Processing
We will begin processing FAFSAs in mid-June. If any information is needed before we can determine your eligibility, we will contact you at the email address you have listed in ctcLink to let you know.
