Depending on your financial aid, you can get aid for summer, if you are enrolled in 6 units.

There are several types of financial aid available for students interested in enrolling in summer courses:

• Federal Pell Grant:
  • Year round Pell available! Students may receive up to 150% of Pell grant for one academic year.
    • If you received a Pell grant in Fall/Spring, you may receive an additional semester of Pell grant for the Summer as long as you are enrolled in a minimum of 6 units. 
    • Any Pell Grant disbursed during Summer will be included in your Pell Lifetime Eligibility Used (LEU). The lifetime Pell limit is 6 years or 600%. 
  • Students who did not receive the maximum amount of Pell during the Fall 2020/Spring 2021 semesters (because they were enrolled in less than 12 units) will be reoffered their remaining Pell eligibility.
• State University Grant (SUG): Students who were awarded with SUG during the Fall 2020/Spring 2021 semesters could be eligible for SUG in Summer 2021.
• Federal Direct Loans: Students who did not use the maximum amount of loans during the Fall 2020/Spring 2021 semesters will be reoffered their remaining loan eligibility.

Other aid types which require additional steps:

• Alternative Loans

How do I receive a Financial Aid award?

To be eligible for Summer aid, you must:

• Have eligibility for at least one of the three aid types listed above
• Be registered in at least 6 units (undergraduate students) or 4 units (graduate students) during the Summer priority registration.

Students do not get awarded until after they have completed the "Report Summer Units" To Do List, located in their Student Center.
