No Disbursement of Financial Aid on 11/14/12
Because we are working on the tuition fees roll back, we will not run a disbursement of financial aid funds on 11/14/12. Regular disbursement processing will resume no later than 11/26/12. For students who are entitled to a refund of the tuition fees they paid for Fall 2012, those refunds will be issued separately from financial aid disbursement processing.

California Dream Act Expands State Grant Eligibility to AB 540 Students for Fall 2013 and Spring 2014
Students determined eligible for a waiver of non-resident tuition under AB 540—and not already eligible for state and federal financial aid—are now eligible to apply for state grant aid under AB 131. CA Dream Act does not affect eligibility for federal aid.
