Intersession Financial Aid Application Available Online- October 1st. Submit your application by November 1st to meet the priority deadline.

Summer Financial Aid Application Available Online- February 1st. 

Intersession: Maximum number of units is 4.

Summer: Maximum number of units is 13 overall. For each individual summer term, the maximum amount is 1 unit more than the number of weeks in the course. For example, a Pre-Session course that is 3 weeks long, the maximum would be 4 units. 

Students who would like to take more than the maximum allowed can use the Overload Approval Form to appeal registration over the max number of units. 

Parents who will be taking out a parent plus loan on behalf of their student to cover Summer or Intersession tuition, should follow the instructions and submit the Parent Plus Loan Form for the correct term. The Parent Plus Loan form will be accessible via the student's portal under the Financial Aid Requirement section, once their financial aid award has been offered.
