To be considered for financial aid, you must:

• be a US citizen or eligible noncitizen;
• be registered with Selective Service (if required).

Extension/continuing education students are ineligible for financial aid.
• be making satisfactory academic progress;
• not owe a refund on a federal grant or be in default on a federal educational loan;
• have financial need (except for Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans); and
• be a California resident for state financial aid programs (SUG, EOP, Cal Grant A, B and T).
