Your Financial Aid Award Letter is your official notice of Financial Aid eligibility for the academic year. Students can access their Financial Aid Award Letter by clicking on their Financial Aid Award email. The Financial Aid Award Letter outlines key details such as housing status, net cost, cost of attendance, and includes helpful resources to support understanding of the aid package.
Students can also access their Financial Aid Award information directly in GET, under the "View Financial Aid" link. Select the correct aid year to view the year desired and review all information carefully. A standardized "College Financing Plan" is also available in GET.
To calculate a balance, students must identify their total direct expenses (e.g. tuition, fees, housing) and subtract accepted financial aid credits such as grants and scholarships.
One Stop Financial Services sends billing notices all students via email. Please check your Cal State LA email regularly so you don't miss your e-bill notifications. Additional information about payment options are available on the One Stop Student Financial Services Website.
