  Step Three - Application Review
 


Prospective Students

Your application will be reviewed when—

  • you are officially admitted to the university, and
  • we have received all necessary documentation.

The Office of Admissions notifies the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships (OFAS) of your admission status. You do not need to notify our office.

Current Students

Your application for financial aid will be reviewed as soon as we receive all necessary documents from you.

We may request additional information from you based on a Financial Aid Counselor's review of your application. You will be directed to check AidLink.

Financial Aid Holds

A financial aid hold may be placed on your award if we need additional documentation or information.

If this occurs, you will be notified and directed to check AidLink for further instructions.

Financial aid holds can affect the evaluation of your eligibility and delay the disbursement of aid funds.

Limited Eligibility for a Second Master's Degree Program

If you are pursuing a second master's degree, you may be eligible for State University Grant and the Direct Loan Program.

Eligibility is limited to two years (four FTES and/or 38 units).

To receive aid in subsequent years, you must provide a copy of your Official Program of Study for the second master's degree.
