Enrollment for Summer Session 2019 begins in April. Enroll in at least 6 summer units at your earliest opportunity for possible priority financial aid funding (if eligible).

Did you know the number of units you are enrolled in impacts the amount of financial aid you receive? Initial financial aid packages are based on full-time enrollment. As long as you are enrolled in 12 or more units for a quarter, your aid will not change due to enrollment. If you enroll in less than 12, you will likely see adjustments to your package. If you enroll in less than 8 units, you will likely see a reduction in your package and could owe back financial aid you have already received. Enrollment for financial aid purposes is frozen generally after the first two weeks of school immediately following the deadline to add classes.
