Financial Aid Termination to Students with Certificate, AA/AS or BA/BS, or higher
according to A&R records
Schools participating in the Title IV Student Financial Assistance Programs are required to establish a policy governing the length of time during which a student must complete their
educational goal, either a certificate, an Associate Degree or transferring to a four year institution for a Bachelor’s Degree. The policy at Santa Ana College allows students to
attempt up to 24 units to complete a certificate and 90 units to complete an Associate Degree or transfer to a four year institution to complete a Bachelor’s Degree. Students who
already completed their academic program and still continue to take courses to pursue a new academic program are required to appeal for their new educational goal. If approved,
AA/S students may be eligible for most of financial aid programs, however, BA/S students may only be eligible to borrow a student loan.
You have reported to the Admissions and Records Office that you have either
• Received a Certificate, if your academic program is for a certificate only,
• Received an AA/S degree, or
• Received a BA/S degree, or higher
If the result of your FAFSA shows that you have financial need, you may be eligible for the California College Promise Grant (CCPG) (formerly known as the BOG Fee Waiver).
If you have paid your enrollment fees for Summer 19, Fall 19, or Spring 20, please check with our Financial Aid Office for your CCPG eligibility status before
contacting the Cashier’s office for a refund(s). If you have extenuating circumstances, you may appeal by following the appeal procedure below. The Financial Aid
Committee will review your appeal and evaluate your extenuating circumstances documented on this form. You will be notified by mail of the committee decision. You will not be
paid for a semester if your appeal is approved after the semester has ended. The deadline to submit your appeal documents for Summer 2020 is 07/09/20, Fall 2020 is 11/13/20
and Spring 2021 is 05/14/2021.
APPEAL PROCEDURES:
1. Make an appointment with an Academic Counselor in the Counseling Center at Santa Ana College or EOPS Counselor if you are in the EOPS program.
