Summer classes come under the previous years FAFSA. So to find out is you are eligible for aid for summer 2008 you would have to file 2007-2008 FAFSA using the income information from 2006. I do not know if you would be eligible as you would be taking the summer classes not as a degree seeking student at that institution - call them and ask.

If you have any merit awards from USCD be cautious of taking summer classes before you start there especially if you have other credits such as AP credits or concurrent enrollment credits. At my daughters orientation last year it was pointed out that if a student took summer classes at a CC and those credits plus the AP and concurrent enrollment credits totalled over a certain number they would be considered transfer students and lose eligibility for any freshman scholarships they had been awarded. I don’t know if this would apply to your school but check to be on the safe side.
