Based on admission grade level, students are eligible to receive aid for the following number of quarters of attendance:

Graduates:

Required to meet the academic eligibility requirements of their department. This period is determined in conjunction with the student’s academic adviser.


Undergraduates:

* Freshman - 18 quarters

Sophomore - 15 quarters

Junior - 12 quarters

Senior - 9 quarters


Note:

* Students who received aid for a quarter and withdraw during that quarter, will have that quarter counted toward the unit requirement.

All quarters of attendance count toward the duration of eligibility whether aid is received or not.

I had Sophomore standing due to AP credits. Does the financial aid office take into account AP credits when determining how many quarters of financial aid I am eligible for?
Let’s say it takes me 5 years to graduate. Will I get less funding since CAL Grant and Federal Pell Grant is out? Would they replace those with University of California Grant?


Thanks.

Thanks.
