There is a limit of 18 quarters of financial aid. 18 quarters may seem like a lot, but as a transfer student, UCLA takes into consideration the time you spend in community college. I don’t know how they equate community college work and financial aid to quarters, or how they know if you did or did not accept financial aid prior to transferring to UCLA. Maybe, it’s not a UCLA thing, maybe it’s simply a federal thing? Prior to UCLA I had done 3+ years of coursework at other colleges. And, from my current experience, UCLA has/is only funding 8 quarters of financial aid. After the 8 quarters(my 8th quarter at UCLA will be in the fall) I would have to pay the bill.</p>
