We're excited to share that the 2027-2028 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and CA Dream Act Application (CADAA) are now available for all students and their families to complete. These applications are required to apply for or renew your financial aid for the upcoming fall 2027, spring 2028, and summer 2028 semesters. Students must also renew their FAFSA or CADAA to be considered for University aid. Stay tuned as we will provide additional resources to help students and their families complete the FAFSA and CADAA.
Fall 2026 Financial Aid Disbursement
Financial aid disbursement for fall 2026 begins on August 17 (excluding Law students). Your financial aid, including grants, scholarships, and loans, are applied directly to your university charges. Be sure to review your financial aid portal to confirm all aid has been accepted and unsatisfied requirements are completed. Review your billing statement in View & Pay to verify your financial aid has been applied to your fall bill. If your financial aid exceeds your bill, the remaining credit will be processed as a refund via paper check or direct deposit. We strongly recommend setting up direct deposit as it is the fastest and safest way to receive your refund. Please allow 2-3 weeks for refunds to process. Learn more about disbursements and instructions to set up direct deposit.
