General Information

The Financial Aid Literacy Seminar was developed in response to changes in federal regulations that affect both the institution and students and to help students borrow responsibly. We have also included information regarding several changes that have occurred both at the Federal and Institutional levels.  Understanding the new Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy and how your decisions can impact your financial aid is important information allowing you to make informed decisions.

The online seminar is composed of six units which can be completed in 2 - 2.5 hours at your convenience, however your financial aid check disbursement is dependent on completion of the course. The on-campus course is usually completed within the same time frame of 3 - 3.5 hours.
