Tipos de Ayuda Financiera
Ayuda Económica Gratuita - Becas sin costo al estudiante que no tienen que ser ganados ni pagados. Trabajo - Dinero que el estudiante obtiene como sueldo de un trabajo dentro o fuera del campus. Préstamos - Dinero prestado que debe ser pagado, generalmente con intereses. Types of Financial Aid There are three major types of financial aid – grants and scholarships, work-study, and educational loans. Grants and scholarships are gift aid that does not need to be earned or require repayment. Grants are usually based on the student’s demonstrated financial need. Scholarships are generally based on talent and/or merit. While there are a number of grants and scholarships available to California students, the Cal Grant program is one of the most widely available. Cal Grants are an example of gift aid based on need and merit. We will discuss Cal Grants in more detail later in the presentation. While Gift Aid does not need to be earned through employment, you must still earn your financial aid by taking and passing classes and by maintaining good grades. When a college financial aid administrator talks about SAP, they are not being insulting. Rather, SAP is an acronym for Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), which requires students to maintain at least a 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale and to pass enough classes to be on track to graduate within 150% of the normal time-frame for the degree, such as within 6 years for a 4-year degree and 3 years for a 2-year degree. Work programs provide opportunities for students to earn money to help pay for school expenses. Both students and parents can borrow from a variety of low interest educational loan programs designed to help with the educational expenses of the student. Student loans usually do not require repayment until the student is no longer in school. Parent loans may require payment while the student is still in school.

Fuentes de Ayuda Económica
Gobierno Federal Gobiernos Estatales Colegios y Universidades Agencias privadas, compañías, fundaciones, y ciertos empleadores Sources of Financial Aid By completing the financial aid applications and any other documents required by the colleges and universities to which the students are applying, they may be considered for funds from: - the federal government; - the state government; as well as - colleges and universities themselves. Private agencies, companies, foundations, and maybe even the students’ and parents’ employers provide scholarships for college. Though important, these sources provide less than 6% of the total financial aid awarded to students. Check with each of the private agencies, companies, and foundations to which the students wish to apply about application forms and deadlines. Scholarship resources can be found at under the Student menu.

Cal Grants Let’s talk about Cal Grants – an important source of grant funds provided by the State of California for California students. Students planning to attend a California college or university may be eligible to receive one of the following Cal Grants. Grade Point Average (usually referred to as the GPA) is an important eligibility criterion for these grants. Awarded grants may be renewed if students and their families continue to meet all eligibility requirements. Please note: for purposes of the Cal Grant A and B Entitlement Awards, a “recent high school graduate” is defined as a student who is applying for a Cal Grant within 18 months of high school graduation. Cal Grant A - To be eligible, students need a minimum 3.0 GPA as a high school student or recent high school graduate or 2.4 GPA as a transfer student. Transfer students are defined as students attending a California Community College and planning to attend a Bachelor Degree Granting Institution. Their families must have income and assets that are lower than the state-established ceilings and must demonstrate financial need. This grant currently covers system-wide fees at the California State University and University of California campuses and up to $9,084 of tuition and fees at independent California colleges and universities. Cal Grant B - This grant is for students who have a minimum 2.0 GPA as high school students or a 2.4 GPA as a transfer student. These students are low income disadvantaged families, who meet state income and asset ceilings and demonstrate financial need of at least $700. This grant provides a small stipend of about $1,670 per year for up to four years to help with living expenses at all schools. In addition, the grant covers system-wide fees at California public 4-year institutions and up to $9,084 of tuition and fees at independent 4-year California schools. Students attending for-profit career colleges currently receive grants between $4,000 and $9,084 per year. In most cases, the tuition and fee portion of the Cal Grant B is available to students in their 2nd through 4th years only.

Cal Grant Application Requirements In order for a student to be considered for a first-time Cal Grant, the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) requires that he/she submit both the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and the Cal Grant GPA Verification Form by March 2, We encourage all applicants for federal and state aid to file as soon as possible after October 1, 2016. Students who may be eligible for Cal Grants under AB540 should complete the California Dream Act application at instead of the FAFSA. This includes AB540 eligible DACA students. The Cal Grant GPA Verification Form is also required. Students with a Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status should also check with the colleges and universities to which they apply for admission to see if they should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or other forms, but should complete the California Dream Act Application first. Most high schools submit student grade point averages directly to CSAC on behalf of their students. Others require that students complete the student section of the Cal Grant GPA Verification Form. (The student section of the form asks simple information such as the student’s name, address and Social Security Number). If the paper form is required by the student’s current school, it is important to submit it as soon as possible to the high school counselor or registrar because it may take a few days to certify the student’s grade point average. The student can download a Cal Grant GPA Verification Form at: The GPA Verification Form must be postmarked no later than March 2, 2017. Check with the student’s high school Counseling Office/Guidance Center to see if he/she needs to submit the paper Cal Grant GPA Verification Form or if the high school will submit the GPA electronically on the student’s behalf. If the high school submits the Cal Grant GPA Verification Form electronically, the student may have to authorize the release of his/her Social Security Number. We urge students to file these forms as soon as possible. Don’t wait for the March 2nd deadline and miss out on a valuable grant that, like other grants, does not have to be repaid. Students who have qualified and received a Cal Grant for the previous school year should complete the FAFSA as soon as possible after October 1, 2016 and check with the financial aid office at the school they will attend for any other requirements. The GPA Verification Form is not required.

FAFSA Información & Sugerencias
Preséntela con anticipación a más tardar el 2 de marzo de 2017, para ser considerado para una beca Cal Grant. Aproxime los ingresos del 2015 si la declaración de impuestos no ha sido tramitada al momento de presentar la FAFSA. La mayoría de personas han presentado sus declaraciones de impuestos federales del antes del 1 de Octubre del 2016. No utilice información de ingresos o declaraciones de impuestos del año 2016. El estudiante y al menos un padre cuya información sea reportada deben llenar y firmar la FAFSA. FAFSA Information and Tips It is important to submit the FAFSA as early as possible after October 1, 2016, but no later than March 2, 2017, to be considered for a Cal Grant. Remember, families should report estimated 2015 student and parent income information if their 2015 federal income tax forms have not been completed at the time they submit the FAFSA. Most people will have filed their 2015 federal income tax returns by October 1, 2016. Do not use 2016 income and tax information. Appeal to the college for a professional judgment review if 2016 income is lower. The student and at least one parent whose information is reported on the FAFSA must complete and sign the FAFSA. This parent is often referred to as the custodial parent.

FAFSA en internet (FOTW)
La aplicación de Internet es utilizada por mas de 99% de estudiantes y padres de familia para completar la FAFSA en linea en: Incluye modificaciones sofisticadas en internet de manera lógica que ayuda a evitar errores. Ayuda en Internet está disponible para cada pregunta. El estudiante y por lo menos un padre con custodia deben obtener un ID federal (FSAID) para firmar la FAFSA en: FAFSA on the Web (FOTW) The primary benefit of using FAFSA on the Web (FOTW) is that the processing time is significantly reduced. Students and schools receive a response from the federal processor more quickly, which in turn assists schools in preparing a more timely notification of eligibility for financial aid. (This is a definite advantage if the student is trying to decide between two or more schools.) Other benefits are: - Fewer errors on the form. Built-in edit checks will not allow the family to go to the next section if something is left incomplete in a prior section. Before submitting the FOTW, the program will do a final review of the entire application, checking for missing and/or conflicting information. - Thanks to skip-logic, there are fewer questions to complete. This means that the student will not be asked questions that do not apply. (Example: unmarried students will not be asked questions about a spouse.) - In many cases, drop-down boxes are provided so the family can choose from a selection of responses. - Families who have submitted their 2015 federal income tax returns may be able to transfer IRS data directly to the FOTW by using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool - As soon as the FOTW is submitted, a Confirmation page can be printed to instantly verify that the application has been submitted. This page will contain a Confirmation Stamp showing the date and time that the FOTW was successfully submitted. Students should print out a copy of the Confirmation page for their records To take full advantage of the FAFSA on the Web, remember that both the student and one of his or her custodial parents must have a Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID) to electronically sign the FOTW. NOTE: For the remainder of this presentation, the terms FAFSA and FAFSA on the Web (FOTW) will be used interchangeably.

¿Porque User la herramienta de consulta y traspaso de datos del IRS (DRT)?
El Uso de la herramienta de consulta y traspaso de datos del IRS (DRT) permitirá agilizar el proceso de solicitud de la FAFSA. Los estudiantes y las familias podrán: transferir electrónicamente información de ingresos e impuestos de su declaración de impuestos federales del año anterior directament a la FAFSA. reducir la probabilidad que su FAFSA sea seleccionado para verificación. ahorrar tiempo y evitar problemas para el estudiante y su familia. Cualquier elemento de datos que se copia de una declaración de impuestos federales tal como fue presentada antes al Servicio de Impuestos Internos (IRS) sin modificación no estará sujeta a verificación. Algunos colegios y universidades requieren que sus estudiantes utilicen la herramienta de consulta y traspaso de datos del IRS, ya que reduce el número de FAFSA que deben ser verificados por la escuela. Why Use the IRS Document Retrieval Tool (DRT) Using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) will streamline the FAFSA application process. Students and families will be able to electronically transfer income and tax information from their prior-prior year federal tax return to the FAFSA. reduce the likelihood of the student’s FAFSA being selected for verification. save the student and family time and hassle. Any data element that is copied from a federal income tax return as filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) without modification will not be subject to verification. Some colleges and universities require their students to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool because it reduces the number of FAFSAs that must be verified by the school.

Usando un FSA ID para firmar la FAFSA
La FSA ID permitirá a los estudiantes y padres de familia acceder y firmar electrónicamente la versión online de la FAFSA con un nombre de usuario y contraseña seleccionada por el usuario. Este nuevo proceso de inicio de sesión será más seguro, ya que elimina la necesidad de que los estudiantes y padres proporcionen información de identificación personal (PII), tal como su nombre, fecha de nacimiento y Número de Seguro Social (SSN), cada vez que acceda Departamento de EE.UU. sitios web de Educación. Este cambio permite auto-servicio de recuperación de contraseña por correo electrónico sin requerir al solicitante de revelar información de identificación personal. También permite cambios de nombre (por ejemplo, a través del matrimonio) sin necesidad de una solicitud de un nuevo FSA ID. Los estudiantes y sus padres con custodia deben obtener un FSA ID lo mas antes posible ya que muchas familias han reportado dificultades en la creación de un FSA ID. Using a FSA ID to Sign the FAFSA Create a FSA ID at fsaid.ed.gov before completing the FAFSA. When creating a FSA ID, it is important to list the student’s name exactly as it is shown on the student’s Social Security card. The FOTW will ask for the student’s first and last name. For example: report Susan Jones, not Suzie Jones, if Susan is the student’s first name on the Social Security card. Students and their custodial parents should get an FSA ID ASAP as many families have reported challenges in creating and FSA the FSA ID. It’s important to write down your FSA ID in case it cannot be remembered.

Otra forma útil – Forma FAFSA en Internet
Aunque este formulario no es requerido, la hoja de trabajo en línea para FAFSA puede: Ayudar algunos estudiantes y sus padres a prepararse para llenar la FAFSA en línea (FOTW). Puede ser utilizada el 1 de Octubre de 2016 hasta Junio 30 de 2018 para el ciclo de solicitud de ayuda federal del año escolar que empieza el primero de Julio 2017 y termina el 30 de Junio 2018. Another Useful Form- FAFSA of the Web Worksheet In our presentation today, we will focus on how to complete the FAFSA on the Web (FOTW) – the online FAFSA. There is another form that may be useful, but not required – the paper FAFSA on the Web Worksheet. While the Worksheet does not have all the questions you will find on the FOTW, it is a good place for some students and their families to start the process of applying for federal financial aid. (NOTE: If the presenter is not using the FOTW Worksheet, he/she should hide this slide.)

Preparándose Antes de comenzar la FAFSA en la Web (FOTW), tenga listo lo siguiente: Licencia de conducir del estudiante. Tarjeta de registro de extranjero del estudiante, si es aplicable. Estudiante y Padre: Tarjetas de Seguro Social. Formularios W-2 del 2015 de dinero ganado y otros registros de ingresos. Formulario de declaración federal de impuestos 2015 (aunque todavía no se haya completado). Registros de ingresos libres de impuestos. Estados de cuentas bancarias actuales. Registros de negocios, granjas, y otros bienes raices. Registros de acciones, bonos, y otras inversiones. Completar la hoja de cálculo para FOTW (opcional). Crear un archivo con copias de todos los documentos enviados. Getting Ready Here is a list of records families may need, based on their circumstances, in order to complete the FAFSA. Filling out the FAFSA will be easier and less time-consuming if the student and the family gather these records before going on-line or starting the paper form. Keep in mind that not all families will have all of these records. The student will need : -Student driver’s license (if the student has one); and -Student Alien Registration Card (if the student is an eligible noncitizen) Student and parents will need: - Social Security cards - W-2 forms, 1099s, records of any money earned in 2015, and records of other taxable income such as unemployment benefits federal income tax returns (if completed). Remember, 2015 federal tax returns do not need to be completed to apply for student financial aid. It is more important to submit the FAFSA and other aid applications by the published deadlines using estimated data than to wait until 2015 student and parent tax returns are actually completed. - Records of 2015 untaxed income - Current bank and real estate records - Records of any stocks, bonds, and other investments While this is an optional step, students and their families may find it useful to complete the FOTW Worksheet. Notes for Presenters: Mention the Worksheet only if you are distributing it. If you are not distributing the FOTW Worksheet, do not mention it here and adjust the text of this slide accordingly. For future reference, be sure to keep copies of all financial aid documents used to complete the FAFSA, a copy of the completed FAFSA as well as a copy of the Confirmation page and Student Aid Report. Students must reapply each year for financial aid.

If a student has recently become a U.S. citizen, he/she should contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) to update his/her status. Otherwise, when the U.S. Department of Education matches data with the SSA, the Agency may report that the student is not a citizen and may be considered ineligible to receive federal and state aid. Some students who are not U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens may be eligible for Cal Grants and/or aid provided by the college or university to which the students are admitted. These students are those who qualify under the California Dream Act and are AB540 eligible. DACA recipients should complete the California Dream Act Application – not the FAFSA. For financial aid purposes, an eligible noncitizen is someone who meets one of the following criteria: -A U.S. permanent resident with a Permanent Resident Card (I-551),or -A conditional permanent resident with a Conditional Green Card (I-551C), or -Other eligible noncitizen with an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94) from the Department of Homeland Security showing any of the following designations: “Refugee,” “Asylum Granted,” “Parolee” (I-94 confirms paroled for a minimum of one year and status has not expired), T-Visa holder (T-1, T-2, T-3, etc.) or “Cuban-Haitian Entrant;” or -The holder of a valid certification or eligibility letter from the Department of Health and Human Services showing a designation of “Victim of human trafficking.” - A resident of the Republic of Palau (PW), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (MH), or the Federated States of Micronesia (FM) - A Canadian-born Native American under terms of the Jay Treaty. 26

Parte 1 – No Ciudadano Elegible
Si es no ciudadano elegible, escriba su número de registro de extranjero (ARN) de ocho o nueve dígitos. Escriba un cero antes de un ARN de ocho dígitos. Es posible que se solicite una copia de la tarjeta de registro permanente en la oficina de ayuda financiera. Si no es ciudadano o no ciudadano elegible, el estudiante no es elegible para ayuda federal. Estos estudiantes deben verificar con la oficina de ayuda financiera para otras oportunidades de ayuda financiera. Si el estudiante es indocumentado (como definido bajo la ley AB540), puede ser elegible para ayuda financiera estatal bajo el California Dream Act. Visite: Eligible Noncitizen If students indicate “eligible noncitizen,” they should write in their 8- or 9-digit Alien Registration Number. Students should precede an 8-digit number with a zero. Students who list their Alien Registration Number may be asked by the colleges or universities to provide a copy of their Permanent Registration Card. Some recently naturalized citizens may also be asked to provide a copy of their Naturalization documents. It is legal to photocopy these documents for financial aid purposes. Neither Citizen nor Eligible Noncitizen If students are in the U.S. on: an F1 or F2 student visa; a J1 or J2 exchange visitor visa; a G series visa (pertaining to international organizations), or other categories not included under U.S. citizen and eligible noncitizen they are not eligible for federal student aid and should not complete a FAFSA unless instructed to do so by the financial aid offices of the colleges or universities to which they are admitted. The financial aid office will help these students complete the correct forms. The following students are not eligible to file a FAFSA or a California Dream Act Application and should contact their campus financial aid office for assistance to see what kind of financial aid they may be eligible to receive and what forms they should complete. These students are: Non-immigrants granted one of the following visas: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, TN, TD, V, TROV, and NATO. T visa holders are eligible to apply for federal and California student financial aid. T visa holders should file a FAFSA and identify themselves as eligible non-citizens. U visa holders are not eligible for federal student financial aid, but they are eligible for California student financial aid. U visa holders must file a California Dream Act Application. If the student is undocumented as defined in AB540, he/she may be eligible for state financial aid. Learn more at If students are in the U.S. and have been granted Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals (DACA), they should complete the California Dream Act Application. Students with an F1 or F2 visa, a J1 or J2 exchange visitor visa or a G series visa, should select “No, I am not a citizen or an eligible noncitizen.” Such students are not eligible for federal aid and should not complete the FAFSA unless a college or university instructs the student to do so. We will provide information about some free scholarship searches for students in one of these ineligible categories or who are undocumented students in the next slide. 27

Estudiantes Indocumentados
Los estudiantes indocumentados, aunque no sean elegibles para la ayuda federal, pueden: Comenzar a consultar en la escuela primaria o secundaria para ver si es posible que el estudiante adquiera la residencia permanente. Observar los cambios en las leyes federales y estatales con respecto a la elegibilidad de los estudiantes indocumentados o insuficientemente documentados. Considerar la aplicación de la Acción Diferida para los llegados en la Infancia (DACA) que permite la autorización de trabajo. Estudiantes indocumentados que soliciten las becas Cal Grant y otra ayuda estatal deben completar la aplicación de California Dream Act, no la FAFSA. Consulte con los colegios y universidades para ver si ayuda financiera institucional está disponible Llamar a MALDEF (213) Los estudiantes deben solicitar todas las becas para los cuales pueden ser elegibles. Para obtener una lista de becas, visite: 15_MALDEF_Scholarship.pdf y Undocumented Students Undocumented students, while not eligible for federal aid, may want to; start inquiring in elementary and high school to see if it is possible for the student to become a permanent resident; watch for changes in federal and state laws regarding the eligibility of undocumented or under-documented students; consider applying for federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) which allows for work authorization; if an undocumented student, apply for Cal Grants and other state aid should complete a Californian Dream Act Application, not the FAFSA; check with the colleges and universities to which the student plans to apply to see if institutional financial aid is available; remember to apply for all scholarships for which the student may be eligible. For a list of scholarships, go to as well as

Parte 1 - Elegibilidad del Estudiante sobre Condena de Drogas
Los estudiantes que nunca han asistido a la universidad desde la escuela secundaria no se les pedirá ninguna de las preguntas de condena por drogas Los estudiantes que indiquen que han asistido a la universidad antes se les preguntará si alguna vez han recibido ayuda federal para estudiantes Si la respuesta es "sí", a los estudiantes se les preguntará si fueron condenados por posesión o venta ilegal de drogas. La mayoría de los estudiantes responden “No" a esta pregunta y no se les hará ninguna pregunta adicional Incluso los estudiantes que han sido condenados por un delito de drogas, mientras estuvieron en la universidad y recibiendo ayuda financiera federal pueden todavía ser elegibles para recibir ayuda financiera federal Student Aid Eligibility Drug Convictions Students who have never attended college since high school will not be asked any of the Drug Conviction Questions. Students who indicate that they have attended college before will be asked if they have ever received federal student aid and been convicted of selling drugs while receiving federal aid. If they answer “Yes,” they will be asked if they were convicted for the possession or sale of illegal drugs. Most students will answer ‘No” to this question and will not be asked any additional questions. Even students who have been convicted of a drug offense while in college and receiving federal financial aid may still be eligible to receive federal student aid. Simply having a drug conviction does not mean that the student will not be eligible for federal or state aid.

Parte 1 – Elegibilidad del Estudiante sobre Condena de Drogas (con’t)
Student Aid Eligibility Drug Convictions (Continued) Most students will see this screen next since they are eligible for consideration for federal (and state) financial aid. If any other information appears on the screen, the student should follow the directions and talk with the financial aid offices at the colleges and universities they hope to attend. It does not necessarily mean the student will be ineligible for federal student aid consideration.

Parte 2 Selección de la Universidad
La FAFSA en Internet permite al estudiante anotar hasta 10 colegios y universidades que recibirán la información del alumno y padre. La lista de las universidades no será compartida con las instituciones educativas señaladas en la FAFSA. Es, sin embargo, compartida con las agencias de becas del estado los cuales pueden dar derecho a las becas estatales dependiendo si una universidad estatal aparece en el primer lugar en el formulario. El estudiante debe anotar en la lista primero las escuelas de California que él / ella tiene más probabilidades de asistir. El estudiante puede volver a reordenar sus opciones de escuelas. A continuación listar las escuelas restantes a las que el estudiante está solicitando admisión. School Selection In Section 2 of the FOTW, students may list up to ten schools and/or scholarship programs to which they want their information sent. If students want to send their information to more than ten schools, they can delete and add schools when they receive their electronic SAR Acknowledgement or paper SAR. The list of colleges will not be shared with the colleges listed on the FAFSA. It is, however, shared with state grant agencies who may base eligibility for state grants on whether a state college is listed first on the form First, list the California school the student is most likely to attend, and then list others to which he/she is applying for admission. If the student is awarded a Cal Grant, the student’s award at that college or university will be determined by the California Student Aid Commission. After entering schools on FOTW, the student may change the order of the schools by following the simple directions found in this section. There are some additional features in this section of FOTW that allow students to find more detailed information about each school they list in this section.

Parte 2 Selección de la Universidad (cont’d)
Cuando esté en la sección de selección de escuela, al estudiante se le pide que introduzca la ubicación y el nombre o el código de la escuela federal por cada escuela a la que él/ella desea que la información FOTW sea enviada. Si el estudiante no sabe el código federal de la escuela, anote el estado en el que el colegio/ universidad se encuentra y busque el código de la escuela federal por el nombre del colegio/universidad. School Selection (continued) Students will need to use a federal school code for each of the schools they list in Section 2. Students can look up their school codes when they are completing this section of the FOTW. Be sure to enter the state where the school is located to make the search for the name of the college or university easier. This will give the student the federal school code. Please note that this federal code number is different from the SAT, ACT, and CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE code numbers.

Parte 2 Selección de la Universidad
Estrategias para Enumerar Universidades Enumere primero un colegio o universidad en California (para consideración de Cal Grant). A continuación enumere las universidades con las fechas límite de ayuda financiera más cercanas, independientemente si están dentro o fuera del estado. Si está presentando solicitud en más de 10 universidades, espere que el reporte de ayuda para estudiantes (SAR) sea procesado y agregue universidades adicionales, eliminando los colegios anteriores si sea necesario. A través de la Web, utilizando el FSA ID del estudiante. Por teléfono, utilizando el DRN del SAR. School Selection (continued): Strategies for Listing Colleges Here are some tips for completing Section 2 — especially if the student is applying for financial aid at more than ten colleges or universities or scholarship programs. Students should make sure to list a California college or university first to ensure Cal Grant consideration. Then, list the colleges with the earliest financial aid deadlines, regardless of the state where the colleges are located. Students should make sure to include their first and second choice colleges. It’s important to keep in mind that the U.S. Department of Education's processor will send data to only ten colleges at a time for a student. Students applying to more than ten colleges can add additional colleges when they receive their processed Student Aid Report (SAR). We strongly recommend that students sending their financial aid information to a large number of colleges use FAFSA on the Web and sign the form using FSA IDs. This will make adding additional colleges easier and faster. If the students add colleges by phone, they will need their DRN which can be found on the SAR. If the student originally listed ten colleges on the application and then replaced all ten with new colleges by changing his/her SAR, only the second set of ten colleges will get new data from any subsequent corrections made to the FAFSA data. In this case, the student should alert colleges in the first group of any changes. Financial aid is awarded by each individual college or university campus. Therefore, each UC and CSU campus to which the student is applying for financial aid must be listed separately in Section 2 of the FOTW. For Cal Grant Entitlement purposes, if a student decides to attend a college that is not the first choice listed on the FAFSA, the student should contact the California Student Aid Commission. Later in the presentation, we will provide more information about managing your Cal Grant online. NOTA: Cada UC y CSU debe ser enumerada por separado

Parte 2 - Selección de la Universidad (cont)
SAN JOSE CITY COLLEGE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA (UCLA) CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY OF CHANNEL ISLA CLAREMONT MCKENNA COLLEGE 001315 001282 039803 001170 School Selection (continued) – Housing Arrangements Next, students select the housing plan that best describes the type of housing they expect to have while attending each listed college or university. The student selects a planned living arrangement - “On campus,” “With parent,” or “Off campus” for each school listed. The student should list “On campus” if unsure whether he or she will live with parents or on campus.. Remember, selecting the On Campus housing option is not an application for On Campus housing. The student should check with the colleges/universities for housing application information when they apply for admission. Make sure not to miss any important housing application deadlines if the student plans to live in campus housing. Students who live with parents or relatives may get less aid. On the far right column, the student will see a navigation tool that may be used if the student chooses to change the order of the listed school choices. Se le pedirá al estudiante que seleccione el plan de vivienda que mejor describa el tipo de vivienda que el estudiante espera tener mientras asista a cada escuela anotada. Las opciones para la vivienda son: en el campus, con los padres, fuera del campus. La elección del estudiante de vivir con los padres o familiares puede afectar la cantidad de la ayuda financiera de que él / ella es elegible. Recuerde, la selección de una opción de vivienda en el campus no es una aplicación para el alojamiento en el campus. Consulte con los colegios/universidades para la información de la vivienda cuando usted solicite la admisión.

Parte 3 - Determinación de la Condición de Dependencia del Estudiante
Si contesta “no” a todas las preguntas de esta parte, se le pedirá que vaya a la Parte 4. Para los fines de clasificación de la FAFSA, se considera que el estudiante es dependiente y debe proporcionar información de sus padres. Si alguno de los artículos de esta sección corresponde al estudiante, él / ella debe marcar la casilla correspondiente, y saltar la Parte 4 y pasar a la Parte 5. El estudiante es considerado un estudiante independiente para fines de clasificación de la FAFSA y NO se requiere que proporcione información de sus padres. Los estudiantes dependientes que tienen circunstancias inusuales pueden solicitar a la universidad para una anulación de la dependencia. Determination of Student Dependency Status If the student answers “No” to all questions in this section, he/she is considered a dependent student and his/her custodial parents will be required to provide information in the Parent Demographics and Financial Information sections. If the student answers “Yes” to at least one of the questions in this section, he/she will be considered independent and will be asked to provide information only for him/herself and for his/her spouse, if married. NOTE: If the student has circumstances that make him/her believe that he/she is independent, then he/she may request special consideration from each college or university by submitting a letter of special circumstance directly to each financial aid office. Appeals are considered on a case-by-case and are decided by each individual college. Not all appeals will be granted. For today’s purpose, we will assume that most students are required to provide custodial parental information and so we will move on to the Parent Demographic section now.

Parte 4 Información Demográfica de los Padres
Si la respuesta a cualquier pregunta es cero o la pregunta no aplica, escriba 0: Reporte cantidades enteras: Recomendación: Si sus padres no han presentado su declaración federal de impuestos del 2015, use los formularios W-2 y/u otros registros de empleo - como el último talón de cheque de pago del para calcular aproximadamente el ingreso total. Recuerde, en lugar de perder la fecha límite de presentación, utilice la información de ingresos estimada del 2015. 12,356 (no cents) Parent Demographics If the answer to any question in Section 4 is zero, or the question does not apply, the answer should entered “0” as shown. Always report whole dollar figures (rounding up or down); ignore any cents. Remember, if the parents whose information is reported on the FAFSA have not yet completed their 2015 federal income tax forms, it is important that they use the best estimates of their total 2015 taxable and untaxed income. W-2’s, final 2015 paycheck stubs, or any other employment or income records may help parents to estimate. Remember, it is OK to use estimated 2015 income information when completing the FAFSA. Parents and students will have opportunities to update estimated income amounts when actual federal tax returns are filed or other documentation becomes available.

Parte 4 Información de los Padres
¿Quién es considerado uno de los padres? Padres biológicos o adoptivo(s) Incluyendo personas del mismo sexo. Parejas no casadas que viven juntas. En caso de padres divorciados o separados que ya no viven juntos, proporcione información sobre el padre y/o padrastro con quien el estudiante vivió más en los últimos 12 meses. Un Padrastro (sin importar si hay algún acuerdo prenupcial), si está casado actualmente con el padre de custodia del estudiante. Parent Demographics: Who is Considered a Parent Before starting this section, listen carefully to help determine who is considered a parent in this section. Students and their parents must answer all the questions in Section 4 as of the date they complete and submit the FOTW. These instructions apply even if you do not live with your legal parents but are still required to provide parental information on your FAFSA. If the biological or adoptive parents are both living and married to each other, answer the questions about both of them. This includes same-sex parents and all unmarried parents living in the same household. If the parent is widowed or single (that is, never married), answer the questions about that parent. If the widowed or divorced parent is remarried as of the day the FAFSA is submitted, answer the questions about that parent and the person to whom the parent is married (the student’s stepparent). If the parents are divorced or separated, answer the questions about the parent the student lived with more during the past 12 months. If the student lived with both parents equally, submit financial data about the parent who provided the greater amount of support. If that parent is remarried, include stepparent information. The term "parent" is not restricted to biological parents. There are instances (such as when a grandparent legally adopts the applicant) in which a person other than a biological parent is treated as a parent, and in these instances, the parental questions on the application must be answered, since they apply to such an individual (or individuals). An adoptive parent is treated in the same manner as a biological parent on the FAFSA. A stepparent is also treated in the same manner as a biological parent if the stepparent is married, as of the date of application, to the biological parent whose information will be reported on the FAFSA, or if the stepparent has legally adopted the student. There are no exceptions. Prenuptial agreements do not exempt the stepparent from providing required data on the FAFSA. The stepparent's income information for the entire base year 2015 must be reported even if the parent and stepparent were not married until after the start of 2016, but were married prior to the date the FAFSA was submitted.

Parte 4 ¿Quién No es un Padre? (cont’d)
No proporcione información de: Los padres de crianza o tutores legales. Si el estudiante se encuentra en adopción temporal o tiene un tutor legal, se considera automáticamente un estudiante independiente. Los abuelos u otros familiares no son considerados los padres a menos que hayan adoptado al estudiante. Si este no es el caso, el estudiante debe tratar de obtener información de sus padres biológicos. Las universidades pueden ejercer su juicio profesional para clasificar al estudiante como independiente. Who is NOT a Parent? (Continued) A foster parent, legal guardian, grandparent or other relatives - such as aunts, uncles, or older siblings - are not considered as parents for purposes of filing a FAFSA unless that person has legally adopted the applicant. If students are in this situation, they should contact the financial aid office at the colleges or universities they are most likely to attend before completing the FAFSA. Again, students should not provide any financial information about foster parent(s) or legal guardians Because a foster child or a child who has a legal guardian is automatically considered an independent student grandparents or other relatives Students living with grandparents or other relatives must attempt to get biological parent information Colleges may consider using Professional Judgment to make the student independent in rare cases.

Parte 4 - Tamaño de la Familia de los Padres
Incluya en el hogar de los padres: al estudiante. padre(s). otros hijos dependientes de los padres, si los padres proporcionan más de la mitad de su sustento o los hijos pueden responder "no" a cada pregunten la Parte 3, independientemente de donde vivan. a otras personas, si ahora viven con los padres y continuarán haciéndolo de 7/1/17 hasta el 6/30/18, y si los padres proporcionan más de la mitad de su apoyo ahora, y seguirán prestando el apoyo de 7/1/17 hasta el 6/30/18. Parent Household Size The number of family members in the household directly affects the family’s ability to contribute to the student’s education costs. The following persons should be included in the parents' household size in this question: The student applicant should always be included, even if not currently living with parents Parents (excluding a parent not living in the household as a result of death, separation, or divorce) Parents' other children, if the parents will provide more than half of their support from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, OR the children could answer "no" to all questions in Section 3 about their dependency (regardless of whether they live with the student’s parents). This includes stepchildren. Other people (aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.) ONLY IF they NOW live with the student’s parents and will continue to do so from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 AND the student’s parents provide more than one-half of their support NOW AND will continue to provide more than half of their support from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

Parte 5 IRS Recuperación de Datos
Esta pregunta se refiere si los padres han presentado su declaración federal de impuestos del 2015. Si el padre(s) contesta “Ha sido presentada," se les dará la opción de transferir su información fiscal de los ingresos del directamente de los registros del IRS al FOTW. Si los padres indican que han presentado recientemente sus impuestos del 2015, puede ser que no tengan acceso a sus datos del IRS si presentaron los impuestos electrónicamente dentro de las últimas tres semanas o por correo en las últimas once semanas. En cambio, deben usar su actual declaración de impuestos del 2015 del IRS para completar el FOTW para que el estudiante no falte a ninguna de las fechas importantes de ayuda financiera. 2015, 2015, IRS Data Retrieval This question may allow some parents who have already completed their federal income tax return to transfer their tax data from the IRS directly to the U.S. Department of Education. Parents will be instructed how to do this in this section of the FOTW. If parent(s) answer “Already completed,” they will be given the option to transfer their 2015 income tax information directly from IRS records. If parents have filed their 2015 taxes electronically within the last three weeks ago or by mail less than eleven weeks ago, they may not be able to access IRS data. Some parents, regardless of when they filed their 2015 federal tax returns, will not be able to use this tool. These include those parents who: are married and file separately; file as Head of Household; filed an amended federal tax return; or filed a Puerto Rican or foreign tax return. A parent who does not have a Social Security Number will not be able to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool.

Parte 5 IRS Recuperación de Datos (con’t)
IRS Data Retrieval (continued) If, based on parents’ response to the IRS Data Retrieval questions, the IRS thinks that parental 2015 tax information can be transferred directly to the FOTW, the student will see the screen shown above. Parents can then initiate the data transfer. Applicants who do not use the IRS DRT may be required to obtain a tax transcript if their FAFSA is selected for verification.

Parte 5 IRS Recuperación de Datos (con’t)
IRS Data Retrieval (continued) Initiating the transfer to the IRS site will take the parents away from the FOTW. After authorizing the IRS data transfer, parents need to make sure to return to the FOTW Website by clicking “OK” If parents do not wish to transfer IRS data or return to the FOTW, they should hit “Cancel.”

(More information later.) The Get Transcript Online tool allows the user to immediately receive an online PDF version of their IRS Tax Return Transcript or, if applicable, verification of non-filing. Getting the tax transcript online is best, since you can forward it to the school and it comes quicker, but requires more information to verify your identity. To use the Get Transcript Online Tool, the taxpayer must have: Access to a valid address; A text-enabled mobile phone (pay-as-you-go plans cannot be used) in the taxpayer’s name and Certain financial account numbers (such as a credit card number or and an account number for a home mortgage or car loan) .The credit card or account will be used for identity verification only and will not be charged.

Unless the tax payer has formally changed their address with the IRS (through the IRS change of address processes), the address on file with the IRS is the one used on the individual’s last filed tax return. Otherwise the taxpayer must file a paper Form 4506T-EZ or 4506-T to send the tax transcript to a different address. IMPORTANT: The IRS does not accept requests for transcripts at its Taxpayer Assistance Centers.

Additionally, parents should include other untaxed income such as child support received in 2015 for all children (including the student), tax exempt interest income, housing/food and other living allowances paid to military and clergy as well as any income not reported elsewhere on the form. Some colleges and universities may ask for information about other untaxed income, such as untaxed foreign income. They may also request documentation of any information reported here. The student should check all that apply. Online at FAFSA on the Web, the student may be asked to report his or her parents’ annual 2015 amounts for all boxes checked.

Parte 5 - Información de los Bienes de los Padres
A los padres se les puede solicitar que informen sobre sus activos a partir del día que ellos completaron el FOTW si los importes son superiores a los que se muestran en la FOTW. Si es así: Padre (s) debe indicar el valor neto de sus activos a partir del día que ellos completen el FOTW. Si el valor neto es cero, anote 0. NOTA: Algunas oficinas de ayuda financiera pueden solicitar documentación para las respuestas a estas preguntas. Parent Asset Information The purpose of collecting asset information is to determine whether the family's assets are substantial enough to support an additional contribution toward the student’s educational expenses. Only the net asset value is counted in the need analysis. To determine the net value of any asset, first determine the market value of the asset and then subtract the amount of debt owed on the asset. The result is the net value of the asset. Section 5 (Financial Information) asks information about custodial parents’ assets as of the day the FOTW is actually completed in 2016 or These questions are different than those that ask about 2015 parent income. We’ll talk more about assets in a moment. If the answer to any question is zero, enter “0.” Applicants should not leave any question blank. Be as accurate as possible in reporting assets. Some financial aid offices may request documentation of reported amounts.

Parte 5 Bienes de los Padres
Si se les pregunta, los estudiantes deben reportar los saldos actuales en efectivo de sus padres, ahorros y cuentas corrientes a partir del día que ellos completen el FOTW. También se les puede pedir que proporcione información sobre el valor neto de las inversiones de los padres tales como bienes raíces, propiedad de alquiler, mercado de dinero y fondos mutuos, acciones, bonos y otros valores. Además, se les puede pedir información sobre el valor neto de sus empresas y granjas de inversión. No deben incluir la casa en la que viven, el valor de los seguros de vida y planes de jubilación, o el valor de un negocio pequeño y controlado por la familia. Parent Assets Students may be asked to provide information about their parents’ assets depending on their parents’ level of income. An asset is defined as property that has an exchange value. The purpose of collecting asset information is to determine if the family’s assets are substantial enough to support a contribution toward the student’s educational expenses. Assets fall into three categories for the FAFSA on the Web. These are: Cash, savings and checking Investments Business or Investment farm value Cash, savings and checking are liquid funds that parents have as of the day the student and his or her family complete the FAFSA. Investments include some of the following: real estate (other than the parents’ primary home), trust funds, UGMA and UTMA accounts, money market and mutual funds, certificates of deposit, stock and stock options, bonds and other securities, Coverdell Education IRAs, college savings plans including 529(c) plans owned by parents, installment and land sale contracts, and commodities. Business and investments farms include the market value of land, buildings, machinery, equipment, and inventory. Debt means only those debts for which the business/investment farm was used as collateral. Keep in mind that only the net worth (the current value minus debt) of assets should be reported. Remember, parents should not report assets such as the family home, the value of any life insurance, or the value of a family-owned and controlled small business . (A small business is defined as one with 100 or fewer full-time or full-time equivalent employees). And, most importantly, any accumulated funds in retirement accounts such as Roth or traditional IRAs, pension funds, Keogh, 401K, 403B, or other plans should not be reported.

Utilizar los fondos federales y estatales de ayuda al estudiante para gastos universitarios. No estar en incumplimiento de un préstamo federal para estudiantes o ha hecho arreglos para pagarlo. No deber dinero en una subvención federal para estudiantes o ha hecho arreglos para pagarlo. Student Signature Page It is important that both students and their custodial parents read the FAFSA on the Web Certification Statement before submitting the FAFSA. They should be sure they understand to what they are agreeing. All students (and at least one of their custodial parents, if dependent) must sign the FAFSA. When submitting the FOTW, students and at least one of their custodial parents must provide their own individual FSA IDs. Remember, students and their custodial parents can get their FSA IDs at or when they complete the FOTW. Students and parents should not share their FSA IDs with anyone else. We recommend signing the FAFSA electronically with the student FSA ID, so the student applicant does not need to print, sign, and mail a signature page. Also, make sure to read and mark “Agree” to the student Terms of Agreement. By signing the agreement, the student agrees to: Use federal and state student aid funds for college costs Not be in default on a federal student loan or made satisfactory arrangements to repay it Not owe money on a federal student grant or made satisfactory arrangements to repay it

Padre (s) sin número de Seguro Social Elija "Otras opciones para firmar y enviar" para página de la firma en papel. Parent Signature Page We recommend signing the FOTW electronically with the custodial parent FSAID, so the parent does not need to print, sign, and mail a signature page. Also, read and mark “Agree” to the parent Terms of Agreement. NOTE: For any parent who does not have a valid Social Security Number, the paper Signature Page represents the alternative way to complete the FOTW. If the custodial parent does not have a valid SSN, the eligible student should still use his/her FSA ID to provide the student signature. Submitting a parent paper Signature Page may delay FAFSA processing for a few weeks, so we recommend submitting the FOTW as early as possible. If using the paper Signature Page process, families should keep a copy of the signed parent paper signature page for their records. Students might also consider providing a copy to the colleges and universities to which they have applied and hope to attend.

Don’t wait until the day the application is due. Assume that the electronic deadline is East Coast time, not California time; Check the FOTW for accuracy prior to submission; Save your work often.

Reporte de Ayuda para Estudiantes (SAR)
Después de que el estudiante complete la FAFSA en internet, se le enviará un SAR. Se le enviará un SAR de reconocimiento electrónico si el estudiante proporciona una dirección de correo electrónico. Se le enviará un SAR impreso en papel por correo, si no proporciona una dirección de correo electrónico. El estudiante debe llamar al depto de procesamiento al FED-AID ( ) si el SAR no ha sido recibido dentro de dos semanas. Una copia electrónica de los datos serán enviadas a cada colegio o universidad enumeradas por el estudiante en la Parte 2. Guarde una copia del SAR con otros documentos de ayuda financiera. Student Aid Report (SAR) Now, let’s look at the Student Aid Report. A SAR Acknowledgement will be sent electronically if the student provides an address on the FAFSA on the Web. If the student does not provide a valid address, a paper SAR will be mailed to the student at the address entered on the FAFSA. If the student does not receive the SAR within two weeks, he/she should contact the federal processor to check on the status of the FAFSA. Call FED AID (that’s ) or check on the status of your FAFSA by going to FAFSA.ed.gov using the student’s FSA ID. The student can make corrections on the electronic or paper SAR as well as add additional colleges that will then be sent the student’s information. Each college or university the student lists in Section 2 on the FAFSA will receive an Institutional Student Information Report or “ISIR.” This is an electronic record of all the information the family reported on the FAFSA. Students should make sure to keep a copy of the SAR with the rest of their financial aid documents. Private scholarship agencies may require a copy of the SAR as part of their application materials.

¿Qué Sucede Después? Los estudiantes y las universidades que enumeró el estudiante reciben reporte de ayuda financiera (SAR) del procesador federal. ↓ Los estudiantes que llenen la FAFSA y el Formulario de Verificación del GPA de Cal Grant reciben un Reporte de Ayuda de California (CAR). Los estudiantes y las familias revisan el SAR y el CAR para obtener información importante y verifican que contengan los datos correctos. Las universidades comparan los registros de admisión con la FAFSA y con otras solicitudes de ayuda financiera y determinan la elegibilidad para la ayuda. Las universidades mandan notificaciones de elegibilidad a los estudiantes admitidos que hayan llenado todos los formularios de ayuda financiera. Contacte la universidad a la que planea asistir para información sobre fechas importantes e información adicional. What Happens Next Shortly after completing the FOTW, the student should receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) from the federal processor. The SAR summarizes the information the family provided on the FAFSA. Each school listed on the SAR will also receive the information electronically. When the California Student Aid Commission evaluates the student’s FAFSA and Cal Grant GPA Verification Form, the student will receive a California Aid Report (CAR) that will provide the student with information about his/her Cal Grant eligibility. Students who complete the CA Dream Act Application will be able to view their CalSAR immediately upon submitting their application. Once each school receives the electronic SAR and all other required financial aid forms, and confirms the student’s admission status, the financial aid office will determine the student’s financial aid eligibility. Some schools may request that the student submit income documentation such as student and parent 2015 federal income tax returns (including W-2s,1099s, and all schedules and attachments) or 2015 Federal IRS Tax Transcripts, before sending the student a final determination of eligibility. The school will use these and any other requested information to verify the accuracy of the data provided on the FAFSA. Schools understand that many families have used estimated data. A financial aid notification (commonly referred to as an award letter) describing the amounts and sources of aid the student has been awarded will be prepared for the student when the student’s financial aid application is complete. Most schools will wait until the student has been accepted for admission to notify him or her about financial aid eligibility. Some schools will mail a paper notification to the student; others may provide the award letter electronically. In some cases, the student will be required to sign and return a copy of the financial aid notification, indicating whether he/she accepts or declines each source of aid. If family circumstances change after the student completes the FAFSA and other required financial aid documents, make sure to contact the financial aid office at each school as soon as possible.

Verificación Federal Algunos estudiantes pueden ser requeridos para verificar la información proporcionada en la FAFSA. Si es seleccionado para la verificación, la información fiscal de los contribuyentes de impuestos federales se verificará a través de: El Proceso de Recuperación de Datos del IRS o Transcripción de Impuesto del IRS si lo solicita el colegio o la universidad. A personas que no sometan la declaración federal de impuestos y son seleccionados para verificación, se le puede pedir que proporcionen: Declaración firmada que confirme que no presentó una declaración federal de impuestos de 2015 y no estaban obligados por el IRS para hacerlo. Copias de los formularios W-2 de cada empleador, si obtuvo algún ingreso de trabajo. Todos los solicitantes de ayuda seleccionados también se le pedirá que verifiquen alguna información de datos como: Tamaño de la familia y el número en la universidad. Historia de inscripción para los estudiantes de transferencia. Confirmación de identidad. Federal Verification In order to assure that information provided by students and parents is accurate, the U.S. Department of Education requires colleges and universities to verify the accuracy of financial and other demographic information provided on the FAFSA. Verification of FAFSA data helps colleges and universities accurately and equitably determine the types and amounts of federal funding students will receive. Students whose FAFSA data is chosen for Verification will see an asterisk next to the EFC on their SAR. If selected for verification, the tax information of federal tax filers will be verified through The IRS Data Retrieval Process, or IRS Tax Transcripts if requested by the college or university. Federal Tax Transcripts are available free of charge at: or by calling Non-Tax filers selected for verification may be asked to provide Signed statements confirming that they did not file a 2015 federal tax return and were not required by IRS to do so; and Copies of W-2s or other documentation from each employer, if any income was earned from work. All selected aid applicants will also be asked to verify certain demographic data listed such as Household size and number in college, Enrollment History for transfer students Identity Confirmation. Some colleges and universities may require the verification of additional information for determining eligibility for state and their own student aid funds.

Summary of the Financial Aid Process Let’s now recap the steps involved in applying for financial aid: File the FAFSA as possible on or after October 1 to receive the best financial aid possible. Remember, students must reapply for financial aid each year. Applying for financial aid by all published deadlines assures that the student is considered for the maximum amount of financial aid. Colleges and universities may have their own deadline dates for applying for financial aid. Make sure you know what those dates are and what financial aid forms and documents are required. To make sure students are considered for Cal Grants, as soon as possible after October 1, 2016, but no later than March 2, 2017, they should submit both: the FAFSA, or for AB540 students – the California Dream Act Application and the Cal Grant GPA Verification Form. Students should keep a copy of all forms they submit and copies of all documentation used to complete those forms. Review the electronic SAR Acknowledgement or paper Student Aid Report (SAR) Review the California Aid Report (CAR) which provides information about the student’s Cal Grant eligibility. After students have been admitted to one or more colleges, watch for financial aid award notifications. These notifications are sometimes called financial aid awards or packages and will list the grant, scholarship, work-study and loan amounts the student might be eligible to receive. Remember, meet all deadlines. Don’t miss out on any financial aid opportunities! ASK QUESTIONS! If you do not understand what to do next, or what is required of you – be sure to ask for help! Note to Presenters: Remind the group that students should file all their financial aid forms by each college’s published deadline or March 2, 2017 – whichever date comes first.

Mantener la Ayuda Financiera
Para conservar la elegibilidad para recibir ayuda financiera en los años siguientes, es necesario: Generalmente mantener al menos un promedio de calificaciones de 2.0 en una escala de 4.0; Mantener estudios de por lo menos medio tiempo para recibir préstamos estudiantiles federales (Federal Pell se prorratea por el estado académico); Mantener progreso académico adecuado para graduarse dentro de un tiempo de 150 por ciento de un plazo normal para el curso. Tenga en cuenta que al tomar 12 créditos se considera el tiempo completo para los propósitos de la FSA, pero para graduarse a tiempo comúnmente se necesita tomar 15 créditos cada término. Keeping Your Aid While Gift Aid does not need to be earned through employment, you must still earn your financial aid by taking and passing classes and by maintaining good grades. To retain eligibility for financial aid in subsequent years, in addition to demonstrating financial need, students must maintain satisfactory academic progress (SAP). Students must generally maintain at least a 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale and be passing enough classes to graduate within 150 percent of the normal time-frame for the degree. For example, a student in a Bachelor’s degree program that normally requires four years of study is considered to be making satisfactory academic progress if the student’s progress is consistent with completion the requirements for a Bachelor’s degree within six years. Note that while taking 12 credits is considered full-time for Federal student aid purposes, to graduate on-time you'll need to take 15 credits each term
