Loans
Financial need for full-time students is typically met through a combination of institutional aid, work-study employment and student loans. 

Students carrying less than 18 units per semster are considered less than half-time, and are not eligible for any form of financial aid.

While grants are not available to flex-time students, assistance is available through loans. Please see the special note for flex-time students.
