Maximum Unit Appeal
Note: You must submit an appeal no later than three weeks before the semester ends in order to be reinstated for aid that semester.
To meet federal and state satisfactory academic progress requirements, you are expected to complete a degree program within a maximum allowable time frame. Undergraduates who have attempted 180 units, and post-baccalaureate students who have attempted 60 post-baccalaureate units are ineligible for all types of financial aid including grants, work–study, and loans.
If you have reached a unit limit and would like to be considered for financial aid funding, please complete a maximum units appeal through your Financial Aid Account(opens in new window). If you need to submit an appeal and don't see one in your Financial Aid Account, contact our office.
Non-fundable coursework:
Students are generally not funded for second majors, minors, options, or courses for personal enrichment or GPA improvement unless they can prove the courses are necessary for future employment and submit supporting documentation.
Prerequisites for credential or graduate programs are generally not funded for undergraduates who have exceeded the maximum time frame unless the courses also meet major or general education requirements.
Repeating coursework a second time after passing with a D or better cannot be funded.
