Summer application deadlines
Summer financial aid applicants must complete and submit the online Summer Financial Aid Request form on  GROWL no later than May 1, 2008. Incoming Teaching Credential students (new admits) may apply for summer financial assistance on GROWL through June 30, 2008. Students must also have completed a 2008-09 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) by March 3, 2008 and submit all documents required to complete your financial aid application by May 1, 2008 in order to be considered for summer financial assistance.

Eligible summer aid applicants
The following categories of students are eligible for summer financial assistance:

• UC Riverside undergraduate students

• Current Teaching Credential students and new Teaching Credential students who are admitted on a regular or conditional basis for fall quarter 2008

Undergraduate students are required to enroll on a full-time basis (12 units minimum) for financial aid consideration. (Enrolled units for first and second session will be combined to determine your enrollment status.) An exception will be made for seniors who will graduate by the end of winter quarter 2009. Graduating seniors must enroll on at least a half-time basis (6 units minimum) for financial aid consideration.

Teaching Credential students

are required to enroll on at least a half time basis (6 units minimum) to qualify for summer financial aid.

Cross campus applicants (UCR students who plan to enroll at another UC campus during Summer Session 2008) must also meet these application deadlines and enrollment requirements. This includes students who plan to enroll in summer travel study programs through other UC campuses. Summer UCDC, UC Sacramento, Education Abroad, and UCR Summer Travel Study participants may be eligible for Financial Aid but should NOT complete the Summer Financial Aid Request. The Financial Aid Office will be notified directly by your program of your summer enrollment. If you have completed your FAFSA application and submitted any required documents to the Financial Aid Office by our May 1, 2008 deadline, you will then be awarded any aid for which you may qualify.

Summer disbursements

Summer financial aid disbursements will begin on July 1, 2008. Financial Aid refunds (for non-fee expenses) will not be available until after the first week of the summer session. Financial aid awarded to students who drop below 12 units (6 units for graduating seniors) is subject to revision and the student may be billed for any aid disbursed to pay fees or issued in a refund. Awards will be reduced or cancelled for students who never begin attendance in classes in the number of units or sessions reported on their summer aid application.

Summer aid applicants must maintain satisfactory academic progress in order to be eligible for summer funding. Refer to "Maintaining Eligibility" under the Receiving Aid channel on this website for more information.
