We cover some of the most frequently asked questions the Financial Aid Office receives at the start of each semester and have also included information about resources available to all students.

You are receiving this email because you registered for a Cypress College course for Fall 2025. Please disregard this email if you do not plan to attend or apply for financial aid for the 2025-26 aid year.

Students have until 11:59 p.m. on September 7 to add or drop classes. After this date, your enrolled units will be locked in and used to determine your financial aid eligibility for the semester. Any courses added or moved off a waitlist after this deadline will not count toward financial aid eligibility
Please note: Your award amounts (especially Pell Grant) may continue recalculating as you add and drop classes until your units are locked in on the freeze date.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) notices are emailed to students toward the start of each semester. Fall 2025 notices are expected to go out by August 22.
If disqualified, your SAP notice will include why you are disqualified and instructions on how to appeal to have your aid reinstated for the fall semester.
|
|
|
If you've been awarded a Pell Grant, you'll receive the first half on August 29*.
For more disbursement information, including the full fall disbursement schedule, FAQ, and BankMobile, please visit our Disbursement help page.
|
| |
|
*In order to be paid on the first disbursement date, the following must be met by August 12:
|
-
Your financial aid file must be complete;
- Your home campus must be Cypress College;
- Your SAP status must be Good, Warning, or Probation;
- You must be enrolled in fall 2025 courses; and
- You must be eligible for a Pell Grant.
|
What might affect your disbursement dates:
Completing tasks late. After August 12, your Pell Grant funds will be sent to BankMobile two Fridays after your file has been reviewed and completed.
Enrolling in late-start classes. Late-start classes can affect the amount you receive in your first disbursement as we cannot pay for late-start units until you start attending those classes.
You need to submit a SAP appeal. If you are disqualified for SAP and submit a SAP appeal, if your SAP appeal is approved you'll receive your financial aid funds two Fridays after your appeal is approved.

If you received an email stating you may be eligible for the SSCG, there is nothing else you need to do other than make sure you're enrolled and locked in at 12 or more units by the freeze date.
|
| |
|
Eligible students will see SSCG posted on their awards after we disburse Cal Grant on September 19.
How much will I receive for fall?
Students enrolled in 12 units or more (but less than 15 units): $1,298.
Students enrolled in 15 or more units: $4,000.
Please note: If you registered for a late-start class, your SSCG may be less. If there are SSCG funds still available by the time your late-start class begins, the Financial Aid Office will pay for your late-start units the second Friday from the date your late-start class begins.
