Prior Bachelor's Degree

Federal and state financial aid eligibility may be affected if you have already earned a bachelor's degree. If you indicated on your admissions or financial aid application that you have earned a bachelor's degree, the Financial Aid Office must verify your educational history before determining your financial aid eligibility.

  • If you have earned a bachelor's degree, you may be ineligible for certain financial aid programs, including the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), and Cal Grant.

  • Students who wish to be considered for Federal Work-Study or Federal Direct Loans must have an approved Term Dismissal Appeal and be placed on a Financial Aid Academic Contract.
