Important Message Regarding Financial Aid and Course Drops for Non-Payment
Due to the complications with the 2024-2025 FAFSA/CADAA, students will continue to see delays with the processing of their financial aid application, including the California College Promise Grant Fee Waiver (CCPG). As a result, students will not be dropped for non-payment. All students that decide to not take their course(s) are responsible for dropping their classes prior to the refund/waiver of fees deadline. Once available, the Financial Aid Office will begin processing financial aid awards and notifying students as soon as possible. If payment was made prior to an approved Financial Aid award, a refund will be processed for the student automatically. Please continue to check your Palomar email for future updates.
