Financial Aid

Students are not required to file a summer aid application this year. After enrolling in summer courses, your financial aid eligibility will be automatically determined by the Financial Aid Office based on your FAFSA/CADAA and enrollment. If you have questions about your eligibility, please email finaid@csuchico.edu.

To be considered for Summer Financial Aid, You Must:

  1. Be a continuing matriculated CSU, Chico student regularly admitted into a degree-granting or credential program.
  2. Have a FAFSA or CADAA on file with the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office. 
  3. Be enrolled in a summer course.

How to Receive Financial Aid:

  1. Register for Summer Session classes.
  2. After registration, you will be automatically considered for financial aid. It will take approximately 2-3 weeks for your Summer Aid eligibility to be determined.
  3. If you are eligible for any aid, you will receive and email notification from the Financial Aid & Scholarship Office with the amount of the award.
  4. Friday, April 29 is the Priority Deadline to be enrolled in classes and be considered for summer financial aid. After the deadline you may still be considered, but fees must be paid out of pocket to avoid being dropped from classes for non-payment. Reimbursement will be made later if aid is awarded.
  5. If enough aid is awarded to cover Summer Session fees, no fee payment will be required.
  6. If no financial aid is awarded, or the award is an amount less than the total fees due, the fee balance must be paid immediately to avoid being dropped from class(es).

How to Determine Aid Granted and Pay Fees

To view your Summer Session fees, pending financial aid, and the amount you are responsible for paying, log into the Chico State Portal and go to your Student Center.
