2. After you have finalized your summer enrollment, apply for financial aid online

Students need to consistently check the Financial Aid website for date(s) to apply for summer financial aid.  Once we know the date, we will make sure to let you know. 

 
Apply starting in May. You are encouraged to apply early as limited financial aid is available for summer session. 

Financial Aid students: you may not be dropped for nonpayment, which means if you forget to drop unwanted courses, you may receive a grade of "F" for non-attendance and be billed for the courses.
* Note: If you are  academically disqualified after Spring Quarter and are denied an appeal for reinstatement, Academic Advising will cancel your Summer Session 2 courses. You will be billed for summer financial aid if the cancellation results in less than 6 units enrollment for Summer Session.

rrcmuralsRAZA RESOURCE CENTRO NEW MURALS

The Art of Transformation

Three new murals were unveiled at the Raza Resource Centro. The project was introduced by Director Gerardo Arellano and Raza Resource Centro's Arte y Cultura student interns Hatchly Galindo Moreno and Daniella Tajimaroa. 

"It's really empowering to see faces like mine and others represented in the mural," said Daniella Tajimaroa, a sophomore and Arte y Cultura intern at the Raza Resource Centro. 

"It's inspiring, not just for the representation, but knowing the history and advocacy work that was put in by students."
