Eligibility

You must have a high school diploma or state-issued equivalent to be eligible for most forms of financial aid. You do NOT need a diploma or equivalent for the CCPG. Students
concurrently enrolled in high school and Solano through the dual enrollment program are not eligible to receive financial aid.

All Associate’s and Bachelor’s degrees are eligible for Title IV aid. Most certificates at Solano are ineligible for financial aid (e.g., Fire Technology, EMT, Esthetics). Contact the Financial Aid Office to find out if your program is eligible for financial aid.

Many financial aid programs have minimum unit requirements, typically 6 (half-time) or 12 (full-time). If a student’s enrollment status drops below the status for which they were awarded, they may have their awards reduced and/or be required to pay them back. For more information, visit the Title IV Repayment page.

Students must maintain good grades and completion rates in order to receive financial aid. They must also not go over 1.5x the intended timeframe for their program (e.g., 3 years for an Associate’s degree intended to be completed in 2 years). Students not meeting these standards will be placed on Warning status and have one term to improve. If they are still not meeting SAP standards at the end of their Warning term, they will lose their eligibility until they return to good standing or file a successful SAP appeal. The deadline for SAP appeals is the last day of the semester. For more information, including the full SAP policy, visit the Satisfactory Academic Progress page.
