Financial Aid
Inside the Kickoff Email are the resources you need to make sure you’re prepared to succeed this semester! We cover some of our most frequently asked questions that we receive at the start of each semester.
Your SAP status matters!
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) can determine if you can receive your financial aid.
Students on financial aid warning are provided one semester to improve their academic performance before being disqualified. Students who have exceeded the maximum timeframe are automatically disqualified and do not receive a warning semester.
Disqualified students are provided specific instructions regarding the appeals process, timeline, and procedures for requesting additional eligibility via email and myGateway. Students can access their SAP appeal via cypresscollege.studentforms.com
Students in good standing typically graduate and transfer on time. Maintaining good standing is essential if you plan on receiving financial aid when you transfer.
