What Kinds of Financial Aid Can I Receive?
BOARD OF GOVERNOR’S FEE WAIVER
(BOGFW)
New Eligibility Regulations Effective Fall 2016:
California Community College students receiving
the BOGFW must meet minimum academic and progress
standards to remain eligible for the BOGFW due to
changes made by SB 1456 Student Success Act of 2012
to Title 5 of the California Education Code.
Students must:
• Maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 (Academic Standard)
• Successfully complete at least 50% of all units
attempted (Progress Standard)
If a student is placed on academic and/or progress
probation for two consecutive primary terms (fall or spring
semester), they will lose eligibility for the BOG Fee Waiver
as well as enrollment priority. For more information on
this regulation and the conditions by which students
can appeal, please see .
Students are encouraged to utilize the numerous support
services on campus to help them regain good academic
standing.
