Financial Aid Census Dates

The Financial Aid Office uses a census date each semester to determine the amount of Pell Grant and Cal Grant a student will receive for the semester. All enrollment will be locked on the financial aid census date at 11:59 p.m. Any enrollment adjustments (adds/drops) made after the financial aid census date will not be considered. Appeals may be accepted for late adds if there was an extenuating circumstance for adding late.

Enrollment Statuses

Financial Aid Enrollment Statuses are the same for every semester: Fall, Spring, and Summer.

How can I receive my refund?

Students whose files have been completed and meet all eligibility requirements, including meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress, will have their awards released. Students can view their Financial Aid offer letter on their MyCompton, and must Accept or Deny any of the awards presented to them, as well as sign their offer letter for funding to be disbursed to their student account.

Important Reminders:

Late start classes: You must be actively enrolled in late start courses in order for those units to be included in the disbursement. Make up disbursement will be disbursed to include late starting classes if there is an increase in the enrollment status.
Remedial units: Compton College allows up to 30 remedial units to count toward your enrollment status. Units that exceed the maximum 30 units will not be included in the determination of the enrollment status.
Course 3rd repeat: Prior courses attempted and completed with a passing grade ("D" or higher) will not be included in the determination of the enrollment status if attempted for the third time.

Fraud Policy

A student who attempts to obtain federal financial aid by fraudulent means will be reported to federal, state, and campus officials for prosecution. Such actions are, therefore, subject to Student Disciplinary actions and suspension of receiving financial aid for unsatisfactory conduct.
