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.
