Thank you for choosing us for your educational journey! As you are aware, SCC which includes the Financial Aid Office (FAO) has converted to a new state-wide technology system. Summer Quarter is the first quarter the FAO will fully process in the new system. As a result, determining financial aid eligibility for Summer Quarter students will be delayed.
Important Information for Summer Quarter
- Students’ classes will be placed on hold to prevent them from being dropped for non-payment while the FAO review student’s file to determine financial aid eligibility
- Plan accordingly to purchase books and supplies for your classes
- Apply for the COVID-19 Emergency fund at shoreline.edu/apply-and-aid/funding-and-aid/emergency-funds.aspx
- Check out other funding options at https://www.shoreline.edu/apply-and-aid/funding-and-aid/
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we transition to the new state-wide technology system.
