Cross Enrollment

If you are unable to register for the classes you need at CSULB, you may find them at a community college and have the units count toward your financial aid eligibility at CSULB.

For cross-enrollment classes to be eligible for at least some financial aid programs at CSULB:

• You must be enrolled at least half time (6 units as an undergraduate) through regular CSULB enrollment
• You have not transferred the maximum of 70 units from a community college
• The course(s) you take must be transferable towards your CSULB degree
• You must be making satisfactory academic progress towards your degree at CSULB
• You submitted a Cross Enrollment Agreement to Enrollment Services, and it was approved
• You submitted a Request for Evaluation of Coursework from Another Institution to Enrollment Services, and it was approved
• You received a notification from CSULB Financial Aid that your financial aid awards will be adjusted based on your approved Cross Enrollment coursework

Aid programs that may be impacted by Cross Enrollment:

Many financial aid programs require a minimum of half-time enrollment (6 units) for undergraduates to be eligible to receive funding.  There are a few programs, however, where the amount you receive is pro-rated based on your actual enrollment (and which would be impacted by Cross Enrollment):

• Federal Pell Grant
• Cal Grant Fees Award
• Cal Grant Stipend
