The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is typically
available on October 1, however, due to major changes in the
FAFSA, it will not be available until sometime in December.
Both the University of California and the California State
University applications have questions that ask students to enter
family income and family size. These questions are for the
sole purpose of determining if a student is eligible for a fee
waiver for the application; they are not questions related
to financial aid, nor are they an application for financial
aid.
Fifty colleges and universities send representatives to visit the
St. Francis campus each year. It is important that students meet
with a representative from the colleges/universities they are
considering for admission. However, it is equally important that
students attend all of their classes and prepare well for
college. We recommend that students choose wisely the times and
dates to sign up for a visit with a college representative. It is
critical that students do not miss tests or important lecture
information.
Visiting college campuses is one of the more important means of
discovery when evaluating your college options.
Here are a few tips:
Include visits while vacationing with your family.
Call colleges ahead of time and request a guided tour. Visit
a variety of colleges – big and small, public and private
- so that you can compare different types of institutions.
