Enroll full-time, and stay full-time (if possible)
This academic year, new financial aid policies are in effect due to the federal government's One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R.1). One policy requires federal loan proration for undergraduate, graduate, and professional school students enrolled less than full-time (12 units for most programs). Enroll full-time and stay full-time to avoid impacts to federal aid for the fall and spring semesters. Or find support if you are unable to enroll full-time.

Understand Financial Aid Award Changes
Clearly identify changes to financial aid awards via the Award Comparison functionality in the Awards section of CalCentral, which allows you to compare your current package to prior packages from the same award year by date. Learn more about financial aid award changes on our Adjustments to Your Award Offer page.

Emergency Loan Program Dates
The Fall 2026 Emergency Loan application opened August 17, 2026. For more information about Emergency Loans, please visit our Short-Term Emergency Loan page.

Financial Aid Compliance Requirement
The University is required to ensure that all undergraduate and graduate students receiving financial aid are participating in each of their courses at the start of the semester and we need your help! The University will verify student participation in their courses via a reading assignment on Academic Integrity which will consist of a single question. The University created this assignment to meet federal requirements established by the Department of Education. The assignment will be required for all students, regardless of their financial aid status, since their status can change throughout the year.

Check for an assignment on Academic Integrity, which will either be automatically generated in bCourses for you to complete or be sent in a direct email to you with a link. You can learn more about the requirement on our website's Eligibility for Financial Aid at UC Berkeley page and how to complete the assignment in this knowledge base article. Please be on the lookout for these assignments in the first few weeks of the Fall semester.

Middle Class Scholarship (MCS) Update
Most estimated Middle Class Scholarship (MCS) awards converted to actual awards the week of August 10th and started to disburse with other financial aid awards on August 17th. Students who have less than a full year of eligibility remaining may see a delay in this process, as we will need to ensure that the amount for which you are eligible is calculated accurately.

For the latest information, please visit our Middle Class Scholarship Information page.

Economic Hardship Appeals
Does the information provided on your 2026-27 aid application no longer reflect your family's current financial situation? If so, you can submit an Economic Hardship Appeal via the Berkeley Financial Aid Forms website.

Missed the August 7th deadline to accept an offered work-study award? Don't worry! Log into your CalCentral account to determine if you have eligible loans that can be converted to work-study. Conversion requests can be submitted in CalCentral > My Finances > View Awards > Loans > Convert to Work-Study.

2026-27 Cost of Attendance Adjustment Request
Should the standard Cost of Attendance not match your actual living expenses, you may request a Cost of Attendance Adjustment when they become available in the first few weeks of this semester. Learn more about the process on our Cost of Attendance Adjustment page.

Campus Data Authorization
Help us assist you in securing resources and support on campus! Complete the annual Campus Data Authorization in CalCentral to grant consent for the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office to share your financial aid application data (FAFSA or California Dream Act Application) with other campus offices to help them assess your eligibility for support services. Once you provide consent for the academic year, it cannot be revoked. You will provide consent on an annual basis, and the current authorization applies for the 2026-27 academic year only.

Make Your Voice Heard: Join SACFAE!
The Student Advisory Council on Financial Aid and Education (SACFAE) is now accepting applications for the 2026-27 academic year!

SACFAE brings students together with Financial Aid & Scholarships leadership to share their experiences, provide feedback and recommendations, and discuss issues affecting students at UC Berkeley. Throughout the year, campus leaders and partners are invited to join the council for conversations about financial aid, financial wellness, and other challenges impacting the student experience.

Fiat Lux Scholarship - Eligibility  Requirements

Fiat Lux Scholarship - Eligibility  Requirements

# data[].attributes.body
Complete FAFSA/CADAA for academic year

Remain eligible for Financial Aid through Satisfactory Academic Progress (ex: GPA, degree progress, etc). Read more at https://financialaid.berkeley.edu/how-aid-works/appeals-special-circumstances/satisfactory-academic-progress/

Students enrolling in Summer Sessions: Please note that Summer Session A begins before Spring grades are made available. Eligibility for Summer aid may change once Spring grades are posted, and SAP is reviewed.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Your academic record will be evaluated based on your progress at the end of each Spring semester, to determine if you are meeting the SAP requirements to maintain financial aid eligibility for future terms, including summer. The UC Berkeley SAP requirements for undergraduate students are as follows:

Maintaining a cumulative grade point average (GPA) at or above 2.0.

Maintain a satisfactory pace of progress towards your degree by completing at least 67% of all units attempted cumulatively

Completing your degree within a maximum number of attempted units not to exceed 150% of the published length of your program.

Cumulative Grade Point Average At or Above 2.0
You are required to maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above at the end of the annual SAP evaluation period to remain eligible for financial aid for the subsequent academic year.
Satisfactory Pace of Progression Toward Degree Completion
A minimum percentage of units attempted must be successfully completed cumulatively by the end of each SAP evaluation period to maintain a satisfactory pace toward degree completion and remain eligible for financial aid. Students must successfully complete 67% of all units attempted cumulatively during their undergraduate career, including accepted transfer units.
Please Note:

The 67% completion rate still applies even if you were approved for a reduced course load by your college and/or the Disabled Students Program (DSP)

Courses taken P/NP are still factored into SAP. "P" is considered to be attempted and completed, while an "NP" is considered attempted, but not completed, when determining completion rate %

Maximum Number of Attempted Units
You may receive financial aid for attempted units not to exceed 150% of the published length of your program, if needed to complete degree requirements. The attempted unit limit applies to time you have spent at any college or post-secondary institution, including non-AP college transfer units earned in high school, semesters during which you withdrew, and semesters in which you did not receive financial aid. It does not include semesters when you were not registered.

The published length for an undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley is 120 units. Students are only eligible to receive financial aid for up to 180 attempted units, including accepted transfer units.
The following classes/units DO NOT count as units attempted or completed:

Remedial courses for which no credit is received

Advanced Placement (AP) units

International Baccalaureate (IB) units

Classes taken at other colleges that are not reflected on your UC Berkeley transcript as transfer units

Courses dropped before the fifth week of instruction (for Summer: after the session deadline to drop Summer courses)

Certain Incomplete or Withdrawn units from 2019-20 and 2020-21, that were not completed as a result of COVID-19 related circumstances.

The following classes DO count as units attempted, but DO NOT count as units completed:

Repeated courses (in which you previously received a passing grade)

Courses dropped after the fifth week of instruction.

Courses attempted in a semester in which you withdraw after the fifth week of instruction (for Summer: after the session deadline to drop Summer courses)

Failed or incomplete courses

Calculating Your Pace of Progression
To determine if you have maintained a satisfactory pace of progression toward your degree, you will need to know how many units you have attempted and completed during your undergraduate career.

Divide the number of units successfully completed by the number of units attempted to calculate your percentage. For example, 18 units successfully completed divided by 24 units attempted would be 18/24 = 0.75 or 75%. This exceeds the 67% minimum and meets the satisfactory pace requirement.

Transfer units that are accepted by your college toward your academic program, including those earned while in high school, after high school, or after being admitted to UC Berkeley, are counted as both completed and attempted. These units are factored into your cumulative pace of progression in the evaluation.
Examples:

A transfer student admitted with 70 transfer units will have 70 units attempted and completed included in the pace of progression calculation.

If the same transfer student completes 14 units out of 24 attempted units during their first year at UC Berkeley, they would have 84 units completed out of 94 units attempted.

This student's cumulative measure would be 84/94 = 0.8936 or 89.36%. Cumulatively, this student is meeting SAP (67% or higher).

This student is meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress and is eligible for financial aid.

SAP Appeals
We understand that circumstances sometimes prevent students from making satisfactory progress towards their degree. If you are ineligible for financial aid because you are not meeting SAP requirements before the beginning of the academic year, and extenuating circumstances have hindered your academic progress, you may submit a SAP Appeal to have your eligibility reconsidered.

Please be aware that submission of an appeal is not a guarantee of approval. We review appeals on a first-come, first-served basis, and it may take up to 4 to 6 weeks to review your appeal and notify you of the decision via email. We strongly encourage you to submit your SAP Appeal immediately after you receive notification that you are not meeting SAP requirements so that you may receive a decision on your appeal in a timely manner.

If a SAP Appeal is required, one will be made available for you on CalCentral. Please review the appeal form to ensure you include all required documentation by the appropriate deadline. Incomplete appeals may require follow-up for additional information or documentation prior to a decision being made- you are encouraged to monitor your email regularly in case additional information is requested.
