Student must be enrolled in 6 or more units each semester
Students in short term courses must have at least 6 units of courses whose start dates have passed before a check can be released. Enrollment in late-start courses may affect the timing of a student becoming eligible to receive their check depending on the number of units which began prior to the check receipt date. The financial aid office reserves the right to verify student’s actual attendance and progress in a course prior to check release.Checks will be held until at least 6 units of coursework has begun. Poor attendance or progress may be a basis for cancellation of a loan disbursement.

Official Transcripts required from students who have previously borrowed from other colleges
Students who are borrowing at Las Positas College for the first time and have previously borrowed at other colleges are required to submit official transcripts from those other colleges before a loan is approved at Las Positas. Prior progress at previous colleges, in addition to any academic and financial aid history at Las Positas, will be a consideration for loan approval, as part of our default prevention plan. Students who have previously borrowed at Las Positas and have not attended any additional colleges since borrowing those loans are exempt from this requirement.
