Administration Building, Room 296.
Federal Perkins Loan. Authorized by the
Higher Education Act, this program
provides a limited amount of low-interest
loans to students who demonstrate an
exceptional financial need. Currently
students may borrow $20,000 during the
course of their undergraduate degree.
Graduate students may borrow up to
$40,000 (including any amount borrowed
as an undergraduate). New borrowers
begin repayment nine months after they
graduate, leave school, or cease attending
at least half-time. (Students who received
funding under the National Direct
Student Loan Program have a six-month
grace period.) A repayment period of up
to 10 years has been established by the
federal government. The Higher Educa-tion
Act also authorized certain condi-tions
under which part or all of the loan
may be canceled. Details are available in
Student Loan Collections Services, Joyal
Administration Building, Room 156.
Federal Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant (FSEOG). FSEOG is
a grant program and, thus, does not
require repayment. Awards are restricted
to those undergraduates who demonstrate
the greatest need and who are also Federal
Pell Grant recipients. Funding for the
program is limited to the allocation
received from the federal government.
Federal Work-Study (FWS). FWS is a
federally funded employment program.
Awards are based on financial need. Both
undergraduate and postbaccalaureate
students are eligible to participate.
Students receiving FWS awards are placed
in jobs on-campus and with selected off-campus
agencies, including community
service programs such as America
READS.
Nursing Student Loans. Under this
program, a student who can show that a
loan is needed to enter or continue in the
nursing program may borrow up to
$2,500 an academic year for the first two
years; $4,000 for the final two academic
years, up to a $13,000 maximum. No
interest is charged while the borrower
pursues at least a half-time course of
study, or for a period of nine months after
leaving school. Interest then starts at
financial aid programs, the university is
required to define and enforce standards
of satisfactory academic progress for all
students.
All funds administered by the Financial
Aid Office are subject to these standards.
The intent of these standards is to
encourage students to make steady
progress toward the completion of all
degree or credential requirements within a
reasonable period of time.
To maintain satisfactory progress,
students must successfully complete a
minimum percentage of the total units
they have taken. (See http://
studentaffairs.csufresno.edu/financial_aid/,
then go to Online Forms, SAP forms.)
All recipients of financial aid must notify
the Financial Aid Office prior to dropping
below the units identified as units funded
on their award notification. Aid recipients
who fail to comply with these require-ments
may be subject to cancellation of
their financial aid award and/or repay-ment
of aid received.
The regulations also address the issue of
time-to-degree. An undergraduate
student’s funding will be limited to 138%
of the units required for his or her degree
program. Funding will be suspended once
a student exceeds 172 total units taken.
(Some exceptions are granted.) A
postbaccalaureate student’s funding will
be limited to 138% of the units required
for his or her degree or credential
program. Funding will be suspended once
a student in a 30-unit degree program
exceeds 41 total units taken. (Some
exceptions are granted.) Graduate
students enrolled in programs requiring
60 units will be granted an exception
upon request.
All prior academic activity at the college
level is considered in determining total
units taken. Total units taken includes
all transfer credit recorded, whether or
not applicable to the degree, in addition
to units taken at California State
University, Fresno.
All financial aid recipients are reviewed
for satisfactory academic progress at the
end of each semester. The following
criteria are used for determination of
satisfactory progress: (1) A, B, C, D, and
CR are acceptable indicators of satisfac-tory
academic progress; (2) F, I, W, WU,
NC, RP, RD, AU are not acceptable.

Assistants. University Courtyard employs
up to 17 students to work as resident
advisers (RAs) and five students to work
as public safety assistants (PSAs) in the
residence halls. RAs act as effective role
models, develop a cohesive community of
students, organize and conduct programs,
and serve as resource people to students
living on-campus. PSAs patrol the
buildings and grounds, and provide escort
service. Applications (for students with
one year of on-campus living experience)
are available from the University Housing
Office at the beginning of the spring
semester.
University Association and Foundation
Loan Funds. The university operates an
Emergency Loan Fund to assist students
who need up to a maximum of $600 for
educationally related emergency expenses
only. These loans have to be repaid within
90 days or before the end of the semester,
as designated by Student Loan Collection
Services. Loans are granted on the basis of
the students’ need and ability to repay.
The funds for these programs have been
provided by gifts to the university.

Joyal Administration Building, Room 156.

written waiver by the dean of student
affairs or the director of admissions and
records, children or spouses of California
State University full-time employees, who
are not yet legal residents of California,
may be exempted from the nonresident
fee. Also, with verification by the dean of
the Kremen School of Education and
Human Development, certificated
California school district employees who
are not yet legal residents of California
may be exempted from the nonresident
fee, if they are provisionally credentialed
and working toward regular credentials,
completing postponed requirements, or
completing the fifth year required under
the Teacher Preparation and Licensing Law
of 1970 (Ryan Act).
