Question 1

Do I have to "do well" in school to receive Federal Financial Aid?

alameda · Accepted Answer

Yes. For each semester that you receive aid you will need to complete a certain number of units with a minimum GPA of at least 2.0. In addition, you need to maintain an overall completion rate of at least 67% and an overall GPA of at least 2.0. This is called maintaining “Satisfactory Academic Progress.”

Question 2

Do I have to apply for Federal Financial Aid every year?

alameda · Accepted Answer

Yes. Please make sure to visit your college Financial Aid Office 7 – 10 days after you have done so.

Question 3

Do I have to go to school full-time to receive Federal Financial Aid?

alameda · Accepted Answer

No. You will be eligible for most Federal Financial Aid if you attend school half-time. However, with the Pell and SEOG Grants, your awards will be larger if you attend full-time.

Question 4

Do I have to pay a loan back?

alameda · Accepted Answer

Yes. Payments for student loans begin once a student leaves school for six months (or falls below half-time enrollment for six months).

Question 5

How do I access the CampusLogic System for financial aid tasks?

alameda · Accepted Answer

If you have not registered with the CampusLogic website for financial aid, you will need to do that first: alamedaperalta.verifymyfafsa.com

Question 6

How do I apply for Federal Financial Aid?

alameda · Accepted Answer

You must complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) . You can do it electronically at www.fafsa.gov. Once completed you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) via e-mail or in the mail. Please review your SAR and bring it to the Financial Aid Office in Building A-101 to check if there are any corrections to make.

Question 7

How do Parents E-Sign on the CampusLogic Website?

alameda · Accepted Answer

Parents can e-sign the required forms, but they first need to create an account.

NOTE: Creating an account in the CampusLogic Website for Financial Aid cannot happen until until the student requests the signature and the parent is sent an email.

When a student requests a parent to e-sign a document, the parent will receive an email that tells them that there are documents to sign and provides them with a link to log in or register. When the parent clicks on the link to create an account, they will be directed to the Secure Parent Log-in screen. They will want to click the button that says- create account:

The parent is required to complete the following information:

Preferred email
Confirm email
Choose username
Create password
Confirm password

The parent will then need to confirm their information. This will also need to match the information that was provided on the aid application

Parent First name
Parent Last Name
Parent Date of Birth
Parent Social Security Number

Once the parent confirms their information, they will be asked to confirm their student’s information. Again, this needs to match the information that was provided on the aid application.

Student first name
Student last name
Student date of birth
Student social security number

After the information is entered in, the parent will want to review the privacy policy before clicking on the Create Account.

If the account creation is successful, the parent will be routed to the log-in page. The parent will also receive an email asking them to confirm their email address. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT- confirming the email address allows the parent to use the “forgot password” feature in the future, should it be forgotten. If the email is not confirmed, then the parent will need to call to have their password reset.

After logging in, the parent will be presented with the forms that need a signature. The parent should review the information the student put in the form.

Making updates to the form

If the information is not accurate, the parent can click on the “form not approved” button and the form will be sent back to the student to update.

Opting out of e-sign

The parent can also opt out of e-signing the form. If that is selected, both the student and the parent will need to provide signatures on the form.

E-signing the form

If the parent approves the form, they can sign the form using the same signature they created during the log-in process.

Students who exceed the maximum time-frame may petition for an extension of funding through an “appeal process.”
