Do you have a Special or Unusual Circumstance?
The CSUB Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships would like to make you aware that as an aid applicant, you may apply for a special or unusual circumstance. Adjustments to Cost of Attendance (COA), based on additional incurred costs that exceed the standard COA, to alter the data elements used to calculate the Student Aid Index (SAI) and/or Dependency status, are ALL considered on a case-by-case basis. This process is known as professional judgement. In certain circumstances, it can extend to declared disasters, emergencies, or economic downturns.
Financial Literacy
In today’s economic climate, coupled with the increasing costs of higher education, it makes sense for students to better educate themselves on money management. CSUB has partnered with CashCourse, whose mission is to equip students with the tools and knowledge they need to help them make informed and thoughtful financial decisions throughout their college careers.
