<p>If I want to do summer school at a UC and am accepted for the fall semester, is it possible to attend summer school there before the semester begins? Also, which FAFSA year would apply, the one filed for that fall or the one from the year before?</p>

<p>Yes, you can attend summer school the fall. However, you do pay a crapload more for classes than you otherwise would. You used to be able to apply for aid twice in a sense, with summer counting as another “year” so that you could double dip. I believe that changed with the current federal budget and it was one of the programs eliminated in the cuts (it was found that people weren’t graduating any earlier and it was costing a lot more.) So, you can still go, but it’s going to cost you. I think last year it was somewhere around $200 a unit for the unsubsidized rate.</p>
