<p>The aid estimator won’t be available for months, but I need to know what I’ll do in the summer to know what I’ll do in the Spring. </p>
<p>I was planning on taking only 2 classes in the summer, 1 in each session, but I see that full-time means at least 6. Can I be sure I will get aid in the summer? Has anyone gotten summer aid before? How much should I expect? When will I know that I will be getting it?</p>
<p>Summer aid is ALL loans. Also, they will only give you what is equivalent to full financial aid during the regular school year is if you take 12 units. I know it sucks…</p>
<p>Definitely take CC classes instead, if possible. For me the difference between Davis summer classes and taking them at my local CC is ~$1500, and that’s not including gas/travel time. Just make sure it transfers as the class you need.</p>
<p>Personally I need to see a major advisor because the CC class I want to take normally only transfers as a “series for series” which could cause problems…</p>

<p>Does it say that on the Summer Session site? If its true, I don’t see why anyone would choose Summer Session over their local CC.</p>

<p>yeah i agree, but i heard that gpa doesn’t transfer over from cc to ucs…it’s all P/NP…</p>
<p>I think Summer Financial Aid does give out grants. For me, the Summer Aid Estimator gives a $2,000 grant and around $2,400 in loans for each Summer Session. The $2,000 just covers the tuition costs, barely. However, when taken books and living costs into account, it is better to go to a CC.</p>
