I’m interested in taking the college’s film production 100 class to join the union’s apprenticeship thru Hollywood CPR. For those of you who took it already, what was the total cost?
What was the class like?

its almost 4 weeks on term and i keep getting not concise answers from aid deparment where will i get my pell it shows on my sis portal but not disbursed and i know some ppl got money on 19th so

Just wanted to post my summer finaid situation for anybody who would like to see it as any information that may help or maybe get like any insight for anything.

This is my first term in any cc. Home college is wlac. But I am enrolled in (online) classes from different laccd schools.

I am enrolled in a summer course that started on June 29. Since I was seeing everyones posts earlier saying that they were getting summer pell "only when their class starts," I assumed the same thing might happen in my situation. I even see my Fall awards already on the sis, so I was just waiting on June 29 to come with no worries and thinking ok this is when my awards should show up. And so the day came and nope, no finaid update anywhere. I was thinking ok, maybe theyre working on a system update or something for the day and I'll just wait for the next day. Next day comes, still nothing. So I contacted finaid by email and asked all the questions I wanted, and they just replied that their records show that my pell award will be added to my awards information at the end of July. So i asked if they could clarify why my award was being processed more later than other summer students who got it when their classes started, because i have done literally everything with so much time in advance. They replied with because my class started on June 29. And that was it, no other info was given.

I am also enrolled in another course that starts on July 20. Which is at the end of July, like they said.

So this is what im connecting here: maybe finaid at the moment is updating awards for maybe 2 "official" batches? One just happened to be around when the 1st official week of classes started, which was June 15 and thats why they were telling everyone that they're getting finaid when their class started. And the next award update for others is going to be when the 2nd 5 week classes start, which is July 20.

Since my 1st class started later on June 29, they decided to lump up my award update with the 2nd batch? Im assuming, because thats just how finaid responded to me.

I'm not saying anything here as facts, its just been my experience and I just wanted to share it.

Now I can see how it can go smoother probably by enrolling in classes that start at the same time in the official beginning of the term or the official second half? Not in the middle or 2 weeks later like mine. And I'm not saying to not take classes that start a little later, I'm just saying it couldve gone smoother another way for me probably lol.

another post to see whos gotten their summer so far and whos on the same boat of showing on sis portal but not showing disbursed and if anyone have new info its been officially 3 weeks since summer term started and i dnt have any answers

Hoping this week is the week we get our disbursements

hey everyone, I’m waitlisted for both LATTC and LASC nursing programs. was wondering if anyone has experience with either. how are the instructors, clinical sites, and overall program quality?? any honest insight or opinions would really help.

I keep calling financial aid and I keep getting hung up on or the phone keep hanging up I just need them to answer a question 🤔

Is anyone else still waiting on their Pell grant.
I was told it was sent the 17th, then was told it would be sent on Friday. Now still nothing.

It’s two weeks later and my financial aid for the summer still doesn’t show up. I have no idea what’s going since I’m meeting the sap requirements and I’m taking 9 units over summer. I’m becoming increasingly frustrated at the lack of transparency as to what exactly is going. Is anyone else also in the same situation as me or waiting for summer disbursements?

Financial Aid says I’m at 75% of Maximum Time Frame, but my transcript shows only 52 attempted units. Am I missing something?

Is anyone’s SIS portal homepage acting up/are you able to log in to SIS portal?

i got my SAP appeal approved and i was wondering when will my financial aid update for summer so i can get the money for the 9 units im taking. its currently been 4 days of waiting

Hi everyone, this is my second semester at LAVC. I have 16+ units and a GPA above 2.0 to receive a Cal grant. I'm just gonna get my associate's degree here and not transfer. I am also low-income (-1500 SAI) and in college after a while. I was wondering how to apply for Cal Grant B or C? I did log into my web4grants page, and it doesn't give me an application or anything to fill out. The school apparently has to submit my GPA. However, no one in the financial aid office is giving me any information on how to make sure that I receive the Cal Grant. They are saying just to wait until they submit my gpa in August and I'll see if I get it. Has anyone been in this situation? I'm unemployed and I depend on this a lot. I just want to make sure to receive it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone! I've heard different things from financial aid over the past two weeks. It's making me confused about our summer pell grant and when we might get it :( Has anyone been in contact with financial aid lately? First, they told me it was delayed, and then they told me to email them today to get an exact date. Then they told me they dont know anything, and I'm really frustrated tbh. I go to LASC.
