Getting Started

006750 Valencia FAFSA Code

1. Apply for degree. Choose the degree you will seek. To receive financial aid, you must seek an A.A. degree (transfers to a 4 year college) or an A.S. degree (a 2 year career program), or one of the Technical Certificate programs that are approved for financial aid. If you are undecided, you can get help from a campus Career Center or on–line through your Atlas Account using the LifeMap Tools.
    

2. Request transcripts. You will be initially admitted as a non–degree seeking student until your official transcripts are received. First time in college: Request your final high school transcripts or proof of your GED. Please note that if you do not hold a standard high school diploma or GED, you will need to score adequate levels on the CPT test to receive financial aid. To receive financial aid, the minimum CPT scores are: Reading 55, Sentence Skills 60, and Arithmetic 34.
   
   Transfer students: Be Sure to add Valencia’s Title IV code 006750 to your FAFSA.
   If you are a college transfer student seeking a degree or technical certificate, you must submit all offical final academic transcripts from each college or university attended. These must be evaluated for transfer credit before you will be considered for financial aid.
   If you are currently attending another college or university, have the official academic transcript sent at the end of the term once all grades for classes are listed. Transfer credits must be included in the calculation for Satisfactory Academic Progress. There are three satisfactory progress requirements:
   
   1. You must maintain at least a 2.0 cumulative grade point average, and
   2. You must successfully complete at least 67% of the courses you attemp at
   all colleges, and
   3. You may attempt no more than 150% of the total credit hours in your degree or certificate program.
   
   If you attended another college, the courses you took at that college will be considered in the evaluation of your progress. Your financial aid eligibility cannot be determined until we have received all of the required transcripts. Please allow adequate time(at least 30 days) for the evaluation.
    

3. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at fafsa.ed.gov. Enter Valencia’s School Code (006750) as a school who will receive the results of your FAFSA and allow at least 2 weeks for your form to be processed.
    

4. Follow up on additional information requests. Steps 1–3 only get you started. After that, additional forms and documents may be needed to verify your eligibility, to complete your academic record, or to request student loans and scholarships.
