Financial Aid Forms

Please note: To access Financial Aid documents from this site, you need Adobe Acrobat Reader and a printer. If you require a paper or alternate format of any financial aid document, please contact the Financial Aid Office at (510)723-6748, or visit during our office hours.

In order to complete your financial aid file each year, you will need to supply all forms and documents that are requested (found on CLASS-Web, written tracking letters, and/or staff requests). Each must be completed, signed and dated, with appropriate documentation attached. No financial aid will be awarded or disbursed until your file is complete.

Please bring all of your requested financial aid follow-up documents to the Chabot College Financial Aid Office during our office hours. We may request additional documents after our initial review.

After the review has been completed, if you are eligible for financial aid, you will receive an award letter which will inform you of types and amounts of financial aid for which you are eligible. Please view your financial aid file and award status on CLASS-Web Financial Aid, rather than calling or visiting our office, to allow our staff more time to process and award student's files.

Please identify the appropriate document below as requested on CLASS-Web or your Chabot Financial Aid tracking letter. Complete all items as requested, sign and date, and return to our office.

Board of Governors (BOG) Fee Waiver Application

Students must use the 2008-2009  FAFSA or BOG application to waive enrollment fees for Summer 2008, Fall 2008, and Spring 2009. The 2008-2009 (orange) FAFSA will not waive your Summer 2008 enrollment fees, but must be used for consideration of other forms of financial aid, such as the Pell Grant.

SAR (Student Aid Report)

This form only needs to be submitted to our office if you identify mistakes or errors that need correcting, or if specifically requested by our office. You may be asked to provide copies of documentation supporting your requested corrections. If you or your parent did not sign your original application, you may sign the SAR and submit to our office. If you need to print a copy of your SAR, you can do so at the FAFSA website.

This document is required of all financial aid applicants each year. Please complete all items, sign and date, and turn in to our office with all other requested verification documents.

Parent Update Form

You must provide the last name, first initial, and social security number for each parent or stepparent whose information is provided on your Financial Aid application. Failure to provide this information will result in a “rejected” financial aid application, and we cannot proceed with file review without it. Please use this form to update your parents’ information by completing all items as instructed, and have each parent sign and date form.

Verification of Worksheets A, B and C

You or your parents may have provided information on your FAFSA regarding types of untaxed or excludable income, or should have and did not. Please complete the Worksheet ABC Verification form and attach appropriate documentation to verify sources of untaxed and excludable income.

Verification of Childcare Expenses

Verification of Disability Expenses

Verification of Family Size and Number in College

We are unable to document the family size reported on your SAR, or we have discrepant information. Please follow the instructions and complete a Family Size Verification form to be submitted to our office.

Housing Verification

Income Certification/Non-Filer

If there are questions about untaxed income, or we need your certification that you are not required to file federal taxes, you may be required to complete this form.

ACG HS validation

Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG) Rigorous Course of Study Validation Form. This form helps validate the eligibility of high students for an additional federal grant. When validation is complete the form is returned to the Chabot Financial Aid Office.  Please read enclosed information regarding the ACG program.

Request to Change Personal Data Form

Use this form to update your mailing address, phone number, email address, and/or program of study / major. Remember that your financial aid funds are mailed to the address provided to Admissions & Records. You can give them a separate mailing address from your home address, if needed.
 

Petition for Reinstatement or Continuation of Financial Aid

If a student has extenuating reasons for failing to meet satisfactory academic progress standards (over 90 attempted units, or unsatisfactory performance), s/he may complete and submit to the Financial Aid Office a Petition for Reinstatement or Continuation of Financial Aid.

 

Dependency Status Change Request

A student who wishes to request a dependency status change must meet with a Financial Aid advisor. Students 24 years or older are automatically considered independent. You must be able to document the reasons you present in your request. In some cases, approval of this request can decrease your eligibility for federal aid.

Special Circumstances Petition

Please see the Financial Aid Office staff if you wish an additional review of your eligibility based on decrease in family income or other circumstances after filing the FAFSA.

Consortium Agreement

Only complete if you will be enrolled less than full-time at Chabot AND enrolled at another college for the same term you will be attending Chabot. Approval is done on a case by case basis.

Release of Information Form

In compliance with FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) laws, and to protect the privacy of our students, the Chabot College Financial Aid Office will not discuss a student’s financial aid file or eligibility with anyone other than the student. If a student wishes to authorize the Financial Aid Office to release information to or discuss financial aid with another person (parent, spouse, advocate, etc.), the student may complete the Release of Information Form. The release is good for one academic year only.

The release form must be signed by the student in person at the Financial Aid Office, or must be officially notarized. Photo ID is required of both student and representative at each visit.
