Easy Application

An Amazingly Simple Process

 

FAFSA CODE 003609

Because there are so many types of financial aid, all with their own set of rules, you might think that applying is a complicated process. Not so. Applying for and receiving aid all breaks down into these very simple steps:

When you receive your award notification, review all instructions carefully. You may also review your award online through SOS. If you need additional funding, we have other sources available. So just ask.

At the same time you complete an admission application with San Jac, request that your transcripts (high school or prior college) or GED record be mailed to our Admissions office for evaluation.

If you’re coming to San Jac as a transfer student, you must have a transcript from each college or university you attended, including foreign schools, on file in the Registrar's Office. You’ll also want to make sure to request an evaluation of your transcripts. So stop by after you’ve applied for admission. We’ll make sure you have everything in order.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can be completed and submitted online. You’ll need the San Jacinto College school code, 003609, and an FSA ID* to sign your application online. Please note, you must complete a new FAFSA for each school year. The school year begins with the fall semester and ends with the summer semester.
