Important FAFSA Updates – Priority Deadline April 2, 2024

The Department of Education has implemented the FAFSA Simplification Act for 2024-2025. This means the FAFSA has undergone a major overhaul of its application process. Unfortunately, there have been significant challenges for students and families in completing the FAFSA due to issues in the application. We closely monitor the Department of Education’s 2024-2025 FAFSA Issue Alerts for resolutions. 

However, do not let the challenges prevent you from starting and completing the 24-25 FAFSA. The priority deadline is April 2. If you plan to transfer to a four-year institution in Fall 2024, please review your new school’s financial aid website for more information. If you plan to attend SMCCCD in Fall 2024, please visit our FAFSA Simplification website for the most updated information. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Cañada Financial Aid Department.


Student Survey - Complete and Enter to Win a $50 Gift Card

Please take some time to respond to this survey about your experiences at Cañada College. This feedback is critical to the College’s ability to improve its programs and services. Students who complete the whole survey by April 5th will be entered into a raffle to win one of four $50 gift cards (cash). Questions? Please contact Dean Engel.
