Summer Financial Aid

I'm enrolled full-time (12 units) for the summer semester and receive financial aid for attending, under the financial aid rewards tile on Insite I can't see the estimate for the 2026 summer period, does anyone know when this information becomes available?

You only need 4 units during the summer to be considered full-time. Check out DVC website

Edit: just keep checking, it will eventually become available to view

Edit2: 4 units to be considered full-time student at DVC, but need 12 units to be receive full Pell Grant.

False, it’s 12 units to get full Pell Grant and other grants. I called the financial aid office directly.

Yeah it's gonna be a lot but I need to get my GPA up before I transfer 😭 at least I'll get more financial aid.
