Financial Aid
Extended Learning does not sanction any one lender; however, there are a multitude of private lenders that will fund programs for Extended Learning (non-matriculated) students. If you are a student who is matriculated (formally accepted to the campus) in an Extended Learning degree program and need additional information about Financial Aid options, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 760-750-4850 or go to Financial Aid.
