Service Wait Times
Most students receive an answer within two business days, but during peak times it can take up to five business days for the following areas:
- Enrollment Services (admission/enrollment/student records),
- Financial Aid (grants/loans),
- Student Financial Services (student accounts/cashiers/refunds), and
- Educational Planning (academic advising).
Peak times include:
- The first week of enrollment for the upcoming quarter,
- The dates tuition is due,
- The business day before the quarter begins, and

The campus is now open for in-person services. During peak times this is the quickest way to connect with our departments and get your question answered. Check the departments’ website for on-campus hours.
This option is for future students and community members with general questions. Due to security and privacy issues, we cannot answer specific student questions if you use this option.
Service Wait Times
Most people receive a response within two business days. However, it may take much longer if you submit your request during peak times, which are generally at the start of a quarter and at the start of enrollment for an upcoming quarter.
For future students, our Welcome Center, which includes admission advising and information about our programs, services, and processes, is now open for in-person service. If you can, we invite you to come to campus. This is the quickest way to get your questions answered and to connect to our campus ambassadors.
