  • Financial Aid can help you pay for your tuition and educational expenses. We recommend all students complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at fafsa.gov. Or, if you are an AB-540 eligible student, you can complete the California Dream Act application. Start your application soon after you apply to the college as the processing time can take weeks to complete.

    Important Information:

    • COC's Federal School Code is 008903 and should be included on your FAFSA.
    • Regularly check your My Canyons student email account for requests and updates from the Financial Aid Office.
    • For some FAFSA tips and information, click here.

  • Assessment services are available for students to complete ONLINE! You will be required to log in with your CanyonsID account. Please be sure you have set up your CanyonsID account (details above) before starting your Assessment.

    Notice: During all major holidays, assessment results and email responses from our programs will be delayed in processing, as staff will be on vacation during those times.

    Assessment will provide you with your course placements in math, English/ESL, and Chemistry (for majors that require Chem), as well as resources that may be a good fit for you. Our assessments are not tests, but are instead questionnaire-based. This system relies on "multiple measures," which include your academic history. For this reason, we suggest you gather a copy of high school transcripts if available (if not available, you can take your best guess). The online assessment module will first show you a short instructional training, and then you will be provided with information on how to access and start the assessment itself. The entire process takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. Additional resources can be found on the Assessment homepage. If you need help, contact assessment@canyons.edu.
