Phones: (707) 826-4321 Answered During Operation Hours

If you can't find your answer on our website, most likely we can answer your question over the phone. Phones are answered weekdays during our hours of operations. Please have your student ID number ready so that we may help you as quickly as possible. Students are required to have an Authorization of Release on file before the Financial Aid office can disclose information to parents or other family members. 

Appointments: Available Weekdays 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

We recommend to FIRST call our office as your concerns can likely be addressed without the need for an appointment.

Appointments are available on a first-come, first-served basis. These appointments are only for Cal Poly Humboldt students. Parents may accompany the student to the appointment as long as the student provides consent to release their financial aid information. If you miss your appointment, you will need to schedule a new one based on availability, and we require a 24-hour prior notice. Appointments are available in-person, at our office, or by phone call.
