In order to help students pay for tuition and sustain personal expenses during their studies, the school offers possibilities for financial aid available to all students. First off, eligible students may file the FAFSA in order to get access to federal grants and other government financial aid program. These programs are offered to US citizens and a small group of eligible non-citizens who meet specific requirements. For international students and students that do not receive enough federal aid to cover all of their college-related expenses, several types of scholarships are available. These scholarships are usually awarded based on merit and academic standing, as opposed to family income and financial situation.
With students from all over the country and the world enrolled here, the student body is very diverse. On top of offering a variety of activities and events for students throughout the year, the campus also supports its students by offering different student services. These services include career services, support programs, tutoring, dining services, disability services, a student government, and more. Students are encouraged to make good use of all the resources put to their disposal and to contact any school officer to gain more information on student services and support programs. Extracurricular activities are offered such as athletics, clubs and more to actively engage students.
Free tutoring services are offered to all students. These tutoring services may be offered by fellow students, faculty, or para-professionals.

It is also a possibility to work with computerized tutorials in any of the tutoring labs on the different campuses. Appointments can be made for students wishing to sign-up for tutoring but drop-ins are also welcomed.
