Course Program of Study

Antelope Valley College has identified several issues with the Course Program of Study (CPOS) process, and as a result, we have decided to pause implementation of CPOS until those issues can be resolved.

CPOS is a federal financial aid compliance requirement designed to ensure that only courses counting toward your declared program of study are eligible for federal financial aid. While the goal is to help students stay on track toward their degree or certificate, the current system has caused confusion and some of you have experienced unintended negative impacts.

During this pause: 

  • Your financial aid funding will be based on the total number of units you are registered in, not just those within your program of study. 
  • No action is required from you. The system will update your information automatically. 
  • Our Financial Aid, Counseling, and ITS teams will use this time to review and improve the CPOS process, so it functions accurately and supports student success. 

Once the CPOS system is ready to resume implementation, the college will notify all students directly. In the meantime, we encourage you to continue meeting with your Counselor to review your course plan of study for your major. Doing so will help ensure your progress remains on track when the CPOS process resumes.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to make CPOS more accurate, transparent, and student friendly.
