SUMMARY:Rooted in Resilience: Native Plants and Fire-Smart Gardening
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 13 | 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. | CSUN G.A.R.D.E.N. \nRSVP Here! \nNative Plants and Wildfire Resilience in the G.A.R.D.E.N.: Talk with Scott Murray\nJoin the CSUN Institute for Sustainability for a hands-on garden talk with Scott Murray of Edge of Urban Farm as we dig into how native plants can help create more fire-smart\, climate-ready landscapes. \nNative plants are more than just beautiful—they’re built for resilience. With deep root systems\, natural moisture retention\, and adaptation to Southern California’s fire cycles\, native species help slow fire spread\, reduce maintenance\, and support biodiversity. By rethinking what we plant\, we can make our gardens both safer and more sustainable. \nScott Murray\, founder of Edge of Urban Farm\, brings over 40 years of experience in organic and regenerative agriculture across California and Mexico. His work focuses on transforming urban and community spaces into productive\, sustainable ecosystems. \nCome ready to get your hands in the soil\, learn practical strategies for wildfire resilience\, and leave inspired to grow change—one native plant at a time. \nRSVP Here!  \nEvent Accessibility\nThe CSUN College of Social and Behavioral Sciences and the Institute for Sustainability are committed to making our events accessible to everyone. If you require an accommodation or service to fully participate\, please let us know. Note: If you require an ASL interpreter please contact us no later than end of business day on Monday\, November 3\, 2025. To request accommodations\, please contact Dr. Sheila Steinberg at sheila.steinberg@csun.edu.

SUMMARY:2026-27 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and California Dream Act Application (CADAA) Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Current CSUN students are welcome to visit the USU computer lab\, log into a computer\, and fill out an online application.  Financial Aid & Scholarships Department staff will be there to assist with questions or help guide students through the application process. \nWhat to bring:\n\nFSA ID or CADAA login information.\nDependent students: if you are filling out a FAFSA\, you will need to know your parents’ email address in order to invite them to contribute their information on your application.\nYour 2024 W-2* if you earned income but did not file taxes.\n\n*A W-2 is not required\, but it is helpful. \nFor sign language interpreting needs\, contact Kathryn Vanegas at kathryn.vanegas@csun.edu no fewer than 5 business days prior to the workshop you are planning to attend. \nFrequently Asked Questions for the 2026-2027 Aid Application\nQ: What is CSUN’s federal school code?\nA: The CSUN school code is 001153 \nQ: I filled out an application for the current school year. Do I need to fill out another one for next year?\nA: You must fill out an aid application each year. For example\, the new 2026-2027 FAFSA/CADAA application applies to Fall 2026\, Spring 2027\, and Summer 2027 at CSUN. \nQ: For FAFSA or CADAA\, should I select renew or start a new application?\nA: Either option is fine. Renewing allows certain demographic information to transfer over; starting a new one will require you to answer every question again. \nQ: What will I need to fill out my application?\nA: You will need: your Social Security Number or your Alien Registration Number (for FAFSA)\, W-2 information only if you earned income and did not file taxes\, and your FSA ID or CADAA login. \nQ: Will I need my parents’ information?\nA: Yes\, only if you are considered a Dependent student.  If you are filling out a FAFSA\, you will need your parents’ email address. Students are required to invite their parents to submit their personal information on the application. Students cannot fill out the parent information section. Make sure to have your parents’ email address ready and enter it when prompted to invite your parents. \nQ: What if my parents claimed me as a dependent on their 2024 taxes\, but now\, I am not with my parents and I am independent?\nA: Your dependency status for financial aid purposes is not determined by whether you are claimed on your parents’ taxes. You will need to answer the dependency questions on your aid application. If it is determined that you are a dependent student\, you will be asked to provide your parents’ information. \nQ: What if my income or my parents’ income has changed since 2024? I no longer earn the same income. What information do I use?\nA: Your 2024 income information will be imported by the IRS\, and if your information or your parents’ information has changed in 2025\, you will have an opportunity to submit an Income Appeal in August or September of 2026. You need to submit your application using 2024 information first\, and then we can consider you for an income appeal. \nQ: Will I still be eligible to receive FAFSA or CADAA if I start working?\nA: Yes\, you will be considered and should apply every year to determine what you are eligible to receive. \nQ: What if I didn’t work in 2024?\nA: FAFSA/CADAA requires your 2024 income.  If you didn’t work\, you report as a non-filer with $0 earnings for 2024. \nQ: What do I do if the application keeps saying error when I submit?\nA: The application usually tells you what the error is and what you need to enter to resolve it. If you keep having issues with your application\, please call 800-433-3243 for FAFSA issues or 888-894-0148 for CADAA issues. \nQ: I’m a graduate student. On the dependency status\, it says that I’m considered an independent student\, but I’m still dependent on my parents. Do I still provide my parents’ information?\nA: Students who are pursuing a Master’s degree are considered independent even if they are still dependent on their parents. Because of this\, you do NOT need to provide your parents’ information. \nQ: I receive disability benefits. When the application asks for my working wages\, do I just enter the amount I get from SSI?\nA: No. SSI is not reportable income. You would enter zero for wages if you do not work. \nQ: I worked during the year of 2025 only. Does this change anything?\nA: No\, the 2026-2027 application year requires 2024 tax and income information. If you did not work in 2024\, you may indicate that you are a non-filer for this tax period. \nQ: Is it possible to get one-on-one help filling out the application?\nA: For assistance with individual questions on the application\, you may reach out to 800-433-3243 for FAFSA assistance or 888-894-0148 for CADAA assistance. You may also contact the Financial Aid Office at 818-677-4085 if you have a specific question.
