The CARES Act was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Trump on March 27, 2020, to provide economic relief for students due to COVID-19.

Each institution has significant discretion on how to award this emergency assistance to students.

The Department of Education requires each institution to sign the funding Certification and Agreement and submit a report regularly on how the fund is distributed. As part of the reporting requirements, Coastline College is required to disclose the following information on its website:
