Can i get a fee waiver and financial aid from 2 different schools?

Okay so I was accepted to UCSD for Fall 2014. I am transferring from a community college. I am very happy about that. However, I have a question. I understand that I can only receive financial aid from 1 school, but is BOGFW (Board of governor's fee wiaver) considered financial aid? I am 100% sure I will be transferring, but I also want to simultaneously attend my community college since I have some prerequisites I need to complete for dental school. My community college offers it on Saturday which is when I want to take it. ANYWAYS, when I did my financial aid in January, I also sent it to the community college since I was unsure I was going to get accepted. I already received my financial award letter from UCSD and they will be the ones giving me my pell grants etc. My community college will not be giving me any pell grants even if I wanted to since I already have over 90 units so I am disqualified from receiving financial aid. However, they will be granting me the fee waiver since my parents are low income. So my question is:

Is it okay/legal to receive fee waiver (BOGFW) from my community college and at the same time receive pell grants from my university? I will be attending both, but full time at my university and only 1 class at my CC.

The UC, CSU, and CC have concurrent registration that allow you to pay tuition at your home school and still can take course at other school without paying, so look into that first. I actually was paying full-time tuition at a CC, but took some class at a CSU, but I had to ask for permission, and was on space-available only at CSU. You might get better chance the other way around as you are paying higher fees at UC.

BOGW is institutional financial aid, and financial aid office will need to review your FAFSA to approve BOGW, and they will see that you get FinAid at UCSD and probably will deny that. However, it worths making an appointment with the CC Financial Aid office and find that out for sure
