Financial Aid
NOTICE:
Financial Aid Grant & Scholarship checks for students with an award in excess of their tuition, fees and bookstore charges will be mailed on Friday, September 11 once we have confirmed attendance in all classes. Loan checks will be mailed on Friday, September 18 for those students whose loans have been certified.
NOT ATTENDING ONE OR MORE OF YOUR CLASSES
MAY DELAY THE RELEASE OF YOUR CHECK!
**IMPORTANT NOTICE - PLEASE READ**
The Financial Aid office is very backed up this year with Fall awarding. We've received over 6,000 financial aid applications and are working as fast as we can. To be fair to all students, we are working files in the order in which they were complete. If you have already registered for classes and have not yet received an award letter, your award may not be in place by July 27, which is the payment deadline.
This means that you will need to pay for your tuition and fees by that evening or you will lose your classes. If you do pay, you will receive a reimbursement approximately 3 weeks after classes begin, if you are eligible. If you have not yet registered for classes, your payment or a finalized award will be due by 7:00 p.m. on August 17th.
We will do our best to have your award in place by then, but we can not make any guarantees for files which were complete (all requested paperwork and official transcripts received) after May 15th. Keep checking your Campus Cruiser account on the PCC Services tab to see when your award has been finalized.
