Financial Aid FAQ

How will I know how much to expect to pay in tuition/fees?

Students enrolled before July 15 for fall semester, or December 15 for spring semester, will be billed to their “home” address by the Student Accounts office. 

If a student’s financial aid is complete (with award letter signed, returned and processed) by these dates, their statement will reflect Grants as “anticipated aid”.  (Loans will NOT appear as anticipated aid, funds will be reflected on student’s account when disbursed to CCC.)

If a student is eligible for on-campus scholarship (with award letter/letter of intent signed, returned and processed) by these dates, their statement will reflect scholarship as “anticipated aid”.

All “anticipated aid” is subject to change.

When are my tuition/ fees and room/ board due?

For students with no financial aid or on-campus scholarships—all fees are due by 1st day of class.  These students may set up monthly payments—see “How can I set up monthly payments”.

For students with Financial Aid or On-Campus scholarships— remaining balances after credits are applied are due by October 15 for Fall Semester, or March 15 for Spring Semester.

Can I charge my books to my Financial Aid?

(Only available for on-campus classes at Campus Bookstore) 

Yes, only if ALL of the following apply:

- Your financial aid MUST be complete (award letter signed, returned and processed) by July 15 for Fall Semester, or December 15 for Spring Semester.

- Your anticipated aid exceeds your expected tuition/fees and room/board expenses.  (To charge against expected loan funds, student must file request with Financial Aid and Student Accounts Offices.)

What is the Financial Aid deadline?

The preferred deadline for filing your FAFSA is September 15 (February 15 for Spring only students). Deadline for paperwork is November 30th.  In extreme situations, this is flexible.

What if my Financial Aid is not complete by the first day of class?

You must visit with the Financial Aid and Student Accounts Offices.  Or monthly payments can be set up—see “How can I set up monthly payments?”

When will excess financial aid proceeds be available (aka Student Refunds)?

During Fall and Spring Semesters, excess Financial Aid applied to your student account will be returned to you approximately 3 weeks after Certification Day (20th day of class).  All refunds will be posted on Trojan Web when complete, please look at your most current statement.  This may vary depending on specific student situations such as late enrollment, late completion of Financial Aid, enrollment in late start classes or EDUKAN classes.

How can I set up monthly payments?

You can establish a monthly monthly payment plan through FACTS e-Cashier. A $25 one-time per semester charge will be assessed.

What is the CCC Class Drop Policy?  (For On-Campus classes only)
