Financial Aid FAQ

 

Your student financial records are available online 24/7 .

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

Students enrolled before July 15 for the fall semester, or December 15 for the 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 the student’s account when disbursed to CCC.

If a student has been awarded a scholarship (with an award letter/letter of intent signed, returned, and processed) by these dates, their statement will reflect the scholarship as “anticipated aid”.

All anticipated aid is subject to change.

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

Students with no financial aid or CCC scholarships: all fees are due by the first day of class. These students may set up monthly payments—see “How can I set up monthly payments”.

Students with financial aid or CCC scholarships: the remaining balances after credits are applied are due by October 15 for the fall semester, or March 15 for the spring semester.

Can I charge my books to my Financial Aid?

 Yes, if ALL of the following apply:

• Your financial aid MUST be complete (award letter signed, returned, and processed) by July 15 for the fall semester, or December 15 for the spring semester.
• Your anticipated aid exceeds your expected tuition/fees and room/board expenses.  To charge against expected loan funds, the student must file a request with the 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). The 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 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 funds be available (aka Student Refunds)?

During fall and spring semesters, excess financial aid applied to your student account will be returned to you approximately three weeks after Certification Day (20th day of class).  All refunds will be posted to a student's TrojanWeb account. When complete, please review your most recent statement.  This may vary depending on specific situations, such as a late FAFSA completion or enrollment in a class that starts later in the semester.

How can I set up monthly payments?

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

What is the CCC Class Drop Policy?  

It is the student's responsibility to check his/her schedule and make any adjustments through the drop/add procedure.  Students may change their schedules in their online TrojanWeb account from the start of enrollment through the 100% refund date.  Students should be familiar with the Add/Drop/Last Day to Withdraw policy before making changes to their schedules.

To drop a course at CCC, log in to the student portal, select the course you wish to drop, and follow the prompts.

When is the 100% refund "Drop" date? 

As session timeframes vary, so do the dates on which a student may get a full refund when dropping a class. Please refer to the Refund Policy.

What is the difference between "Drop" and "Withdrawal" of a class?

A drop is processed in time for a refund as defined by the Refund Policy. The class will not show on your official transcript. 

A withdrawal is processed AFTER the 100% Refund Date, and the class will show as “WP” (withdraw-pass)  or “WF” (withdraw-fail) on your official transcript.
