Pell Grants in Summer:
- Students who have been funded for two full-time semesters (12+ hours) may only be eligible to receive Pell if their enrollment is 6 or more credit hours for summer.
- All other Pell-eligible students may receive Pell if their enrollment is 1 or more credit hours for summer. The maximum Pell they may receive is the remainder of their eligibility from the Fall and Spring semesters. For example: if a student was full time (12+ credit hours) in Fall and 3/4 time (9, 10, or 11 credit hours) in Spring, they would have 1/4 of their full year's worth of Pell remaining that could be used in the Summer.
Student Loans in Summer:
- Students who received a Direct Student Loan in the fall or spring semesters and have remaining student loan eligibility will be offered the remaining amount of their student loan eligibility in their MyCCC account for the Summer semester.
- Students must accept the student loan in their MyCCC account to hold classes and receive funds.
- Students must be enrolled in at least six credit hours required for their degree or certificate.
- Students must ensure that their entrance counseling and master promissory note are completed on studentaid.ed.gov under "Complete Aid Process".
Financial Aid Disbursement in Summer:
Financial aid is awarded and disbursed based on the start date of each class and the number of credits you have enrolled in that apply to your degree/certificate for each summer session. If you drop classes after we process your financial aid, we are required to reduce your financial aid, and you will owe money back. Students eligible for Pell Grants or Student Loans in excess of tuition/fees may receive a book voucher at the CCC Bookstore. A book voucher is not additional funds, but early access to the aid you are already expected to receive. The book voucher will be emailed to eligible students email by the end of May to eligible students. No other financial aid will be disbursed until June 21, 2024. As the book voucher is not additional funding, any unused amount is not "lost" but simply part of the regular disbursement of financial aid that will happen the Friday of the third week after classes have begun.
Students enrolling in Summer who have not been awarded financial aid must sign up for the Payment Plan or pay in full. Students who do not choose one of these options will be dropped for non-payment from all classes. If you are dropped from your classes and wish to re-enroll, it is recommended you only enroll in the classes you are able to pay for at the time you re-enroll, as full payment is required at the time of registration.
