🌟Important Notice: Updates on the Financial Aid Department 🌟

Aid applications for the 2025-2026 academic year are now closed, but we are still working on finishing up any files that we received. Keep checking your email and your ctcLink Tasks tile for any additional documents we might need from you to help you get your aid!

💰Summer Quarter Aid:
If you're enrolled for Summer classes, we're prioritizing your financial aid to ensure you're supported for the upcoming quarter. To avoid having your classes dropped due to non-payment, applications submitted before April 30th will receive a Tuition Deferred hold. Our team is working quickly to process your Summer aid so you can focus on your academic goals. We work through files in the order we receive your aid application.

🔍To Do List:
Need to check if anything is required from you? Head to the "Tasks" section on your ctcLink home page for any updates. We’re continuously working to update the To Do List items, so please be aware it may take 5-7 business days for your submitted items to show as completed. Not everyone will need to submit additional documents, but if you do, we’ll notify you promptly once we receive your aid application.

WELCOME TO FINANCIAL AID
