\title{Riverside City College 2014--2015 Grant Disbursement Schedule}

\section{Grant Disbursement Schedule}

You have submitted the requested documentation on:

\begin{enumerate}
\item Many factors determine your financial aid eligibility. TURNING IN YOUR DOCUMENTS DOES NOT GUARANTEE A FINANCIAL AID AWARD or DISBURSEMENT DATE!

\item All disbursement dates are contingent upon funding and subject to change. Grant disbursements are based on your enrollment status and units will be checked approximately 2 weeks before each disbursement date.

\item To receive your full disbursement amount you must be in attendance and your class must have already started. Payment for classes that start after the first day of the semester and payment for classes added late are included with your final disbursement of the semester. If you have applied for a Direct Loan, you will be notified separately of your loan disbursement dates.

\item If your Financial Aid staff has any questions or concerns regarding your paperwork, you will be notified via Web-Advisor under required documents as well as your student email or by phone.

\item Once we have received all initial and/or additional documentation requested, your Financial Aid staff will review your paperwork and the reported information on your FAFSA to ensure accuracy.

\item It is important to continue to check WebAdvisor and student email to see if any additional/supporting documentation is required.

\item Your Analyst will determine your eligibility by packaging and awarding your financial aid. You will then receive a revised Financial Aid Award email notification via your student email account.

\item You will receive your disbursement according to the processing deadline you meet. Please refer to the reverse for disbursement dates. DEADLINE DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT WARNING.

\item You will only be paid for classes you are actively attending. Remaining in all of your classes is critical to avoid repayment of funds received. If you receive payment for a class and drop, you may be required to repay a portion or the entire grant/loan you received.

\item Cal Grant and Direct Loan Recipients must be enrolled at least half time (6 units) and must have an active academic program (major) other than undecided. See Admissions and Records if updates are necessary.

\subsection{Important Information for Students Utilizing Federal Financial Aid}

RCCD is excited to announce a new method for receiving your financial aid funds. Starting in July 2014, Higher One will begin mailing bright lime green envelopes which will include a pre-printed Higher One card with the Master Card logo along with step by step instructions on how to sign up for your new disbursement method. Higher One offers students several options:

\begin{enumerate}
\item Higher One Card
\item Direct deposit into your bank account
\item Check
\end{enumerate}

Students will need to use the account number on the Higher One card to make a choice of activating the Higher One card, selecting the direct deposit option or requesting a check. It is also important that your mailing address is current to avoid a delay in receiving your Financial Aid funds.
