The student must formally accept or reject each award by completing the requested items on the award proposal and returning one copy to the Financial Aid Office. If a student fails to return an award proposal within the time frame specified on the proposal, all future listed awards will be canceled. A student may seek reinstatement through an appointment with the Financial Aid Director. Any financial aid provided by the college is not transferable to another college or university. Students transferring to another college must reapply for financial aid at that institution.
Financial aid is based on the number of credit hours a student is enrolled in.
All students will receive an original financial aid package based on full-time status unless the Financial Aid Office is otherwise notified. If a student decides to enroll for less than 12 credits, contact the Financial Aid Office to find out how the financial aid will be adjusted. GCC determines eligibility for the types of aid the student will receive, but many times final approval is given by the state, federal, and lending agencies. No financial aid will be disbursed until the student and the school receive an official notice from the various sources. It is recommended that the student periodically check with GCC and the agencies to find out the status of the student s application.
