Most financial aid offers are based on financial need. Need is the calculation subtracting the Cost of Attendance (COA) from the Student Aid Index (SAI) and from other Financial Assistance (OFA). SAI is determined by the Department of Education (DOE). Once students complete a FAFSA, the DOE provides their SAI average by email or submission summary.
Standardized budgets are established by each college. Students with similar circumstances will receive the same budget allowance for tuition and fees, food and housing, textbooks, supplies, transportation, and miscellaneous personal expenses. Adjustments may be made based on certain expenses. Click to view the Child Care Cost Add- On Worksheet.
Financial Aid is offered based on eligibility established by Federal guidelines and methodology.
If you’ve been selected for verification, it means that the Financial Aid Office is required to compare your FAFSA data to your federal tax data and other resources reported on the FAFSA. The FAFSA Submission Summary will display if you have been selected for verification. UCC Financial Aid Office will request documents from you, which these will show up in your Student Self-Service under the Financial Aid link. You will be required to submit a completed verification form and if necessary, turn in the specified year tax return transcript, a signed tax return, or a non-filing letter. After you have submitted all documents, the UCC Financial Aid Office will make any necessary corrections to your FAFSA. Corrections may take up to 5 business days to process. Once an aid offer has been packaged, you will be notified by email sent to your UCC student email to have you check your Student Self-Service to view your financial aid offer.
Some aid programs are limited so apply early. The date students apply for financial aid can affect their aid offer based on funds becoming depleted.
