• Request an explanation of the various programs in the student aid package. • Know the College’s refund policy. • Know how the school determines whether satisfactory academic progress is being made and what the consequences are if it is not. • Appeal financial aid decisions through the CCV Complaint Resolution Policy. Remember: The financial aid counselor at each CCV academic center provides assistance to students who wish to apply for financial aid. Complete all required application materials on time and return them to the appropriate source. Early application will result in a smoother financial aid process. You must attend classes. Successful completion of your courses helps ensure your continued eligibility for aid. If you already have a college degree or have done college-level work elsewhere, special circumstances may apply to your aid eligibility. Talk to a CCV financial aid counselor about your previous degree. As federal and state regulations may change, CCV reserves the right to change our policies and procedures without notice in order to comply.
