Are you advising students about registering for next semester?

As part of the process, NOW is the time for students to file for financial aid for 2004-2005.  Students who pre-register for fall will have a tuition due date of July 15th.  Filing for financial aid NOW will help insure that any eligible financial aid can be posted for their bill.  The following steps are the recommended process:

Apply for a Federal PIN at HYPERLINK "https://www.pin.ed.gov"www.pin.ed.gov
Complete Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Complete the NYS TAP Application.  This can be done online by clicking on the link at the confirmation page of the Fafsa on the Web.

Respond to any request for additional information from the MCC Financial Aid Office.
File separate applications with the Financial Aid Office, if you are interested in: William D. Ford Federal Direct Student Loan, Federal Work-Study (FWS), and/or MCC Scholarship Program.

Students applying for a Federal Direct Student Loan also will need to:
Complete a Loan Entrance Counseling session prior to the disbursement of their loan.
Complete and sign the promissory note for their student loan.
