Please Share with Students: Financial Aid Tips


To facilitate the financial aid process, please share the following Financial Aid tips with your students:

Cooperation. The financial aid process is a cooperative effort between both MCC and students. Please be sure to include your name and college ID number (M number) on all correspondence submitted to us.

Apply early. Attempt to complete the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1.
Get a <"

Come prepared. Please come prepared to the Financial Aid Office. Don't assume that we always know what you need or want.

Understand your rights and responsibilities. To ensure yourself the most aid possible, be organized and take an active role in your financial aid processing.

Carefully read all materials provided by our office. All paperwork is sent for a purpose and generally requires some action be taken on the part of the student.

Respond. Please respond promptly to all requests for additional information from our Financial Aid Office. DO NOT ignore requests for additional information. Your financial aid processing will be halted until the necessary paperwork is provided. Also, be sure to include your name and college ID number (M number) on all correspondence submitted to us.

Consult our Financial Aid representatives who can answer your individual questions about financial aid at MCC. Come see them at our office Bldg 6 Room 207, or e-mail us at: < "
mailto:financialaid@monroecc.edu">.

Keep your address(es) current. Make sure your address(es) are current with the Registrar.
Copies, copies, copies! Keep copies of all documents submitted to the Financial Aid Office and note the dates you submitted them.
