What will delay my money?

• Changes in your enrollment status: If you drop, withdraw or classes are canceled.
• Special student status:
  MCC Admissions Office must classify you as a "regular" degree-seeking student. 
• An incorrect or out of state address:
  Provide MCC Admission Office with your current information.
• Financial Aid "holds" due to lack of:
  • The Loan Entrance Counseling
  • Necessary financial aid documents or forms.
  • Un-graded and incomplete classes from previous semester
  • A new Department of Education regulation now prohibits our office from disbursing additional financial aid until all classes have been completed and graded from previous semesters.
