Financial Aid Handbook and Student Aid Guide
Notification Procedure
When the FAFSA application is received by UCC's Financial Aid Office, a Welcome Letter is sent to the applicant's personal email that contains further instructions. After processing each student file, a financial aid offer will be sent to each eligible student's UCC email. Financial aid offers are accepted via Student Self Service by the time frame indicated on the offers notification.
Aid Offer Description
Cost of Attendance (COA)
The COA includes tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, transportation, and personal expenses.
Additional Funding Resources
Aid that students are scheduled to receive are considered additional funding resources. Resources may include but are not limited to:
- Scholarships
- Tuition Wavers
- Tribal Funds
- Merit Awards
Financial Aid Resources/Additional information (Return to Title IV)
This section authorizes the UCC Financial Aid Office to pay any charges a student may incur on their student account. Students must either accept or decline their decision before their aid offer is packaged.
Unmet Need
This is the difference between your Cost of Attendance (COA) minus the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and Resources.
Over-Payment
Previous offer amounts may change if the total amount of a student's resources exceed the COA. Certain Federal and State aid programs require colleges to adjust offers to eliminate over-payment to students. Students in over-payment may be required to repay the college.
