Step 1

Complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). In order to complete this application you and your parents- if you are a dependent student, will need a PIN number. Apply for your pin at the pin website. You must list CGCC's school code 030722 on your application. If you need to look up other school codes go to the Federal School Code Search Page.

Step 2

Confirmation that your application has been processed will be sent to you via email if you provided an email address on your application. Otherwise, you will be sent confirmation via mail. The CGCC Financial Aid Office will then correspond with you by mail in order to notify you if any additional information is needed to complete your financial aid file. Submit any additional requested information in a timely manner in order to expedite your award.

Step 3

An award notification letter will be mailed to you indicating your financial aid award for the academic year. You must read this notice carefully and follow the steps to accept your award(s) as well as the conditions to remain eligible for the award.

Step 4

Review your Satisfactory Academic Progress. In order to remain eligible for federal financial aid you must continue to maintain satisfactory academic progress. If you fail to maintain satisfactory academic progress you will need to complete the Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal form in order to be reviewed for any future aid eligibility. Students must also complete their academic objective within an allowable timeframe. Once you have reached this timeframe, you will need to complete a Maximum Time Frame Appeal and be approved before you will be able to continue to receive federal financial aid at CGCC.
