Government Partial Shutdown Impacting Financial Aid Application Process

Posted on by

The national electronic financial aid application process is being impacted by the partial shutdown of the federal government. We’re making every effort we can to determine student eligibility. As a courtesy for students selected for verification (the process used to confirm that the data reported on your financial aid application is accurate) we’ll extend the time you’re given to submit the required documents.

If you have questions, call the CPCC Financial Aid / Veterans Affairs office at 704.330.6942.

We look forward to a great spring semester, and we encourage all students to continue to register.

Please remember, all financial aid awards are subject to verification for accuracy. Adjustments may be needed after documents are submitted.
