FA to Communicate with Students Through HCC Email Only

Please be advised that Financial Aid will be communicating with students exclusively through HCC email addresses, regardless of the email submitted on the FAFSA application. Students are encouraged to monitor their HCC email accounts closely to ensure they don’t miss any important information regarding financial aid. Students who have not been assigned an HCC email will receive communications to their personal email account until their school email address has been created by HCC.

 

Are all of your courses covered by Financial Aid?

Financial Aid is awarded based on your enrollment status.

  • Full-Time Status – Enrolled in 12 or more credits
  • Three-Quarter-Time Status – Enrolled in 9 – 11 credits
  • Half-time Status – Enrolled in 6 – 8 credits
  • Less than Half-Time Status – 1 – 5 credits

When you enroll in a course that is not part of your active program plan, the course credits cannot be counted toward the enrollment status that determines the amount of financial aid awarded to you.

Your financial aid has been adjusted based on the classes that apply to your program plan. If your adjusted financial aid package is not enough to cover full cost of the courses that aren’t on your program plan, you will be responsible for any unpaid tuition and fees.
