Financial Aid Calendar

While students may apply for federal financial aid throughout the award year, UCC has established the following financial aid processing priority deadlines for each term. Students must have all of their financial aid requirements submitted to the UCC Financial Aid Office before 5pm on the priority term deadline in order to ensure processing and on-time delivery of financial aid by tuition due dates. Priority deadlines are set in order to give the Financial Aid Office the necessary time to review and process your aid accurately. Requirements submitted after the terms priority deadline will still be accepted; however, your aid will most likely not be completed by tuition due date.

FAFSA Deadline
