Important Updates Regarding the 09-10 Academic Year:
Pell Refund Checks are mailed to students. These checks are mailed to the address the College has on file for you in the Records Room (F-Building). If you feel you need to update your address, please do so before checks are mailed in the Fall and Spring.
Loan Checks are still picked up in person with Valid ID in the Business Office. Only students who have taken the proper steps to apply for a loan will have one. Loans are not automatically offered to students. Loan processing for the upcoming 09-10 Academic Year will begin in July. Please consult our website in July for new information and instructions in applying for student loans. You may want to review a list of possible lenders at ELM Resources until our is updated.
