The FAFSA® has changed for the 2024-2025 academic year

Our financial aid team is working hard to process new aid packages starting in June 2024. Due to new rules and regulations, it may take longer than usual for new aid packages to be processed. Please monitor MyMHCC and your Saints email for updates and any needed documentation. Students will be notified by email when their award offer is ready to review. We appreciate your patience!

Bookstore vouchers

If you receive more financial aid than you need to cover tuition and fees, you might be able to use it for purchasing books or supplies. This is referred to as a credit or voucher. The maximum amount for bookstore credit is $500. You must first meet all financial aid requirements and be enrolled for the specified number of credits without being on any waitlists. The actual credit amount will differ for each student based on their eligibility. Feel free to use your voucher when buying books or supplies through the bookstore website.

Class dates and last days to add/drop classes

"Classes start" refers to the start date for classes each term. The "last day to drop classes and get a tuition refund" is the last day each term to drop classes and still receive a tuition refund for 10-week classes. Short term classes must be dropped earlier and dates vary. If you want to add a class on the "last day to add a class," you will need instructor approval.

Financial aid disbursement

Students eligible for financial aid and registered in at least one class starting the first week of the term will receive their aid disbursement on the "financial aid disbursement" day listed above. Financial aid refunds on Mountain Cards will usually be applied on the same day in the afternoon. For those receiving refunds through direct deposit, access will be available two to three days after disbursement. If refunds are issued by paper check, it may take up to two to three weeks for delivery by mail.

If all your classes commence in the second five-week session of the term, financial aid disbursement will occur after the classes have started, and instructors have verified attendance; disbursement dates may vary. Failure to commence attendance in a second 5-week course may necessitate a revision of your aid, and you might owe money back to the College.

Delays in the disbursement of aid may occur if you have outstanding missing documents for financial aid.

30-day delay disbursement

Students who have earned less than 46 credits and have never had a federal student loan before will have a delay on their first loan disbursement. Loans will disburse 30 days after the start of the first term in school.

Second disbursement day

This is for students who borrow a loan for one-term only. The funds are divided in half and released in two disbursements; the second disbursement will be on or after the mid-point of the term. This also applies to PLUS loans.
