DISTRIBUTION OF YOUR PELL GRANT

Charging My Books and Supplies

You may charge your books and supplies in the College Store. The dates for doing this will be given to you by the Financial Aid Office when appropriate.

Cost of Living Check

Each semester, after we subtract your tuition, student fee, books and supplies from your semester award, the balance is provided to you and is called your Cost of Living check. The check will be mailed to you. It is your responsibility to ensure that the Admissions Office has a current mailing address.

If you receive your Pell Grant Award package (Notification letter, Pell Grant Award Information Sheet, and Pell Grant Award Agreement) from the Financial Aid Office at CCCC after the first day of class, the Information for Pell Students Handout will be enclosure (3) to the notification letter and will contain specific instructions, including when you can expect your cost of living check.

If you have a balance in your semester Pell Grant account after all charges have been subtracted, you will be issued a cost of living check. The checks will be mailed from the Cashier in the Business Office approximately 14 working days after the start of the semester.
