Paying for College: Other – Ask the Panther /ask-the-panther Sat, 25 Oct 2025 06:05:17 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Do I have to renew my financial arrangement every term? /ask-the-panther/649/ Wed, 26 Oct 2022 18:06:00 +0000 /ask-the-panther/2013/07/11/do-i-have-to-renew-my-financial-arrangement-every-term/ Yes, each term you must renew or verify completion of your financial arrangement.  In order to avoid deletion for non-payment, you must meet the payment deadline which is due generally two weeks before the first day of term.  Make sure to pay in full, sign-up for a new payment plan, complete all necessary financial aid requirements, certify your classes for Veterans Chapter 33 benefits, or have third party, scholarships, or program exemptions processed by the payment deadline.

]]> What if I get a private scholarship from a source outside of PCC? /ask-the-panther/566/ Tue, 25 Oct 2022 21:04:00 +0000 /ask-the-panther/2013/07/11/what-if-i-get-a-private-scholarship-from-a-source-outside-of-pcc/ Scholarships from non-PCC agencies are often disbursed based on the donor’s request. This often requires verification of enrollment. Usually outside funds are sent to the college to be posted as a credit to your student account.

You can check your account by  logging into MyPCC and clicking the Paying for College tab.

If you receive a scholarship from an outside source that comes in the form of a check made out to you, and does not go through PCC, you are obligated to notify the PCC financial aid office that you have received it and the amount of the award. If you receive a scholarship your aid can be reduced, usually in the loan area, to keep you within the limits of your Student Budget.
