Student Responsibilities Students must reapply for financial aid every academic year. (The academic year begins in August.) Applications are available beginning in January for the upcoming academic year. Students must have a high school diploma or GED. The student must be enrolled at PBCC as a degree-seeking or certificate-seeking student in an eligible program of study to receive a financial aid award. Students must keep their addresses updated. Students can change their information online at www.pbcc.edu or contact the admissions Office each time the address changes to avoid unnecessary delays in receiving checks and correspondence. Students must keep the Financial Aid Office updated on any changes to their academic schedule and/or enrollment status. Students who decide not to attend one or more classes will be liable for the tuition and fees unless they drop the course(s) prior to the end of the published add/drop period for that term. Students must notify the campus Financial Aid Office if they plan to enroll at more than one institution during the same semester. Students can only receive funding from one school at a time; however, you may be eligible to have your award amounts adjusted if you qualify for dual enrollment. See the campus Financial Aid Office for details. Students must meet the College’s Standards of Academic Progress to be eligible to receive financial aid (see the Standards of Academic Progress section). Failure to meet these minimum standards will result in the suspension of the award(s). All transfer students must have all postsecondary transcripts evaluated by PBCC before there can be an offer of financial aid.
