Notification of Your Award

Congratulations on applying for Financial Aid! Whether you submitted the FAFSA or the CADAA, here's a simple breakdown of what to expect and how to stay on track with your financial aid at PCC:

1 - FAFSA or CADAA Submission Summary

About 72 hours after submitting your application, you'll receive Submission Summary. This document shows all the info you entered—review it carefully!

Tip: If you think something needs to be corrected, talk to someone in the Financial Aid Office first—we're here to help!

Your application is sent electronically to PCC. If you're missing anything, we'll notify you through LancerPoint.

🔍 How to Access the My Financial Aid Card:

  1. Log in to LancerPoint
  2. Click on the "My Financial Aid" card on your dashboard
  3. Review your financial aid status and any required documents
  4. Upload all missing documents directly through the portal

Upload all required documents through LancerPoint as soon as possible—and try to submit everything at once to avoid delays.

3 - Award Notification

It usually takes 3 - 5 weeks to review your application. Once it's done, you'll see your preliminary financial aid offer in LancerPoint.

Keep in mind: Your award may change based on your enrollment or academic progress.
