Don't be alarmed first-time loan borrowers...Be prepared!
Federal regulations require ACC to delay the first disbursement of student Stafford Loan funds for all first-time, first-year borrowers. Funds will be released 30 calendar days after the first day of class of the loan period. You might be asking yourself...Why am I considered a first-year student?
You are considered a first-year student until you have earned at least 30 hours (not including developmental hours) applicable toward the ACC major you have declared with the ACC Admissions & Records Office.Will all of my aid be delayed until the 30th class day?
Only the first disbursement of your Stafford Loans will be delayed. All other aid types are disbursed as your classes begin.Will the delay cause me to be dropped from my classes if I don't pay my bill?
If you accept your student loan, you will be held in all of your classes.How will I buy my books?
Grants are disbursed as your classes begin. If you need your loan to buy your books, then you must make other arrangements for purchasing them.Remember to complete Entrance Counseling and the Stafford Master Promissory Note. | PDF copy of this information
