Summer 2013 Important Dates

Priority deadline to submit SAP appeal and/or MTF appeal forms

If your appeal and/or maximum timeframe is submitted by the priority deadline it is highly likely that a decision will be made by the beginning of the semester.  However, the financial aid processing time-frame may take a minimum of at least 30 business days after the appeal decision has been made.

Semester deadline to submit SAP appeal and/or MTF appeal forms

Each semester, or term, has a deadline to submit a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) appeal and/or a Maximum Time Frame (MTF) appeal forms for financial aid consideration.  Failure to submit the required appeals form, or forms, by the semester deadline date will result is loss of financial aid eligibility for the semester.  Late appeals will still be reviewed and if approved, financial aid consideration will be moved forward to the subsequent semester or term. 

What will delay my money?

  • Changes in your enrollment status: you drop or withdraw from a class, or a classes you registered for is canceled.
  • Having all late-start classes
  • Special student status:
    MCC Admissions & Records office must classify you as a regular degree-seeking student. 
  • An incorrect, or out of state address (please update on your Student Center at: My.maricopa.edu):
  • Financial Aid holds due to lack of:
    • The Loan Entrance Counseling.
    • Necessary financial aid documents or forms.
    • Un-graded and incomplete classes from previous semester.
    • A new Department of Education regulation now prohibits our office from disbursing additional financial aid until all classes have been completed and graded from previous semesters.
