Steps to apply for Financial Aid

  1. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) at  and include ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳’s School Code of 001007. If you are completing a FAFSA® for the first time, you will need to create an FSA ID for yourself to electronically consent and sign your FAFSA® form. Additionally, if required by FAFSA® guidelines, your parent(s) (FAFSA® contributor(s)) will also need to create their own individual FSA ID(s) to electronically sign the FAFSA® form and access federal financial aid information. Each parent must create a separate FSA ID, as it cannot be shared with the student or between parents.

  2. The Enrollment Services Office must have a completed admission application and all official transcripts for financial aid application to be processed.

  3. After submitting your FAFSA online, please monitor your email for messages and instructions from ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Financial Aid.

  4. If you are selected for Verification or require other documents to complete your file, you will receive an email from ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ with instructions on how to complete your required documents in your OneACCS student portal. ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ uses Inceptia to complete Verification. You may be contacted by Inceptia via your FAFSA email and/or phone number to assist you with completing the verification process.

  5. Check your OneACCS student portal regularly for updates to your financial aid status.

  6. After completing steps 1 – 5, please allow a minimum of 2 – 3 weeks for processing. You may check your OneACCS student portal for updates to your financial aid status and financial aid offers.

  7. If you have additional questions, please email financial_aid@cacc.edu for assistance.
