Financial Aid MCS Update

I was one of the few whose MCS disappeared the same week school started (and still gone) so I had called. Whether you have it or don’t have it on your package doesn’t matter. They are currently being reviewed the last week of October, and may officially be rolling out in people’s bank accounts the first week of November!

If you still don’t see an estimate on the final week of October you may call and they can tell you why you didn’t qualify!

So are the numbers we’ve been seeing final?

They said for those who still see their numbers - those are just temporary numbers, that they will be reviewing and sending out actual offers last week of October! (But most likely, it won’t change much from what you see)

Ok I got the same answer, (the first part) that it’s temporary. I’ve been going back
And forth with this because on the CSAC website, my amount is higher for what they are giving me and I know the school has to give what we’re eligible for am I correct?

Dude my MCS disappeared from my portal about 2 weeks ago & I’ve been kinda stressing tbh because it’s funds that I was looking forward to for my classes. 🥲
