Our Best Answer - How and when will I receive my financial aid?

Receiving Your Financial Aid

Your financial aid depends on when you completed your FAFSA, submitted your paperwork, had your file reviewed and accepted any funds offered on the MyGWC home page. The disbursement schedule can be found at  http://www.cccd.edu/students/financial-aid/Pages/Disbursement-Dates.aspx 

REMEMBER TO GO ONTO MYGWC AND ACCEPT YOUR FINANCIAL AID AWARD. Log in and scroll down to "Check Financial Aid Status" in Quick Links or go to https://mygwcfinaid.cccd.edu/sso/

For more information, visit our Financial Aid website.

You should activate your HIGHER ONE CARD as soon as you receive it, as financial aid money is credited to that card.  For facts about Higher One please go to http://www.cccd.edu/students/financial-aid/Documents/Coast_FAQ_2013_lowres_custom.pdf
