Financial Aid Transfer Students

    Mid Year Transfer

    If you are transferring to MCCC in the middle of an academic year, ie. after the Fall term, you need to complete the following steps to ensure your financial aid will be in place for the Spring term.

    • File a FAFSA
    • If you have already filed a FAFSA at your present school, you need to change the school listed to Montgomery County Community College (School Code 004452). This can be done online at www.fafsa.ed.gov or by making the correction on your SAR (Student Aid Report) and mailing it.
    • Contact PHEAA at 1-800-692-7392 to change the school that is listed to receive your state grant information.
    • Provide the Registrar’s Office with a copy of your most recent transcript from all previous schools.
    • Be sure to cancel any Financial Aid at your previous school.

    It is important to note for Stafford Loan funding, the number of credits that Montgomery County Community College has accepted as transfer credits will be used to determine your grade level, not the number of credits you have completed at your previous school.

    End of Academic Year Transfer

    If you are planning to transfer to MCCC for the next academic year, you must complete the following steps.

    • File a FAFSA and list MCCC (School Code 004452) as the intended school. The FAFSA must be on file prior to the May 1 deadline in order to be considered for maximum financial aid.
    • Provide the Registrar’s Office with a copy of your most recent transcript from all previous schools.

    Transfer from MCCC

    If you are transferring from MCCC to another school you will need to list that school on your FAFSA application. You also need to contact the Financial Aid Office at the school you are transferring to. It is important to be aware of any additional forms and deadlines that school may require.
