Receiving Your Aid

 

Award Letter

Once Cascadia has determined your eligibility for aid, we will e-mail your award notification. You can then log into your ctcLink account to view your award, displayed by quarter, showing the types and amounts of grants, loans, and work study for which you qualify.

  • Launch your ctcLink account in the Firefox browser or on your mobile device.

 

Summer Aid Request

To request and be considered for summer quarter financial aid, you must complete and submit a Summer Aid Request Form to the Student Financial Services office.

Summer quarter is the first quarter of each academic year at Cascadia.

 



Enrollment Level (Full-Time or Part-Time)

Your aid each quarter will be awarded on the assumption that you are enrolled full-time (12 or more credits).

  • If you plan to attend classes part-time (fewer than 12 credits), you must fill out an enrollment level change form.
  • No adjustment to enrollment level will be made after the 10th day of the quarter, or after you are awarded (if awarding occurs after the 10th day of the quarter).


 
Disbursement of Grant and Loan Funds

Your grant and loan funds are sent to Cascadia. The college will first use the funds to pay your tuition and fees. The remaining funds will then be disbursed to you.

All financial aid refunds will be sent to students using electronic funds disbursement (EFD) through BankMobile Disbursements. To avoid unnecessary delays in receiving a refund, students must select a refund preference.

Financial Aid Repayment/Return of Title IV Funds Policy

2022-23 Financial Aid Repayment/Return of Title IV Funds Policy

Students who receive financial aid are subject to the Repayment/Return of Funds Policy. If a student is receiving financial aid and withdraws from all of his/her classes, any tuition refund will be returned to the financial aid program according to federal regulations. A student may also be required to repay a portion of the financial aid received and will not be eligible for future financial aid until all repayments are returned to the college. In addition, a hold will be placed on academic transcripts until all payment obligations to the financial aid programs and to the college are satisfied. Visit the Kodiak Corner for more information.
