Financial Aid Process
|
|
Apply for an eligible degree or certificate program at Admissions. |
|
|
Meet with an Academic Advisor (recommended) regarding course registration (financial aid does not have to be completed to register for classes, however if aid is not awarded by census day, see the Financial Aid Office). Need to know how to pay for college? |
|
|
Complete the FAFSA online (link is external) – This financial aid application must be renewed each aid year. The FAFSA opens each October 1st for the following fall, spring and summer semesters. It may take 5-10 business days for your FAFSA record to be sent to RRCC after you submit it. |

For instructions on how to accept a loan being offered to you, visit Federal Loan Acceptance and Disbursement. For the fall term, financial aid will be paid into your student account to pay your tuition/fees balance on September 10th (September 24th is the Federal Direct Loan disbursement date for first time Federal Direct Loan borrowers). Refunds are typically available via BankMobile the Friday after your aid has disbursed. |
|
|
Get your books and supplies. If you have a refund available from financial aid, you may be eligible to charge books and supplies against your tuition balance. The TIV form must be on file in the Financial Aid Office. This option is available to eligible students two weeks prior to the start of each term. You may charge up to $750 at the bookstore. |

Welcome to Red Rocks Community College’s Financial Aid Office. We hope your experiences at RRCC are some of the most memorable and rewarding of your lifetime. The better you understand the financial aid process, the better chance you have of maximizing the amount of aid you'll receive. Keep in mind, some financial aid is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so apply early and stay informed on the status of your application.
To assure your application is processed and awarded prior to the first day of class, Priority Dates have been established. Students can still apply for federal aid throughout the academic year, but we strongly recommended that you submit your application prior to the established priority date in order to have a financial aid award in place before tuition payment deadlines.
Priority deadlines for filing the FAFSA are:
Fall financial aid – apply by the preceding April 1
Spring financial aid – apply by the preceding September 1
Summer financial aid – apply by the preceding February 1
Payment deadline
If your financial aid is not enough to cover your tuition bill, you will need to establish a payment plan with the Cashiers office by these dates:
Fall 2018 - September 5th, 2018
Scholarships
Visit the RRCC Foundation page to view scholarship opportunities, deadlines and requirements. All Foundation scholarship material must be received by midnight on March 2, 2018.
