Priority Deadlines for Financial Aid

Financial aid will be processed and completed for students who file a FAFSA and turn in all paperwork by the following deadlines:

  • Fall 2026: July 31, 2026 (2026-2027 FAFSA)
  • Spring 2027: December 10, 2026 (2026-2027 FAFSA)
  • Summer 2027: May 10, 2027 (2026-2027 FAFSA)

What You Need to Know

  • The 2026-2027 FAFSA form asks for 2024 tax information. 
  • You must have your official high school transcript or GED and active application (for new students) on file with the Admissions Office in order to be awarded Financial Aid. 
  • Once you submit your FAFSA to PCC, we will receive it within 3-5 business days and will contact you with any further updates. Please check your Portal/email for additional documentation required.

We will continue to review and process applications received after the above dates, but we cannot guarantee that aid will be finalized in time to avoid your having to pay out of pocket for tuition, fees, books, and supplies.
