1   New students have never attended college or have few college units and are learning how to use ECC electronic tools. Returning students separated from college but recently returned to ECC. Returning students have used electronic tools and are reviewing old e-tools and learning new ones. Continuing students have never separated from the college and should feel comfortable using electronic tools to navigate the financial aid process and website.

² Only students that have a high school diploma, GED or CPE may take the Math & English Placement Tests.  The Financial Aid Office staff person must refer you for the ATB Test if you did not get a high school diploma or failed the CAHSEE (California High School State Exit Exam). Bring your English & Math Placement Test scores with you when you meet with an academic counselor. The academic counselor needs your test scores to do your Ed Plan.

³ Complete the 2006-2007 FAFSA if you are attending Fall 2006, Spring 2007 or summer 2007 terms. Complete the 2007-2008 FAFSA if you are attending Fall 2007, Spring 2008 or summer 2008 terms. A Student Aid Report (SAR) is the output document produced by FAFSA. You can review your SAR online and make corrections immediately.

⁴ Hardcopy Financial Aid Planners are also available in the Financial Aid Office (E-12). This is not intended to be a compilation of all policies and procedures in effect at the College. 

⁵  The student and parent will need a personal identification number to electronically sign the federal financial aid application. The PIN number is a lifetime financial aid number and protects your privacy. Do not give anyone your PIN number.

⁶  You must turn in all documents at the same time for faster service or they will be returned to you. 

⁷  MyECC requires you to log into web services using your userid and password. Refer to our Information Desk, Announcements for userid and password information.

⁸ Please use your social security card and birth certificate to apply online. Make sure that you are enrolled in a degree program (A.A./ A.S./ Transfer or Certificate Program) with a major.  Students with undeclared majors will not receive financial aid payments.

⁹ Your financial aid checks may placed on hold if you are not meeting satisfactory academic progress standards at the end of the spring or summer semester.
