If you accept loans, you must submit a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and attend Entrance Counseling. See KCC's Financial Aid webpage for more information. If you do not submit a FAFSA at least 3 months before classes start, you may want to consider having an alternate payment option in place for buying textbooks. CHECK YOUR MYKCC PAGE TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO CHARGE. If
the Financial Aid office still needs paperwork from you, those documents will be flagged as "not received." You must
submit those documents, and wait for them to be processed, before charging items at the Bookstore. If
eligible to charge, the amount you charge will be deducted
from your financial aid disbursement. If your financial aid is revoked
for any reason, you will be responsible for paying back any charges made
at the Bookstore. Not all students are eligible for this program. To determine how much you may be eligible to charge, compare the difference between loans and grants and your tuition and fees statement.
