Financial Aid

The most successful financial aid applicants start exploring opportunities early in their high school years. We encourage you to submit all applications and documentation well in advance of your enrollment in order to ensure timely completion and notification of your award status.

  • Applying for Financial Aid – All students applying for financial assistance to attend COM must complete the FAFSA for each academic year they plan to attend.

    COM’s federal school code is 007096. COM offers a helpful resource – the FAFSA on the Web Worksheet – which allows students to read and complete the questions before entering their information online. The questions are listed in the same order as they appear on the website.

    Students may be requested by the Student Financial Services Office to complete a Verification Worksheet (either dependent version or independent version) and other supporting documentation for each academic year they plan to attend.

  • Financial Aid Deadlines – June 1 (for Fall semester); Nov. 1 (for Spring semester) and May 1 (for Summer semester). Applicants who fail to meet these deadlines should be prepared to pay all educational costs incurred until their application is processed and eligibility is determined. A file is complete when all necessary paperwork has been received, the information verified and the file reviewed. Processing time on a file is approximately four to six weeks.

  • Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements – The U.S. Department of Education requires standards of satisfactory progress for students who receive federal funds. The student’s total academic history is reviewed, regardless of whether the student received financial aid. In compliance with federal regulations, COM has established the Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements policy applicable to all financial aid recipients including student loans and those students who work on campus and are not eligible for federal funding.

  • Financial Aid Appeal Form and Procedures – The Financial Aid Appeals Committee meets once a month except in December. Students may appeal their financial aid probation status when they have documented extenuating circumstances, such as personal injury or illness, death in the immediate family or undue hardship.

  • Return of Title IV Funds Policy – The Student Financial Services Office is required by federal statute to recalculate federal financial aid eligibility for students who withdraw, drop out, are dismissed or take a leave of absence prior to completing 60 percent of a payment period or term. The Federal Title IV financial aid problems must be recalculated in these situations.

  • Check your financial aid status – All COM students can check their financial aid status using Self Service.
