Frequently Asked Questions

All CCC students must pay their account in full or have another payment method (Financial Aid, WIOA, etc.) in place before the tuition due date. You can find your due date on your registration statement or in MyCleveland. If your account is not paid in full by your due date, or you do not have another payment method in place, you will be dropped from your classes due to non-payment.

CCC offers a variety of options to help you pay for college. While financial aid is the primary source for students to access financial assistance, some students may also be eligible for funds through Veterans Affairs or the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).

  • Financial Aid includes:
    • Grants
    • Federal Work Study
    • Scholarships
      • Scholarships offered through the CCC Foundation are open to all qualified residents of Cleveland County. Recipients are expected to be full-time students. Learn more on the CCC Foundation’s website and complete the application. Application deadlines are April 1 and August 1.
  • Veterans Affairs
