The most common financial aid hold is actually a good one! In ctcLink there could be many different reasons you are seeing a hold on your account.While attending MCC, your ID or Highlander Student ID Card will become an essential part of your student life. If you see the “Tuition Deferred-Possible FA” or “Financial Aid Award Pending” hold on your account, that means you may have financial aid that will soon be applied to your account.

We add this hold, also known as a “positive service indicator” to your account in order to avoid being dropped from your classes due to non-payment. This hold will typically be applied before tuition and fees are due for the quarter and will remain on your account until financial aid has been applied. This hold does not guarantee you have pending financial aid. Please review your ‘Tasks’ in your ctcLink Student Home Page to ensure you have no outstanding requirements with the Financial Aid office. If you are no longer eligible to receive these funds, you must immediately pay your tuition/fees.If a balance is due after funding is applied, it is your responsibility to pay.This hold does not impact your ability to adjust your schedule, make payment, or review your transcript.Effective Jyou will be able to ensure your awards are active for the upcoming quarter via the ‘Financial Aid’ section in your ctcLink account.
