USING THE CHART
To use this chart, you need to know your Expected
Family Contribution (EFC) and your enrollment
status. If you need information on how to calculate your
correct enrollment status, click on the the enrollment status
link. Your EFC can be found on your SAR.
1. Locate your EFC on your paper or electronic SAR.
2. On the Pell Grant Award Schedule,
look at the left-hand column labeled "EFC" and find
the range of numbers containing your particular EFC.
3. Look at the columns to the right labeled
with the 4 different enrollment statuses. The appropriate
PELL GRant award amounts for every EFC are printed for each
enrollment status. FInd the column for your enrollment status
and move across the same row as your EFC until you find the
award amount for your particular enrollment status.
DISBURSEMENT
INFORMATION
If you have chosen direct deposit as your preferred method
of disbursement, your Pell Grant funds will be available in
your direct deposit account on the dates listed below.
If you did not select direct deposit
as your preferred method of disbursement, your Fall and Spring
semester checks will be mailed to you on the dates listed
below.

Note:
If you miss the regularly scheduled disbursement date because
your FAFSA was not processed in time, you may still receive
a late disbursement of Pell if processing of your application
is completed before your last day of attendance. Find more
information on our
PELL Q & A page.
ATTENDANCE
To qualify for any Federal financial aid payments, you must
actually begin attendance in your classes. Before disbursing
your Pell Grant, we will verify your enrollment status with
the Registrar. If you are excessively absent from a class
during the first 5 weeks of the semester, the Registrar may
record you as having unofficially withdrawn from that class.
The credits for any course from which you have withdrawn,
unofficially or otherwise, are not counted in calculating
your enrollment status, even though you may still be charged
for these courses. If you receive a completion grade in any
course not included for payment in your Pell Grant check,
you may request an award recalculation at the end of the semester.
WITHDRAWALS
AND OVERPAYMENTS
Federal regulations specify that you must attend at least
60% of the semester before you become eligible for 100% of
your federal student aid awards for that term. If you withdraw
from all your classes before you have completed at least 60%
of the semester, the College must determine what portion of
your federal awards you are entitled to receive according
to an attendance formula prescribed in federal regulations.
If you have received, or the College has received on your
behalf, more federal student aid funds than the formula allows,
you will have to repay any award amount to which you were
not entitled. If you fail to repay any award amount to which
you were not entitled, you risk losing your eligibility for
future federal aid payments. The dates listed below mark the
point in each term when you have earned 100% of your semester
awards:

POST-WITHDRAWAL DISBURSEMENTS
If you withdraw from your classes before the scheduled disbursement
of your Federal Pell Grant, you may be eligible to receive
a pro-rated award payment based on the number of days you
attended classes up to the date you withdrew. If you are eligible
for a pro-rated Pell Grant disbursement, you will be notified
by CUNY about your eligbility for any post-withdrawal award
monies. You will be required to indicate in writing whether
you wish to receive these funds before they will be made available
to you.
PAYMENTS FOR REMEDIAL COURSEWORK
You may receive federal award payments for no more than 30
hours of non-credit remedial course work. This restriction
does not apply to English as a Second Language courses.
SATISFACTORY PROGRESS
In accordance with Federal guidelines and University policy,
you must be making satisfactory progress in your program of
study in order to remain eligible for federal award programs.
You will be measured for satisfactory progress once each year
after the spring term and notified by mail if you are found
not to be meeting the satisfactory progress standard. Copies
of these satisfactory progress guidelines are available from
the financial aid pages of the College's web site at: www.bmcc.cuny.edu/finaid/progress/federal.html.
SUMMER PELL GRANT ELIGIBILITY
You may receive up to 2 full-time semesters of Pell Grant
in any award year. If you do not use all of your scheduled
Pell Grant eligibility in the Fall or Spring semesters of
an award year because either you were not enrolled, or were
not enrolled full-time, you may be able to receive a Pell
Grant disbursement for attendance in the following Summer
Session(s). The amount of your summer Pell Grant will be calculated
from your summer session enrollment, your EFC, and the College's
records of your remaining Pell eligibility. Calculated summer
Pell Grant estimates can be applied against tuition charges
to your summer session bill. If you have questions about summer
Pell Grant eligibility, speak with a Bursar or Financial Aid
representative at summer registration.
PELL GRANT PURCHASE ADVANCE
Since Federal Pell Grant awards for the Fall semester are
not paid until November and Spring awards not paid until April,
we make a portion of your award available at the beginning
of the semester to help you purchase books and supplies. You may be eligible to purchase your books, school supplies
and Metrocards from the college bookstore using your validated
BMCC CUNYCARD ID. Your purchase advance could be worth up
to $500 and will be based on the amount of Pell Grant remaining
after the payment of tuition and fees. Utilize your advance
at the bookstore anytime between the first day of class and
the end of the third week of each semester. Your eligibility
for the advance will be displayed on the PANTHER student information
system for the first 3 weeks of each semester. Obtain more information about your eligibility
for the purchase advance here.
