Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

Who can access my account information?
Certain information is publicly available regarding your account at MATC while other information is not. Please refer to the Student Handbook (pdf) for specifics. If you would like to allow someone access to your account information (i.e., parent, spouse, etc.) you must complete an Authorization to Release Information form. This form can be filled out in person at any of our Welcome Centers along with a copy of your photo ID. This release is only valid for the current school year therefore a new form must be filled out for each academic year. Without this form on file, we cannot release detailed account information to a parent, spouse, etc. if they call or visit with questions on your behalf.

Financial Aid

For general Financial Aid information, please visit Financial Aid.

I was selected for verification for my Financial Aid, what is the status?
The process of verification can take several weeks. You are required to submit the requested documentation in a timely manner in order to accurately complete your application process. You will not be awarded financial aid until this process is complete. Refer to INFOnlline, Communication and My Documents at MyMATC to ensure we are not missing required documents. If you have not been awarded before the start of the semester, you may be eligible for a tuition and book deferment. This will be based on your anticipated financial aid. Once your verification is complete, an award letter will be available on INFOnline at MyMATC.

When will my Financial Aid refund check be mailed out?
The date you receive your financial aid money will depend on the date you are awarded, and/or the types of funds you are eligible to receive. Your refund check will be mailed to you after any amounts owed to MATC are deducted. Students awarded before the first day of the term will receive funds approximately 30 days after the first day of the term.

Please check the Financial Aid Dates of Importance Students awarded after the first day of the term should check with the Financial Aid office for the disbursement schedule.

Is Financial Aid available for summer classes?
Please complete the Summer Financial Aid Application (form available late Spring Semester) to determine if you will have financial aid available for summer classes.
