5. The Financial Aid Office no longer mails award letters. Once your verification is completed, your financial aid award(s) will
be available on WebAdvisor through the Portal at http://mycampus.yccd.edu/. All awards are contingent upon available
funding and your meeting all student eligibility requirements for Federal, State and Institutional financial aid programs.
YCCD reserves the right to modify your awards at any time. A revised award letter will be posted if an award is modified.
The Financial Aid Office reviews your enrollment status, satisfactory academic progress (SAP) and other eligibility criteria and
will authorize a payment if you are eligible. The amounts listed on your financial aid award letter reflect the awards for a full-
time student. The amount you receive may be less because it is based on the number of units you are actively enrolled in
when the disbursements are processed.
