## Title IV Aid (Pell Grants & Loans) Unaffected by Federal Aid Pause

The White House has rescinded its recent directive to pause federal grants and loans, easing concerns over its impact on student financial aid. The Department of Education (ED) clarified that Title IV student aid, including HEA funds, remains exempt from the temporary funding freeze outlined in the now-rescinded memo from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

### Student Success Statement

At the Community College of Allegheny County, our goal is our students’ success. For us, student success is a holistic and inclusive journey. We are committed to meeting students where they are and supporting them in achieving their unique goals. While academic achievement is a cornerstone of this success, we recognize that true student success also encompasses personal, professional and career growth. It includes the development of essential life skills—such as the ability to navigate challenges and the capacity to adapt—in order to thrive in an ever-changing world. Ultimately, student success is realized when students complete their academic journey, whether by personal enrichment, earning a degree, obtaining a certificate, acquiring an industry-recognized credential, successfully transferring to a four-year institution or securing job placement.

### Financial Aid

At CCAC, there are a number of different types of financial aid that you can be awarded. The most basic categories are grants, scholarships and loans.

If you are expecting to receive financial aid, you can review your pending financial aid on CCAC’s Self-Service Financial Aid page. If prompted, log in with your CCAC NetID Account information.

Visit Financial Aid

*You might be contacted by a company saying they will help get your student loans discharged, forgiven, cancelled, or qualified for debt relief for a fee. You **NEVER** have to pay for help with your federal student aid. Make sure you work only with the U.S. Department of Education and their loan servicers, and never reveal your personal information or account password to anyone.*

The Department of Education emails to borrowers come from noreply@studentaid.gov, noreply@debtrelief.studentaid.gov or ed.gov@public.govdelivery.com. You can report scam attempts to the Federal Trade Commission by calling 1.877.382.4357 or visit reportfraud.ftc.gov

### Placement Testing

As a new student, you may need to take several placement tests before you register for classes.

These tests are not an entrance exam. They simply help you choose the right classes so you can succeed in college.

These tests are offered at home or on campus so you can take them when you are ready.

Our Placement Testing page includes information about exemptions and accommodations, registration links, and additional resources.
