The following schedule outlines the disbursement and cutoff dates for Winter/Spring 2023 terms. VVC does not disburse any financial aid during the Winter term intersession. All aid will be disbursed for Winter and Spring at the same time in accordance with this schedule. Students must meet disbursement eligibility requirements.
Students are paid aid based on classes they are attending. For example, if a student has a class that is starting later in the semester, aid will not be disbursed until the course starts and the student is attending.

*CUTOFF DATE: The disbursement cutoff date means that a FAFSA must be received by VVC, requested documentation must be submitted and accepted, and an Award Offer Letter generated by the Office of Financial Aid on or before the cutoff date to make that disbursement run. To determine the cutoff date for your file, view your Checklist in Financial Aid Self-Service and check for the last date a document(s) was submitted-click for Financial Aid Self-Service Guide for step by step instructions. Please allow 14 business days for a FAFSA record to be received by VVC once FAFSA is submitted at studentaid.gov.
*MAKE UP DATE: The disbursement makeup date is a date after the original aid type was disbursed. If a student missed the cutoff date for an award, or submitted a FAFSA and/or requested documentation after the original disbursement date.
