Financial Aid for Transfer Students

Tips for Incoming Transfer Students with Financial Aid

If you are transferring to CCC after applying for financial aid at another college, please follow these steps:

If you know your StudentAid.gov username and password:

  • Log on to studentaid.gov

  • Select "Make corrections to a processed FAFSA" 

  • Add Corning Community College (Federal Code: 002863)

If you do not know your StudentAid.gov username and password:

  • Go to studentaid.gov and click on "Log In" and then select "Forgot My Username" or "Forgot My Password" if you forgot your username and/or password. You can also select "Help Me Log In to My Account" for additional assistance with getting logged into your account.

You will receive your FAFSA results in about 7 to 10 days after you add CCC to your FAFSA.

If you are a New York State resident and are eligible for a TAP award, change your school code to CCC (code 2042) for the appropriate semester. You may change this online at www.hesc.ny.gov or contact our Enrollment Advisement Center and we can change it for you.

Students from mixed status families are now eligible for NYS financial aid, without completing the FAFSA, by going to https://www.hesc.ny.gov/altpath. Students may also reach out to the Enrollment Advisement Center to learn more about their options to apply for NYS aid. (Please note: this is not an alternative to FAFSA and students who choose to take this route will not be eligible for federal aid.)
