The following schedule outlines the disbursement and cutoff dates for Fall 2025 term. Students must meet disbursement eligibility requirements.

*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 Offer/Award letter in Financial Aid Self-Service and check to see that you have the applicable awards showing up on your award letter-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, then a disbursement can be made on the next available disbursement date if all requirements are met.
