College • Admissions Office (Ron Hardison). Show the form to the Admissions counselor (no signature is required from a CCCC counselor). Mr. Hardison will make a copy of your transient study form, will request a copy of your degree audit from SeaWeb, and will register you for your CCCC classes. [Note: VA students also visit CCCC’s VA certifying official with a copy of your completed transient study form.] • Step 5 PAY for your CCCC class(es) (whether you have financial aid with UNCW or not). If you have been awarded Financial Aid with UNCW, you will be reimbursed the cost of CCCC’s tuition through the main campus’ Cashier’s office about two weeks after your Transient Study Form is received at the main campus.

He/she will deliver the form to the main campus’ to the Department Chair for signature and then it sent to the Registrar’s office. At that point, it will be forwarded to Financial Aid for processing. • Additional Financial Aid Information: • UNCW and CCCC have a “blanket consortium”—meaning, that these two colleges communicate regularly about “shared” students who receive financial aid. Every month, the UNCW Financial Aid department creates a list of students who are receiving financial aid. They send this form up to CCCC to ensure that none of these students have applied for financial aid from CCCC as well. If a student has applied for financial aid through both institutions, the student will have to repay the aid received from the secondary institution. Therefore, do NOT apply for aid through CCCC if you are already a UNCW student receiving aid.
