Determining Your Payment Date:
Financial aid is paid to your IVC student account according to the current year's
payment schedule. Pell Grant funds are paid in three payments. Cal Grants, SEOG, and
Student Success Completion Grant are paid in a single payment.
To see the 2023-24 Payment Schedule click here. The "Payment Date" is the date funds will be available on the IVC Debit Card. This is approximately one week after funds appear on your account in WebSTAR.
Determining Your Payment Amount
Your payment amounts for all programs are based on enrollment status. The table below
provides the enrollment status based on enrolled units.

Financial aid payments will be based on your enrollment status, which is determined as of a set date each semester, known as the "freeze date". If you add units after these dates you will not receive an increase, the only exception is if you were waitlisted for a course by the freeze date. If you had no enrollment at the freeze date and later enroll for short-term courses only, your enrollment status will be determined at that time. You must begin all of your courses if you are removed from the class roster as a no-show, your enrollment status will be adjusted and you may be required to return funds.
Enrollment status can be adjusted for students due to Satisfactory Academic Progress standards. For example, you may be limited to specific courses as part of the condition of your appeal. Remedial and repeat course limitations may also reduce your enrollment status for financial aid purposes.
Pell Grant: This grant is paid in three payments throughout the Fall and Spring semesters. Two payments are made for the Summer session for eligible students.
