Student Emergency Assistance Fund (SEAF)
A Student Emergency Assistance Fund (SEAF) Committee composed of at least two full-time College representatives reviews each SEAF application. SEAF Committee members rotate to allow for a timely review of SEAF applications. The Committee can include a (1) representative from either of the following for a total two: Financial Aid, Advising and Transfer, Business Office, Student Engagement, Records and Registration, CCC Foundation, or the Division of Student Affairs.
Once a complete SEAF application is received by the Dean of Student Affairs Office on a College business day (applications are not reviewed on weekends or College holidays):
- An email acknowledging receipt of a SEAF application will be sent to the Lynx student email account.
- The Dean of Student Affairs will read each application received for completeness.
- Applicants with INCOMPLETE SEAF applications will be contacted by phone and via Lynx student email. (Internal note: *Q for IT: not allowing incomplete applications to ‘submit’).
- Applicants with COMPLETE applications will receive initial feedback within 3 College business days.
- Final approval or denial decisions will be communicated via phone or/and Lynx student email within 6 College business days.
All decisions made by the SEAF Committee are final.
