I want to pay for my own summer classes at a cc,when should i start doing all my financial aid stuff?

It is recommended that you do all your paperwork for financial aid one semester prior to the semester that you start school. So in your case I would recommending do your financial paperwork during the summer 2011 for the fall semester of 2011. That way you will know if you will receive any financial assistance for your education before the fall semester starts.
