Admission & Aid Paying for College Financial Aid Dates and Priority Deadlines

Dates and Priority Deadlines

 

Priority Deadlines

Submitting a FAFSA by the general priority deadline provides students adequate time to complete any additional financial aid requirements listed within ACES and to review their financial aid offers before classes begin.

If submitting a FAFSA close to the start of classes, students are encouraged to make payment arrangements to ensure their classes are not dropped on the payment due date. Students should complete any financial aid requirements listed in ACES as soon as possible to be offered financial aid.

Please note that meeting the priority deadline does not guarantee that financial aid will be offered if the student does not qualify based on federal or state guidelines.
