Financial Aid Deadlines
If financial aid is needed to assist with the bill, students and families need to ensure all financial aid applications and any additional required documentation is submitted prior to the bill being released. The Fall bill is released in mid-July and the Spring bill is released in mid-December.
- Federal financial aid can only be processed if a valid and completed FAFSA application is received for an academic year while the student is still actively attending. Any additional documents required for the FAFSA must also be completed within this time frame. FAFSA applications submitted after the student has taken a leave, withdrawn or after the end of the academic year for the college cannot be processed.
